Gay tennis legend MARTINA NAVRATILOVA’s gorgeous girlfriend of five years is a former Miss USSR with a shocking link to the world of sadomasochistic sex, The ENQUIRER reveals.
Sources say the 57-year-old athlete is well aware of Julia Lemigova’s background – which includes the mystery death of her longtime male lover during a bizarre S&M sex session!
“Martina has been aware of everything since the day they met,” revealed a close source.
Prior to hooking up with Martina, Julia, 42, was in a relationship with wealthy French banker Édouard Stern, a close friend of then-French President Nicolas Sarkozy. Édouard was married but took lovers – both male and female – who are said to have been involved in his sadomasochistic lifestyle.
Julia and Édouard, who met in 1997, also had a love child together, Maximilien, born in 1999, but he died under suspicious circumstances at the age of five months.
