Andy Murray’s wife Kim shares rare insight into ‘loving’ relationship as tennis champion retires
Andy Murray’s wife Kim has praised the tennis champion as a “down-to-earth” and “loving” dad following his retirement.
In a new interview with The Lawn Tennis Association, Kim joined Andy’s mum Judy, his brother Jamie and former tennis player Tim Henman as they reflected on Andy’s life and career, sharing their fondest memories as the sports star made his final competitive appearance at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Kim, who married Andy in 2015, shared an insight into the couple’s family life, explaining how the tennis star is a “completely different” person on the court compared to at home with their four children – Sophia, eight, Edie, six, Teddie, four, and Lola, three.
“I almost viewed him as two different people because at home, he’s an incredibly loving, patient dad and he’s a completely different person when he steps on the tennis court,” said Kim.
While he might be one of the best tennis players in British history, Kim said he’s a “totally normal” guy.
“He can move like a gazelle if he’s chasing a tennis ball but if you watching him running across the road he looks like he’s in pain and he doesn’t know how to run,” explained the mum-of-four. “A lot of the time he doesn’t hold himself like an elite athlete but I think that’s part of his charm.
