Andy Murray has teased his wife Kim over her nose after posting a picture of her with their 2024 AA Hotel of the Year Award for Scotland on social media.
Tennis legend Murray, one of the biggest icons in the history of British sport, officially entered retirement following the Olympic Games in Paris this summer.
The 37-year-old is considering a future career in coaching – but for now – he is dedicating time to his wife and family after spending so long on the ATP Tour.
Murray, who has been spotted on the golf course several times since retiring, paid tribute to Kim on Instagram on Wednesday after Cromlix, the Victorian mansion and estate owned by the couple, was named Scotland’s AA Hotel of the Year.
In the post, former world No.1 Murray made a comment about his wife’s nose, after a strange lighting glitch made it look like there was a mark on her face.
‘At least someone in the family can still win stuff,’ Murray wrote alongside a picture of Kim holding their new hotel award.
‘Congrats to my wife and all the team @cromlixhotel for winning the AA Hotel of the year award for Scotland. Not sure what’s going on with her nose here [raised eyebrows emoji].’
Murray and his wife Kim purchased Cromlix for £1.8 million in 2013, the same year that he won his first of two Wimbledon singles titles.
‘Kim and Andy aspired to keep their strong personal connection to the area where Andy was brought up, to evolve the hotel for future generations and share this special part of the world with returning guests and new visitors alike,’ reads a statement on the Cromlix website.
‘Long before its purchase, the hotel formed the backdrop to many a special occasion for the Murray family. In 1982 Andy’s grandparents, Roy and Shirley Erskine, held their silver wedding anniversary at the hotel in what was its first function following the conversion from a family home.
‘Golden and diamond celebrations followed, as well as blessings, birthdays and three Murray weddings, one of which was Kim and Andy’s own wedding in 2015.
‘Kim is the creative force behind the venture, and takes an active role in shaping the Cromlix experience. From the upholstery to the fresh florals, from the artwork to the lettering on the menu, each detail has been carefully, personally, curated – with a strong preference given to local Scottish artisans, suppliers, and designers.
‘The aspiration is to deliver a fresh, natural, effortless take on the quintessential country house experience, where guests can unwind, be themselves and enjoy a characteristically welcoming stay.’
