Andy Murray and Kim Sears welcomed a third child last week, according to the tennis champion’s grandfather.
Speaking to The Scottish Sun, Roy Erskine, 88, revealed that the couple have welcomed a baby boy.
“It’s a wee boy,” Erskine said. “I don’t know his name yet. I’ve seen photos. I’m just glad it’s over. They’re doing fine.”
The couple already have two daughters together: Sophia, three, and Edie, two.
In an interview with The Times, Murray confirmed he’d be taking a short break from his sporting career to prepare for the arrival of his third child.
“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 wherever I can.”
Murray and Sears have been together since the two met as teenagers at the US Summer Open tournament in 2005.
