Andy Cohen Criticizes Martina Navratilova Over Surrogacy Comments

Andy Cohen has strongly criticized retired tennis star Martina Navratilova for her controversial and now-deleted social media post declaring surrogacy "just wrong" and stating "sometimes you can't have it all." Cohen, whose own children were born via surrogacy, called her comments "ill-informed and dumb," emphasizing that she is uninformed on the issue and that her stance is a bad take. Navratilova's wife, Real Housewives of Miami star Julia Lemigova, publicly disagreed with Martina's view, asserting that they do not always share the same opinions and that she believes in surrogacy, suggesting Martina's remarks were taken out of context. Despite Julia's attempt to soften the controversy, Cohen intends to address the issue further during the upcoming Real Housewives of Miami reunion, although Navratilova will not attend. The dispute highlights broader societal discussions around reproductive rights and LGBTQ+ family building. Cohen’s defense of surrogacy is also informed by his personal experience and advocacy for the practice, including his role in legalizing surrogacy in New York.
