Tennis champion Andy Murray is retiring from competitive tennis following the Olympics, with the Scotsman managing to make the quarter-finals with doubles partner Dan Evans.
Off court, the Scottish sportsman is a self-confessed family man, and his wife Kim Sears is always spotted courtside cheering on her husband amongst Wimbledon's most prestigious guests. When he's not battling it out on Centre Court, Andy can be found playing tennis on the grounds of his family home in Leatherhead, which he and Kim share their four young children – Sophia, Edie, Teddy, and Lola.
The tennis player moved into the bespoke property after selling his £5 million, five-bedroom Surrey mansion, which was complete with a swimming pool, massage room, gym and tennis court.
Here's all you need to know about Andy's life outside of tennis with wife Kim...
First meeting
Andy first met his wife Kim at a party for the US Open in 2005. At the time, Kim was travelling with her father, Nigel, who was head of the women's section of the lawn tennis association in England. Their romance developed quickly but the couple managed to keep it under wraps as they spent time getting to know each other.

She was a teenager still at school at the time. "I went away with him thinking it's fine because he's never going to win so I'll be back in time for school on Monday and then he did!" she later recalled.
"I remember saying to my mum, you've got to call in and tell them I've got the winter vomiting virus and I won't be in, but then it was on the front cover of the paper so I was busted," she said.
Marriage
The couple tied the knot on 11 April 2015, and Kim was every inch the blushing bride as she stepped out in a bespoke Swarovski crystal-encrusted gown by Jenny Packham to marry her tennis champion.
Kim, who was 27 at the time, arrived at Dunblane Cathedral in a sleek silver vintage car, prompted by loud cheers as she debuted her ivory dress fit for a Queen, which featured a full skirt, elbow-length sleeves and an open V-shaped back.
Seven years on from their wedding, the happy couple still prefers to keep their personal lives private from their fans, but that doesn't stop doting husband Andy from posting the odd photo of his beautiful wife on Instagram.
The former World No. 1 once referred to his partner as one of his "three favourites" when he shared an adorable photo of Kim and their two border terriers, Maggie May and Rusty!
Children
The Wimbledon champion shares four children with his wife Kim – Sophia, eight, Edie, six, Teddie, four, and Lola, three.
