Andy Murray has enjoyed a meteoric rise to fame on the tennis court, earning him a plethora of grand slam titles and coveted awards.
Away from the spotlight, the tennis star is a doting father to four kids whom he shares with his wife Kim Sears. The couple share daughter Edie, son Teddy, three, daughter Sophia, seven, and a little baby girl whom they welcomed in March 2021.
As the former world number one gears up for Father's Day, the team at HELLO! is taking a closer look at the sporting star's wholesome family life. Keep scrolling for Andy's sweetest dad moments…

And we have to say, the star looked every inch the doting dad as he skilfully lifted his three-year-old son above his head. In his caption, he penned: "Just finished a great training week/holiday with my team and family at @peunteromanoresort in Marbella. What a great place [heart-eye emoji] thanks so much for looking after us."

Alongside the amusing picture, Andy shared: "When your daughters want to play dress up and say 'Daddy put on your skirt!' I tried to explain it was a kilt, not a skirt but they assured me it was definitely a skirt [laughing face emoji] #kids #meninkilts".

Fans went wild in the comments section, with one writing: "What daddy won't do for his wee girls," while a second chimed in: "Loving the crown!"
A third wrote: "The sobering effect of children!" and a fourth chimed in: "It's the matching tiara that makes it!"

Although judging by his facial expression, the father-of-four didn't seem too happy with his rather unusual predicament. In his caption, he gently quipped: "Preparation for @wimbledon going really well #tennis #dragon #wimbledon #kids".

Sharing a glimpse inside his precious family getaway, Andy penned: "They say never to meet your heroes but @mickeymouse was an absolute legend! Amazing holiday with the kids at @waltdisneyworld Apologies for the shorts."

© GettyDespite his best efforts, little Edie had other ideas… After a one-on-one session, Edie penned a very sassy handwritten note detailing the end of her mini tennis career. She cheekily wrote: "Dear daddy, I am not going to play tennis for a while, lots of love, Edie," followed by a string of hearts and kisses.

Crushed by his daughter's note, Andy included the caption: "5-year-old daughter has quit telling me 'I don't want to play anymore… You stand too close to me.'"
