Captain Sandy’s wife, Leah Rae Yawn, cleared ‘exhausting’ cheating rumors about Martina Navratilova’s wife, Julia Lemigova. Leah also slammed the tabloids for posting unverified stories.
A tabloid-fueled rumor claimed Lemigova, star of The Real Housewives of Miami, had secretly boarded a yacht with the intention to “hook up” with Captain Sandy Yawn. The gossip originated from a leaked DM exchange involving fellow RHOM cast member Adriana de Moura.
An insider later debunked the story and insisted Julia and Sandy are longtime family friends, not romantically involved. Sandy’s wife, Leah, recently voiced her frustration over tabloid gossip. In a Substack post, she shut down rumors of Sandy’s infidelity as well as speculation that she was pregnant.

"At first, Sandy and I laughed. I mean, how absurd. But as time went on, I realized how deeply frustrating and, honestly, exhausting, is that the default narrative always seems to spiral back to infidelity. Let me be crystal clear: that claim couldn’t be further from the truth," she wrote.
Leah criticized a culture that thrives on 'scandal' over 'substance,' saying clickbait often outweighs dignity. She stressed that so-called "harmless gossip" can damage real relationships and reputations.
A friend of Julia Lemigova and admirer of Martina Navratilova, Leah described them as kind and talented. She called the cheating rumors false, juvenile, and inappropriate, lamenting how quickly baseless narratives spread without regard for truth or consequences.
Martina Navratilova's wife Julia Lemigova backs Larsa Pippen amid viral controversy and media misfires
Julia Lemigova recently sprang to the defense of Larsa Pippen, who found herself at the center of online controversy over a viral image criticized for an overly swollen appearance.
The Real Housewives of Miami star attributed the look to an allergic reaction to PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) treatment, not excessive fillers. However, plastic surgeon Mai Kaga cast doubt on her explanation. Their remarks fueled further backlash and gossip online.
Lemigova, married to tennis legend Martina Navratilova since 2014, doesn’t shy away from confrontation. A former Miss USSR and wellness entrepreneur, she has become a fixture on reality TV.
Lemigova chose compassion over judgment and condemned the cruel media reaction. Sharing an image of herself with Pippen on Instagram, she wrote:
"Behind every headline and photo is a human being with a heart. This obsession with tearing women down the moment they look 'different' is toxic, cruel, and beneath all of us. My friend you have always been stunning inside and out @larsapippen"
She urged people to focus on empathy rather than amplifying harsh judgments. Just like Leah, she noted that public figures are human and vulnerable to misinformation just like anyone else.
