Tennis legend Sir Andy Murray has reportedly finished filming a new Channel 4 documentary following his family life after retirement.
The legendary sportsman, who is a two-time Wimbledon champion, is said to have signed up alongside his wife Kim for a fly on the wall docuseries exploring their home life away from the court.
A source told The Sun newspaper’s TVBiz column: “Andy is a sports star who has only allowed glimpses of his life beyond the tennis court, so this is a major shift for him.
“But it’s expected to show Andy in quite a different light to his persona as an intense player.”
While the show is yet to be named, it’s expected to follow the Murrays’ trials and tribulations running their five-star Scottish hotel.
The insider added: “It will see him as more of a family man, a husband, and a business owner — as well as the more light-hearted humorous bloke many of his close pals and fellow tennis stars know him to be.”
Murray bought the Cromlix Hotel, which is in his hometown of Dunblane, for around £1.8 million in 2013.
Filming has wrapped on the Channel 4 documentary, which is expected to hit the broadcaster “soon”.
The docuseries comes from studio Rogan Productions, which has worked on documentaries focused on the likes of David Bowie, Queen legend Freddie Mercury, and actress Rose Ayling-Ellis.
Meanwhile, his and Kim’s four children – Sophia, 10, Edie, eight, Teddy, six, and five-year-old Lola – are all believed to be appearing in the programme.
He retired from professional tennis following the 2024 Paris Olympics, where he reached the men’s doubles quarter finals.
The tennis ace previously revealed while his youngest kids appreciate him being around more, he admitted his eldest child “certainly finds [him] embarrassing”.
Late last year, he told Britain’s HELLO! magazine: “When I drop her off [at school], it’s like, ‘Turn the music off, don’t get out of the car.’
“She won’t walk next to me. She likes to walk quite a few steps behind me.”
The former sportsman feels “very lucky” that he can be around so much for his children now and he thinks he is closer to them than ever.
He said: “I’m very lucky that I’m in a position where I’m able to do that.
“I do all of the drop-offs and pickups, and I’m now there for all of the birthdays and school events. I love it.
“My relationship with my children in the last year has got so much stronger because I’m with them every single day.”
