Andy Murray got a Father’s Day surprise after clinching the Nottingham Open today, after the British tennis star spotted his four children watching from the stands.

In the emotional moment, Murray stopped his acceptance speech after catching a glimpse of wife Kim Sears, 35, and his four children – none of whom he knew were attending the match, telling a delighted audience: ‘I had no idea they were coming!’

The former world number one beat Frenchman Arthur Cazaux 6-4 6-4 in the final to make it 10 wins in a row, and lift the Rothesay Nottingham Open.

During his post match on-court interview, he was clearly none the wiser that any of his children were there in person, saying: ‘Hopefully I’ll get back home tonight, see my kids for Father’s Day

Hey daddy: Murray’s wife, Kim Sears, 35, looked overjoyed as she sat in the crowd with two of the couple’s children

But they became public a year later when won his first tournament in California and went into the stands to give Kim a kiss.

Kim, who was 18 at the time and still studying at school, said that she asked her mother to call in sick for her, but pictures of them were splashed over all the papers.

The pair tied the knot on 11 April 2015 at Dunblane Cathedral in Scotland where she wore a glamorous Swarovski crystal-encrusted gown by Jenny Packham, who also designs outfits for The Princess of Wales.

They held their reception at Cromlix House Hotel in Dunblane, which Murray bought for almost £2 million in 2013.

The hotel was shut for a couple of months for a refurbishment led by Kim herself and has since reopened.

Kim gave The Sunday Times Style a tour around the place which was uploaded on YouTube. She said in the video: ‘We’ve owned Cromlix for ten years now.

‘I think at the point where it needed a refurbishment anyway and it was the perfect timing.

‘I’d finished building our family home, I’d finished having babies and I saw it as an opportunity to really put our stamp on it, put my mark on it.’

The hotel even has a private chapel where Murray’s brother and father both got married.

She said: ‘Those were really special memories for us.’

The pair share four children

together, Sophia, seven, Edie, five, Teddie, three, and a two-year-old thought to be called Lola.

Their fourth child was born in lockdown in March 2021 and the couple have never announced the baby’s name or gender.

In April, he posted a drawing by Edie after the pair had a coaching session together, where she hilariously wrote: ‘I don’t want to play anymore… you stand too close to me.’
