Look who got engaged last week

Britain No 1 Andy Murray's agent has confirmed that the tennis ace has got engaged to his long-term girlfriend Kim Sears.

The couple, who have been together for nine years, were engaged on last Wednesday. The tennis player who last year ended a 77-year wait for a British men’s singles champion at Wimbledon, did not want to make a fuss with a public announcement but his agent has confirmed that the Scot proposed last week.

Sears, a 26-year-old, is a familiar sight supporting the 27-year-old during tournaments.

Earlier this year Murray, from Dunblane, joked during a question and answer session with fans that he was getting married after Wimbledon. He later told his 2.3 million followers that he wants to reveal three things, he doesn't smoke grass, he is not getting married yet and he doesn't want to kill Rafael Nadal.

Sussex-born Sears, who is the daughter of former Lawn Tennis Association head of women's tennis Nigel Sears, met Murray at the US Open in 2005.
