It's a boy! Andy Murray celebrates as he becomes a dad for the third time
Sir Andy Murray is sure to be celebrating after the birth of his third child, and first son, with his wife, Kim Sears.
Baby no. 3 was welcomed to the world last week and according to relatives, the two-time Wimbledon champ got to meet their new addition on Monday evening.
While the name has not been made public to the world, it is understood the baby boy was born at a hospital in London, near the family home.
The couple, both 32, already have two girls, Sophia, three and Edie, two.
Murray’s grandfather Roy Erskine, 88, said the former World no. 1 has already shown off his newborn son with his relatives.
He also told The Sun his wife Shirley, 84, travelled to her grandson to meet the newest Murray.
“It’s a wee boy. He was born during the week, I don’t know what his name is yet.
“My wife is away down, she went down this morning,” said Erskine.
When asked if Sophia and Edie were excited about the arrival of their baby brother, Erskin said: “Absolutely. I’ve seen photographs on my wife’s phone.
“They’re both doing fine. I’m just glad that it’s all over.”
The arrival of their son comes almost 10 months after Murray had hip surgery.
He recently joked about needing to get back on the road because the size of his family was getting “out of control”.
“I’ll definitely be taking some time off as we’ll be pretty busy with three children under the age of four,” he said.
“I’ll try to be around as much as possible in the next year, but I know my tennis career won’t go on forever, so there will need to be a balance between me maximising the next few years and spending quality time with my family.
“I’m lucky in that I can train close to home, so that lets me do things like the school run whenever I can.”
Kim sparked pregnancy rumours in July when it was believed she was wearing a maternity top to watch her hubby play at Wimbledon.
The couple tied the knot in his hometown in April 2015.
