Martina Navratilova, 55, finds joy with 'instant family' as she becomes parent to her girlfriend's daughtersNB It took two hacks to write this article.
Quote:
She was at the peak of her legendary tennis career when most women settle down to become mothers.
Most? Settle down? Wouldn't that be a rather long peak?
Quote:
But at the age of 55 and after a string of tempestuous love affairs, Martina Navratilova has finally embraced motherhood.
She has become a parent to her girlfriend’s two young daughters, an arrangement she referred to as her ‘instantaneous family’.

Then love is another thing if you want to love someone of your same sex please don t put children in the middle. No one ask to them how they feel.
