Julia Lemigova revealed earlier on The Real Housewives of Miami Season 7 that her daughters, Victoria and Emma, were “surprised” and “upset” when they learned about her decision to adopt two young boys with her wife, Martina Navratilova — but thankfully, they’ve since “come around” to having new siblings.Â
Julia shared as much in a recent interview with The Daily Dish, adding, “I knew it was just a matter of time.”
“And I know I was worried a lot, but I understand why they were feeling the way they were feeling,” she added, referring to comments she made about her daughters (both of whom are from previous relationships) on RHOM Season 7, Episode 9.
At the time, Julia noted, “They haven’t met [the boys] yet. They’re upset with us for not communicating enough with them about what’s going to happen. So right now, unfortunately, we are not at the best place with them.”
Julia Lemigova reveals updates on daughters Victoria and Emma
In the same interview with The Daily Dish, Julia also shared what Victoria and Emma have been up to lately.Â
“Emma is still in university. She’s studying. She loves fashion and, of course, skincare,” Julia said of her youngest daughter. “She wants to work with her dad in skincare, so her career will probably be at Clarins.”
“And Victoria, she loves traveling,” Julia continued. “She works now for PwC. She’s a little smart cookie. But she loves travel. She’s very creative. She’s on this self-searching path, and she told me she wants to move to New York.”
Victoria previously took to Instagram in July 2024, where she posted a photo of her and her younger sister, along with photos from her travels to London. “Around we go,” she wrote in the caption of the post.
“Love you,” Emma commented.

Elsewhere in her interview with The Daily Dish, Julia opened up about the two little boys that she and Martina adopted in 2024, and how they’re starting to share her love for animals as they grow up on their Florida farm.
“They now speak sentences,” Julia revealed. “You will see them as Season 7 goes, [as they] do more fun things. We interact more. They learn new things.”
“They’re moving,” she added, before revealing the biggest news of all: “They know how to milk the goat.”

Although raising two young boys on a farm is a lot of work, Julia and Martina are still stronger than ever. So, what’s their secret?
“You have to care for each other,” Julia told The Daily Dish. “You have to be kind. And you always have to keep the romance going and try to never bring your work at home because that’s one of the killers of the relationship. Dinner time is dinner time. No phones, no Twitter, no nothing. Just be together and find time to have quality time.”
