They tied the knot! According to UsMagazine.com, Martina Navratilova and Julia Lemigova were married on Monday, Dec. 15. The private ceremony was held at Peninsula Hotel in New York. The tennis legend stated, “It’s just really odd. I’m 58 years old and I got married for the first time. It’s about time, right? Growing up as a gay woman, you just don’t think about that, but then about 10 years ago I thought, ‘In about 10 years, gay marriage will be legal,’ and here we are.” The model and grand slam title holder have been dating since 2006.
