Engaged at last: Tennis star Andy Murray has proposed to Kim Sears, his partner of more than nine years
|
Tennis star Andy Murray has proposed to Kim Sears, his partner of more than nine years. The Wimbledon champion's representatives have confirmed the engagement, but have not released details or where the proposal took place.
Sussex-born Miss Sears, who has an English Literature degree, has been in a relationship with Murray after the pair met at the U.S. Open in 2005. Her father is player-turned-coach Nigel Sears. The 27-year-old has admitted he couldn't have come back to win Wimbledon in 2013 following his 2012 defeat if it hadn't been for her unwavering support.

In the past Murray has been notoriously reluctant to answer questions about his relationship with Sears but earlier this year he was forced to deny that he planned to marry her after joking about his love life on Twitter. Asked when he plans to marry Miss Sears during a Twitter Q&A with fans in January, Murray responded: 'We're getting married just after Wimbledon, should be a great day.'
But just hours later, Murray was forced to issue another tweet explaining that his words were said with his tongue firmly in cheek after the original message went viral.
