Andy Murray confirms wife Kim is pregnant and could give birth next week

Andy Murray, 32, and his wife Kim Murray, 31, are expecting their third child together, with the tennis star telling The Times the baby is due this month.

Andy is set to travelling to Antwerp for the European Open but will be on high alert in case Kinm goes into labour early.

He told the publication he had planned a four-week rest period following the tournament, with the time off coinciding with his wife’s due date.

The three-time Grand Slam winner said he had chosen the European Open in Belgium over the Stockholm Open due to its close proximity, the tournament being a quick flight back home should the baby come slightly earlier than expected.

“Obviously the baby can come any time from pretty much next week,” Andy said.

“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 [November 18-25]. If the baby came early, I would miss Antwerp and then maybe play at the Paris Masters [October 26-November 3],” he explained.

Andy and Kim are already parents to three-year-old daughter Sophia and one-year-old daughter Edie.

The following year, they went public with their romance with a kiss when he won the SAP Open in San Jose, California, hopping over the barrier to smooch his girlfriend in celebration.

In 2014, after nine years of dating, tennis ace Andy popped the question and they married in summer 2015.

Their eldest daughter, Sophia, was born in February 2016.

At the time, it had been just one week since Andy competed in the Australian Open.

Elsewhere, Kim was seen cheering on her beau at Wimbledon this summer, dressing her blossoming baby bump in a loose-fitting, maternity-style top

On another occasion during the tournament, she kept things casual in a floral summer dress with an empire line which flattered her growing bump.

Last year, Andy opened up about fatherhood in an interview with the Daily Record, saying: “Fatherhood has been great and I have loved it, and it has been exciting. Every day is different.

“But it is difficult because parents judge each other a lot and how one person prints is different to the next person and there is no right way of doing it, clearly.

“It is challenging,” he continued. “Because I get the feeling that everyone is judging how you are doing it.

“I feel we should be doing more to be supportive of each other because it is an incredibly difficult thing to do.”
