Andy Murray's life now as former tennis star confirms new addition after heartbreak
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info It's been just over a year since Andy Murray bid farewell to his tennis career. The former British number one retired last summer, leaving behind an illustrious legacy as one of the greatest players of his generation, boasting 46 titles, including two wins at Wimbledon and one US Open, not to mention three Olympic medals. However, retirement hasn't seen him slowing down, with several exciting new projects and major announcements since he hung up his racket. Among these new ventures was a surprising collaboration with long-time adversary Novak Djokovic, serving as the Serbian star's coach for the Australian Open. This unexpected partnership took the tennis world by storm last year. Despite reaching the semi-finals in Australia together, their shock alliance concluded after just six months. Murray has since been associated with potential coaching roles for British talents such as Emma Raducanu and Jack Draper. However, for now, his focus has shifted away from tennis, embracing new roles outside the sport, reports Wales Online. In May, it was announced that the 38 year old had embarked on a new venture as a capitalist and had become an associate partner at Redrice Ventures in London, a firm he previously collaborated with for a co-investment in sports wear company Castore in 2018. In the role, Murray leads a team of athlete advisors - the Redrice Sports Collective - to help identify investment opportunities, particularly within the sports industry. The former tennis star's growing investment portfolio already includes the luxury five-star Cromlix Hotel that he purchased with his wife Kim in 2013 for a reported sum of £1.8 million, whilst he has also invested in Game4Padel, the UK's largest operator of padel courts. Last month, it emerged that Murray had secured another significant business deal, partnering with Scottish potato company Albert Bartlett - a long-standing supplier to Cromlix - to promote their products. "I was lucky during my early playing days to have access to the kit and facilities required to play and develop, and as my career progressed, to have the best diet and training advice available," said the two-time Wimbledon champion as the deal was announced. "I am excited to partner with Albert Bartlett to showcase the importance of a balanced diet and an active lifestyle to communities across the UK. I hope the project inspires people to play and enjoy sport throughout their lives, at whatever level they are able." Naturally, retirement hasn't been solely about discovering new work for Murray, with the Scottish star also able to dedicate more time to his family, as well as his passion for golf. The pair, who tied the knot in 2015 after first crossing paths at the US Open a decade before, are now doting parents to four youngsters - Sophie, Edie, Teddy and Lola. But their household has just welcomed another member, with Murray taking to Instagram to reveal they'd recently brought home a new four-legged friend. Posting a snap of himself beaming alongside the flat-coated retriever, the sporting icon simply captioned it: "New addition to the family". The announcement follows Murray's heartbreaking revelation last year that the family's cherished border terrier Rusty had passed away, prompting him to share a touching tribute to the "loyal and protective" pooch on social media.

Andy Murray's new life now as tennis icon and Kim welcome new family member
Andy Murray retired from tennis last summer and has been busy with several new ventures in the past 12 months It's been just over a year since tennis legend Andy Murray bid farewell to the sport, announcing his retirement. The former British No.1 left the game last summer, having secured his place as one of the greatest players of his generation, boasting 46 titles, including two Wimbledon titles and one US Open - not to mention three Olympic medals. But don't think he's been taking it easy since hanging up his racket - he's dived head-first into several thrilling new ventures and made some major announcements post-retirement. Among these new ventures was a surprising partnership with long-time rival Novak Djokovic, where Murray took on the role of coach for the Serbian star at the Australian Open. The unexpected move sent shockwaves through the tennis world last year. However, their surprise alliance came to an end after just six months, despite reaching the semi-finals Down Under together. Murray has since been linked with new coaching roles with British stars such as Emma Raducanu and Jack Draper, but for now, his focus is elsewhere as he explores new roles outside of tennis. Andy Murray's new career roles In May, it was confirmed that the 38 year-old had embarked on a new career as a venture capitalist, becoming an associate partner at Redrice Ventures in London, a company he previously collaborated with on a co-investment in sports wear firm Castore in 2018. In his new role, Murray leads the Redrice Sports Collective, a group of athlete advisors, to scout for investment opportunities, particularly in the sports business. The former tennis champ's growing investment portfolio already boasts the luxury five-star Cromlix Hotel, which he and his wife Kim snapped up in 2013 for a reported £1.8million, while he's also put money into Game4Padel, the UK's largest operator of padel courts.

