Not much is known about Julia Lemigova's relationships before Martina Navratilova. However, her relationship with banker Edouard Stern has been well-documented. The pair began dating in 1997 and welcomed son Maximilien in 1999. Stern reportedly wanted to marry Lemigova, per Vanity Fair, though it never transpired. After their son died in 2000, Stern was also found dead in February 2005 from gunshot wounds.
After these tragedies, Lemigova welcomed daughter Victoria in 2001, though it's unclear who her father is and if he was one of Lemigova's many fiances. She then welcomed daughter Emma in 2005 with beauty mogul and the owner of Clarins, Christian Courtin-Clarin. It's not publicly known if they were engaged at any point, but it's certainly a possibility. Lemigova appeared to discover her ideal partner when she met the acclaimed athlete Martina Navratilova at a nightclub in 2000, but it wasn't until their paths crossed once more eight years later that their romance bloomed. When Navratilova popped the question in 2014, Lemigova was finally ready to walk down the aisle.
