“It Was Terrible”: Andy Murray Recalls Nerve-Racking First Date with Wife Kim in Candid Queen’s Club Moment
Andy Murray may be a master of nerves on the tennis court, but his off-court experiences haven’t always been so composed. In a light-hearted moment at Queen’s Club, where the British star took on the role of an impromptu ‘agony aunt’ for fans, Murray opened up about his less-than-smooth first date with his now-wife, Kim Sears.
“It was terrible,” Murray admitted with a chuckle, delighting the crowd. Recalling the evening with rare candour, he described how the pressure of the moment got the better of him: “I got so nervous that I actually had to escape to the bathroom halfway through the date just to calm myself down.”
Known for his often dry sense of humour, Murray’s story resonated with fans as a refreshingly human moment from a sporting icon more accustomed to handling the stress of Wimbledon finals than first-date jitters.
The pair, of course, went on to marry in 2015 and now share four children. Their enduring relationship has been a steady presence throughout Murray’s career highs and injury struggles alike.
Reflecting on the embarrassing start to their romance, Murray added with a smile: “Thankfully, it got better from there. I guess she saw something in me even after that disaster of a first impression.”
In typical fashion, Murray’s candid storytelling once again revealed the down-to-earth charm that has made him a beloved figure far beyond tennis circles. Whether on Centre Court or sharing personal anecdotes at Queen’s, he continues to engage fans with honesty, humour, and heart.
