I should probably take her somewhere: Andy Murray admits honeymoon anguish as he vows to make it up to his wife

Former world number one in the ATP rankings, Andy Murray, has spoken on the frustrations his wife had to endure whilst on their honeymoon in Barcelona in 2015. Murray has revealed that over the course of his career, his wife Kim Sears made numerous sacrifices for the British icon — and that even extended into their personal life.

Murray has admitted that the couple didn’t spend as much time together as they could’ve during their honeymoon. Whilst on the post-wedding trip to Barcelona, Murray was still very much training to his maximum. Speaking to GQ, he said: “When we got married, our honeymoon was in Barcelona, and I was doing a training block. Essentially, we got to spend a couple of nights with each other, but I was practising during the day, training and going to the gym and doing all my physio work".

Clearly something that still weighs on the former Wimbledon champion, Murray added to his comments about how supportive Sears was during that time: “[A honeymoon] is very important for most couples. Maybe for her it was too, but she was willing to sacrifice that to allow me to chase my goals. She’s super important to everything I achieved, so now I’m trying my best to make up for all that".

In an attempt to make up for the sacrifices he had to make during his playing career, Andy Murray is now focused on making the most of his time off court and planning more trips with his wife, Kim Sears. When asked whether the pair might return to Catalonia, Murray responded, “That’s actually a good point – I should probably take her somewhere. I’ll do that, maybe in a couple years, when the kids are a little bit older".

Andy Murray and Kim Sears are parents to three daughters as well as a son. Sophia, born in 2016, Edie in 2017, Teddy in 2019 and Lola in 2021.

Delving deeper into his relationship with Kim Sears, during his playing days Murray revealed that he didn’t actually recognise the impact that she had on his playing career until retiring in 2024. Murray would also say this during his interview with GQ:

"She's been a huge support and a massive, massive part of my career. When you're playing, you don't always appreciate that. I think a lot of individual athletes – me included – would be selfish at times".

"You think a lot about yourself and your own performance, and your mood is reflective of whether you've had a good match. Say, I won. I'm in a good mood. I lost, I'm in a bad mood. It's not really fair on the people around you".

"But even at the end, when I was struggling physically and was not winning many matches, and we had young children, Kim was always so supportive of me continuing to play because she knew I loved the sport and loved playing".

During the span of his career, Murray would cement himself as one of the greatest of his generation — spending time as world number one, winning three Grand Slam titles, and capturing the hearts of the British public with his grit and determination. As time moves on and we slightly forget about the brilliance of Murray, his legacy will never be forgotten as the likes of Jack Draper attempt to take on the mantle and be adored similarly to Murray.

Before the beginning of the Queen’s Club Championships, Murray was honoured as a British tennis icon with Centre Court being renamed the 'Andy Murray Arena' — in a bid to recognise the lasting legacy he has left on British tennis. Murray has won the men’s singles at Queen’s a record five times, having made his debut in 2005.
