Martina Navratilova has been one of the trending people in the world of tennis. The former tennis star is known for voicing concerns regarding issues in the world like LGBTQ rights and other political scams that have been in the limelight.

Although she mainly talks about the serious issues in the world, for a change, she spoke about plans to adopt a child with her wife, Julia Lemigova. Navratilova has been with the former model for over eight years.

Well, our girls, we have an empty nest just recently. So, you know, I was busy raising a family. Now, I'm not really sure. Again, with the cancer bout, you know, I really want to guard my time and try to figure out where best to put my energies.
Former tennis player said on Kara Swisher’s podcast

The 67-year-old is already a mother to Lemigova’s daughters, Victoria and Emma. Now she has revealed that her partner has the desire to adopt another child. Continuing further, she added:

Tweeting is not it. I don't know. But neither is golfing. Well, Julia wouldn't mind having another kid. But I don't know. We'll see what happens on that front.

Martina Navratilova left terrified after second wave of Cancer Diagnosis

The former Czech-American tennis player is one of the people who have fought and won over cancer. She was initially diagnosed with throat and breast cancer back in 2010, which she recovered from with therapy. 

However, unfortunately, she was diagnosed for the second time earlier this year. This second diagnosis left the player terrified for her life. 

The second time I got diagnosed, it was a “holy sh*t, I could die in a year or less.

In October, she shared on US Talk TV that she is cancer-free, but there are still worries that it might return at some point in life. She wants to focus her energies on something positive and believes that Twitter is not it. 

Hence the idea of adopting another child. She recently reduced her number of tweets against the LGBTQ community due to the toxicity she received from the fans. However, Navratilova continues to express her views against Donald Trump and every move he makes to get votes from the citizens.
