Martina Navratilova proposed to girlfriend during tennis U.S. open

Tennis legend Martina Navratilova proposed to her girlfriend, Julia Lemigova, on the anniversary of her fourth single’s title at the U.S. open over the weekend.

The proposal was screened live at Arthur Ashe Stadium. “I was very nervous,” Navratilova told the Associated Press. “It came off. She said yes. It was kind of an out-of-body experience. You’ve seen people propose at sporting events before, in movies, in real life. Here it was happening to me. It was like I was watching myself do it.”

The aftermath of the proposal kept the good vibes going with a tweet:
