Julia Lemigova shares insights on how the couple first met and how it all began. After having crossed paths with each other in 2000, the couple did not see each other again until 2008. It was only when Julia Lemigova showed up to see a French Open match that they met for the second time.

Lemigova soon invited her to breakfast, which was just the start of what we call a ‘match made in heaven’. Post that, they moved in together. However, Julia was a bit concerned about coming out in public as LGBT+ relationships were still illegal in multiple parts of the world.

After 6 years, Martina proposed to her in the US Open and one year post this, the power couple decided to tie the knot.
