Andy’s agent confirmed the exciting news a statement.
“Andy and Kim had a daughter in the early hours of Sunday morning, and the family are doing well.”
The 28-year-old star’s grandmother, Shirley Erskine, was the first to break the news via BBC Scotland.
“I am absolutely delighted, as you can imagine,” she said. “It seems a long time that we’ve been waiting for this, but all’s well now, as far as I know. I don’t have any details. I just know that I’ve got a great-granddaughter, so that is just lovely.”
On Tuesday, February 9, the tennis pro’s mum, Judy Murray, also shared the news, tweeting a photo of the mailbox that was previously painted gold in honour of Andy’s win for Britain in the London Olympics. Around the golden box were two giant pink ribbons.
“Dunblane baby love……..xxx,” the new grandmother captioned the pic.
Andy and Kim’s darling girl came just in time with the World No. 2. At the time, the dad-to-be said he would quit the Australian Open competition if Kim went into premature labour, and fly back halfway across the world to be at his wife’s side.
Kim and Andy tied the knot in April 2015.
“I’d be way more disappointed winning the Australian Open and not being at the birth of the child,” Andy said in January at Perth’s Hopman Cup event.
Luckily, it all worked out for the best!
Following the final, where Andy loss to world No.1 Novak Djokovic, the Scotsman paid tribute to his wife in an on-court interview.
Kim is known for her hilarious reactions off the court and we can’t wait to see how the little one takes after her famous WAG mum!
“To my wife Kim. She’s going to be watching back home just now. You’ve been a legend the last two weeks,” he gushed to his tennis fans at the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne. “Thanks for all your support and I’ll be on the next flight home.”
The couple, who tied the knot in Scotland last April, revealed they were very excited at the prospect of becoming parents.
“It’s going to be life changing when the baby comes but I am excited about that,” Andy quipped to the Daily Mail.
“People have asked ‘Do you think it will be a distraction?’ It might be but it’s a good distraction.”
