The tennis icon, 67, who has been married to Russian model and ‘Real Housewives of Miami’ regular Julia Lemigova, 52, since 2014, is considering adopting children with her partner after the former athlete beat two forms of cancer in 2023. Martina – who like her wife is a renowned Taylor Swift fan – hit out in a post on X in which she reshared an extract from a now-controversial article published by Newsweek last week in which reporter John Mac Ghlionn called the performer “not a good role model” as she hasn’t married or settled with a family aged 34. The tennis ace started her attack on the op-ed by reposting a message about the piece by Indian writer Kiran Mandral, 53, who slated the Newsweek article “barf inducing” and “vomit worthy”.
Martina added about the piece: “A massive pile of misogynistic bull(three poo emojis.) “This guy should be ashamed of himself and I can’t believe he writes for Newsweek..
.and they printed it. I mean.
.. .
” John Mac Ghlionn wrote in his piece: “At 34, Swift remains unmarried and childless, a fact that some might argue is irrelevant to her status as a role model. But, I suggest, it’s crucial to consider what kind of example this sets for young girls. “A role model, by definition, is someone worthy of imitation.
