Andy Murray opens up about career sacrifices wife Kim Sears made to support him

There’s no denying that Andy Murray’s wife Kim is his biggest cheerleader, regularly turning up to several of his matches with her feisty on-court attitude. Although the couple – who married in April 2015 – tend to shy away from the spotlight, they certainly have a huge loyal following and cultivate lots of media attention during Wimbledon.

 

 

Earlier this week, the blonde beauty, 33, sat courtside with her eyes fixed on both of Andy’s matches – just weeks after giving birth to the couple’s fourth child. They welcomed a baby girl in March, and are already parents to Sophia, five, Edie, three, one-year-old son Teddie.

 

 

 

Despite being a busy mum-of-four, Kim has still managed to find the time to cheer on Andy at the All England Club. In 2015, shortly after tying the knot, the tennis champion praised the “sacrifice” Kim has made for his career.

 

 

 

Asked about the attention that she gets in the press, particularly during major tournaments, he said: “I know she doesn’t like that and doesn’t want that. We’ve never asked for that. It’s not something that she courts.

Doting wife Kim studied at Sussex University after getting A-grades in music, drama and art for her A-levels.

He added: “That’s one of the things that I guess she’s also sacrificed, a little bit, for our relationship, and I appreciate that a lot. But hopefully there’s only a few more years left of it, and then we can get away from all of that stuff.”

 

 

Andy is one of the most successful British sports stars of all time, becoming the first British male tennis champion since the 1930s. He won Wimbledon for the first time in 2013 before repeating his success in the 2016 tournament.

Andy and Kim – daughter of tennis coach Nigel Sears – announced their engagement in November 2014 and were married at Dunblane Cathedral in April the following year.
