Andy and Kim - baby number three arrives

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-50020902 - Sir Andy Murray and wife Kim Sears expecting third child


Now Sir Andy, 32, has confirmed their third child is expected imminently.

The Dunblane tennis star said he may need to rearrange his playing schedule depending on the timing of the new arrival.

Sir Andy told The Times: "Obviously the baby can come any time from pretty much next week.

"I would adjust my schedule if I couldn't go to Antwerp.

"My plan is to play Antwerp and then I am done through to the Davis Cup.

"If the baby came early, I would miss Antwerp and then maybe play at the Paris Masters."

In case of a sudden call from his wife, Kim, to inform him that she is going into labour early, he has specifically chosen the European Open rather than the concurrent Stockholm Open as the Belgian city is only a short flight from home.

Blimey! :shocked: They do keep their baby news quiet, don't they? I do recall someone on here wondering if Kim was preggers when she appeared at Queen's in a flouncy blouse.

Someone in the media did make reference to it some weeks ago. Not 100% sure I can remember who it was, so I'd better not say in case I'm wrong!!

I posted this around 18/8/19....
Maybe that's what you were thinking of Jan?

"Re: Newspaper and internet reports
...confirmation from Mark Petchey talking to Mike Cation on ATP Tennis Radio...baby Murray #3 is on the way! Great news. Delighted for them."

[Rosalind]

I posted something - think it might have been at Queens - something like 'if she's not pregnant, she must have been snacking'. I then felt bad and deleted it. No-one is going to believe me now are they?! Nice that they are able to keep it so quiet imo.

Thanks - yes that was who I thought it was but couldn't be totally sure!

[LC the fan]

Seem to remember a fair bit of speculation around that time when Kim arrived in loose tops. Congratulations to them both. Edie will be just about two I think....remember thinking she was born near my own birthday.

[JennieF]

Delighted for them! Wonder if it’ll be another sister for Sophia and Edie, or a baby brother? Aw :eggchick:

[jagmad]

Any truth to the rumor that Andy is the daddy once more?
It's a boy apparently/ so they say????

[JennieF]

Looking forward to hearing about a safe delivery - boy or girl. :eggchick:
And cheering for England v South Africa tomorrow! :GBflag:

Who is "they"?

[jagmad]

Who is "they"?

Sorry it was on Face Book. Back the Brits and Andy Murray fans.

[lovetennis]

Like Jagmad I've seen people on FB saying the baby was born last weekend and is a boy. I never expected an "official" announcement - don't think they did that with Sophia or Edie either. Likely we'll get some kind of acknowledgement of the news when Andy comes back into the public eye at the Pique Cup. If it is true, many congrats to them

[LC the fan]

I thought Kim was hanging on just a bit too long. How wonderful, hope all are well, and delighted if he is a boy, nice to have both sexes. Oh dear, how the girls will spoil him at first

Official announcement via the BBC:

Sir Andy Murray's wife Kim has given birth to their third child, a boy. The baby was born in London last week. The couple, who married in 2015, already have two daughters, Sophia, who was born in 2016 and Edie, born in 2017.

Teddy Barron Murray!!!

There you go ... full report in The Metro including a dig at Ivan, his views on the children watching him live and putting on the pounds in the last few weeks (now getting back to match fitness). More in the Guardian also.

[Rosalind]

I see they have a SET of children :thumbup:

a grand slam number of sets - none of this wimpy best of three (so two or one) ! :)

I like the name too.

You can hear the man himself here. https://play.acast.com/s/thetennispodcast/807e1190-ab2d-4a6c-a58b-a0099560397d

The Tennis Podcast included a recording of yesterday's presser involving Andy in their daily pod about the Tour Finals. It also includes his thoughts about the upcoming 'event' in Madrid (can't quite bring myself to call it Davis Cup) and our chances there. As ever, Andy is very reasoned and balanced. If you don't want to listen to the entire podcast, Andy starts about 21.10.

S=Sophia
E=Edie
T=Teddy
Was that intentional?? :maggie:

[Stell]

I thought I heard the name Teddy, last night, when Naomi Broady and another woman were on radio five live talking about the ATP Finals and the rest of the players.
