It’s love-all for tennis superstar Andy Murray (that was a tennis pun, geddit? Geddit?).
The Scottish tennis champ proposed to his girlfriend of nine years, the extremely gorgeous Kim Sears, during a trip to the Philippines last week.

Andy, 27, and Kim, 26, met at the 2005 U.S Open, through Kim’s father Nigel Sears, a former player and coach. They’ve been pretty much hand-in-hand ever since (depsite a brief break in 2010). Andy and Kim own a six-bedroom home in Oxshott, Surrey.
We don’t want to be presumptive but we reckon it probably has a tennis court, and several bedrooms filled with tennis trophies and racquets.

Kim is an English Literature graduate and artist, and spends much of her time supporting Andy from the sidelines. Andy said in a past interview, “It has been good because her dad is a tennis coach and he still travels on the tour. She understands the sport well and is used to being away from her dad from a young age. She understands that sort of distant relationship, and yes it works well.”
Andy has won Wimbledon, the US Open, the 2012 Olympic games, and has been the runner-up in three Australian Opens. Again, we don’t want to be presumptive… but we’d like to place a few bets on any children Andy and Kim may have.
Congratulations, Andy and Kim (Kandy?!?). Doubles partners for life.
