Tennis star Andy Murray has proposed to Kim Sears, his partner of more than nine years.
The
Wimbledon champion's representatives have confirmed the engagement, but
have not released details or where the proposal took place.
Sussex-born
Miss Sears, who has an English Literature degree, has been in a
relationship with Murray after the pair met at the U.S. Open in 2005.
Her father is player-turned-coach Nigel Sears.
The
27-year-old has admitted he couldn't have come back to win Wimbledon in
2013 following his 2012 defeat if it hadn't been for her unwavering
support.

Unlike
many football WAGS, Miss Sears, 26, shys away from the spotlight as she
focuses on her career as an artist and looks after the couple's beloved
dogs Maggie May and Rusty at their home in Surrey.
She was once described by future mother-in-law Judy Murray as 'the best thing to happen to Andy'.
Mrs
Murray has kept mum so far - but she cheekily re-tweeted this message
from her 'patron penguin' at St Andrews Aquarium in Fife: 'There was me
thinking if it all fell through with @MontyThePenguin then the was still
@andy-murray to waddle down the aisle with me....'
