The news that the 27-year-old tennis ace had finally popped the question to Kim, 26, caused a frenzy on social media and among his fans. The Wimbledon champion is said to have proposed one week ago, after having deliberated on the design of the ring for a long time. While Andy's representatives have confirmed the news but have given no further details, a source told The Mirror: "Kim said 'yes' immediately. They are completely besotted with each other and have been there for each other through thick and thin. "They are just going to enjoy themselves before they start planning their big day."
