Martina Navratilova recently proposed to her longtime girlfriend Julia Lemigova at U.S. Open tennis championship.
The 57-year-old Tennis legend popped the question during a break while she was providing color commentary for the men's matches and the moment was telecasted on the Jumbotron at the New York's Arthur Ashe stadium, People magazine reported.
Navratilova got down on one knee and offered her girlfriend a diamond-studded ring, to which Lemigova teared up before embracing her and said yes.
The 59-time Grand Slam winner, who won a history-making 1,442 singles matches, has been dating Lemigova, a past Miss USSR, since 2006.
