Popular Celebrity Daphne Joy. Henry Cavill. Do not get her started on vaccine conspiracy theories. Do people change over time or just become more like themselves? Navratilova — who lives in Miami with her wife, the Russian model Julia Lemigova , their two daughters, five Belgian Malinois dogs, turtles and a cat — certainly has not changed so much as the world has. She wears four rings and assorted other jewellery, including a gold necklace with a diamond insert shaped in the figure 1.
The usual status symbol shoes and purse round out the wardrobe. She was labelled a whiner and a crybaby by Nora Ephron , no less and a danger to her sport, because she was so much better than everyone else. After Navratilova criticised the government of her adopted country, Connie Chung suggested during a CNN interview that she return to Czechoslovakia. That drove me nuts. Name the qualities that allow a professional athlete to transcend the game.
Publicly challenging authority? Being an openly gay superstar? Transforming how people play and train for their sport? Navratilova checked each box. She hated being unable to speak her mind or tell anyone of her sexual attraction to women. When she received permission to leave for the tournament, she told her father, who was also her coach, that she would not be coming back.
She did not tell her mother. After a semi-final loss to Chris Evert , she headed to a Manhattan immigration office to request asylum. Three hours later, she was free. By the time she woke up the next morning at the Roosevelt Hotel , the story of her defection was in the Washington Post.
Navratilova kept her sexuality private for six more years, because it might have disqualified her from becoming a US citizen. She urged him not to. The tour was managing a recent controversy with Billie Jean King , who had been sued for palimony by a former girlfriend.
King at first denied the affair, then acknowledged it during a news conference with her husband at her side.
From that moment, though, Navratilova appeared with girlfriends and went about her life as she had always longed to. The crowd roared for Navratilova that day, but rarely afterwards, even as she won the next three Grand Slam singles titles, and then 13 more after that. Along the way, Navratilova essentially changed not only the way people played the game but also the way tennis players — men and women — went about their business.
Take a look at the physiques of male tennis players before Navratilova became Navratilova. That evolution began in the spring of , when Navratilova was at the Virginia home of the basketball star Nancy Lieberman.
