Andy Murray Announces Heartwarming New Addition to the Family
Andy Murray has shared some uplifting news with fans, revealing that he and his family have welcomed a brand-new four-legged friend into their home. The former world No. 1 took to Instagram over the weekend to post adorable snaps of their new brown puppy, proudly calling it the “new addition to the family.”
This special moment comes just eight months after the heartbreaking loss of the Murray family’s beloved border terrier, Rusty, who passed away last year. Their other dog, Maggie May, also sadly died in 2022. Now, Andy, his wife Kim, and their four children have opened their hearts to another companion.
In the first photo, the three-time Grand Slam champion was all smiles as he cuddled the puppy. A second picture showed the energetic pup sitting on the floor, already looking right at home.
Back in November, Murray paid a touching tribute to Rusty, calling him the most loyal and protective companion. “The house feels empty without you in it,” he wrote at the time. Now, with their new pup, the Murray household is filled with joy once again.
The 38-year-old has plenty of time to spend at home after officially retiring from professional tennis at the Olympics last summer. Since then, he has briefly stepped into coaching, including a stint alongside Novak Djokovic earlier this year, but his main focus has been on family life.
Speaking recently, Murray reflected on his new chapter: “Right now, I don’t really do anything. I’m a father, essentially. They used to like it when I lost, because that meant I was coming home. Now, I get to be here with them all the time.”
With a new puppy joining the mix, life at the Murray household is set to be busier—and a whole lot more fun.
