It's been a big year for Andy Murray and his wife Kim, who welcomed their daughter Sophia in February. While Kim has been keeping a relatively low profile as she settles into life as a mother, she has recently supported Andy at the French Open and is unlikely to miss the opportunity to cheer him on again at Wimbledon.

Kim was there to see Andy win the Wimbledon championship in 2013, but their romance dates back to 2005, when the couple met at a party in South Africa. The following year their relationship became public knowledge when Andy sweetly ran to Kim's side, to kiss her after winning his first senior title.

The East Sussex-born beauty has however always spoken of her desire to not just follow Andy around the world and runs her own business titled Brushes and Paws, a pet portrait company.

Perhaps the newest addition to the wives and girlfriends club is Nicole Scherzinger, who has been dating Grigor Dimitrov since July 2015 – shortly after his two-year romance with fellow Tennis player Maria Sharapova came to an end.

While the couple initially kept their relationship out of the public eye, they made no attempt to hide their affection for each other when Nicole supported Grigor at the Brisbane International tennis tournament in January. Now, with Nicole spending a prolonged period in the UK while filming for The X Factor, she may well be able to take some time out of her busy schedule to see her man play at Wimbledon.

A model from the Czech Republic, 24-year-old Ester Satorova began dating tennis player Tomas Berdych, also from the Czech Republic, in 2012 after his relationship with another high-profile tennis player ended.

Speaking about dating someone who isn't a tennis professional, Tomas has said: "I'm really enjoying that, that it's different, that I met somebody with a different life. It's a nice experience."

Their relationship went from strength to strength and in July 2015, the couple tied the knot in Monte Carlo, in front of 20 of their closest friends.

The daughter of socialite Isabel Preysler, Ana Boyer Preysler has been in a relationship with Spanish pro Fernando Verdasco for nearly three years. The lovebirds have only spent time apart when their work schedules conflict, but other than that, Ana and Fernando are close to inseparable.

Wedding bells and babies aren't quite on the horizon yet, as the 32-year-old athlete told HOLA!: "I would like to get married but I think we're not ready for it yet."

"I don't want to be a mum yet nor am I prepared to be one," added Ana. "It doesn't have to turn out this way, but I am quite traditional and would like to be married before I have children."