"I am excited to partner with Albert Bartlett to showcase the importance of a balanced diet and an active lifestyle to communities across the UK. I hope the project inspires people to play and enjoy sport throughout their lives, at whatever level they are able." Family addition Of course, retirement hasn't been all about finding new work for Murray, with the Scottish star also able to devote more time to his family, as well as his love of golf. The pair, who wed in 2015 after first meeting at the US Open a decade before, are now doting parents to four youngsters - Sophie, Edie, Teddy and Lola. But their brood has just expanded slightly, with Murray revealing on Instagram that they'd recently welcomed a new pooch into their home. Posting a snap of himself beaming alongside the flat-coated retriever, the tennis ace simply captioned it: "New addition to the family". This follows Murray's heartbreaking announcement last year that the family's cherished border terrier Rusty had passed away, as he penned a moving tribute to the "loyal and protective" pup on social media. "You were the most loyal and protective companion our family could have wished for," he posted. "You were so patient and gentle with the kids and we all learned so much from you. The house feels empty without you in it. "The noise you made when you wanted a plate to lick or a biscuit to chew on or when you wanted anything for that matter was infuriating at times! But today we would do anything to hear it again," he went on, adding a 'heartbroken' emoji. "Love you Ruzz," Murray concluded. "Rest easy poppet x". That devastating loss came two years after Murray and his loved ones bid farewell to their other Border Terrier, Maggie May, who passed away in 2022. The tennis champion had previously shared how his adored dogs were his "biggest supporters", saying: "Whether I win or lose, they still want to hang out with me".

Push the boat out at Newport's sailing club regatta
Of course, there were more boats about in Edwardian Britain to do the messing about in, but although like everywhere else, it has lost the host of boats that used to crowd out the Usk, the sailing club located behind the former Uskmouth Power Station, oozes "messing about in boats". (Image: NUSC) This Newport "roll-your-sleeves-up" institution is a hidden gem, that is home to seagoing adventurers in all shapes and sizes in small yachts that can take to the ever-present Usk mud. If you are curious how Newport does its messing about, you are in luck, as the Cowes Week of the Usk is coming up (August 28 to 31) when members engage in friendly racing in the mouth of the Usk and into the Bristol Channel. (Image: NUSC) It is all about the taking part – although winning is a bonus – and having fun on the river. You may not have considered sailing as something for you, but thousands of people across the UK from all walks of life, enjoy pottering about on their floating pride and joy, and occasionally sailing into the sunset for little adventures over the horizon. In a time of wellness and personal health, sailing at NUSC hits several sweet spots, which give you the benefits of being outdoors in the fresh air, physical activity, learning experience, and above all a wonderful social environment. (Image: NUSC) Sailing as a leisure activity, seen from the outside, is a bit of a puzzle. Britain tops the all-time Olympic sailing medal table with 64 medals since 1900, and Sir Ben Ainslie winning gold medal after gold medal in successive Olympic games. So there is obviously a serious competitive sport side. But then there is the cruising element – a bit like having a floating motorhome, but with less traffic jams, and more opportunity for real peace and quiet. Kay Withers, who has grown up with the club for 50 of her 59 years, said: 'NUSC is perfect for people of all sailing abilities, but especially for a person with no sailing experience. 'People sometimes join with pre-conceptions of sailing but in our club you will learn quickly that sailing as a beginner involves teamwork because there are moorings to be maintained, boats to launch and recover, general maintenance of boats and equipment, all part and parcel of sailing. 'You don't need to own a boat to sail at NUSC, it's the perfect place to join and have a go before deciding to buy your own boat,' Kay said. Growing out of a dinghy sailing club based near the Newport Docks Office below Transporter Bridge, NUSC moved to the east bank of the river in 1968. (Image: NUSC) Appropriately, it is situated next to St Julian's Pill, which used to be where the sailing pilot cutters moored up when home from guiding ships across some of the most challenging waters in the world. The original clubhouse were former construction worker's huts, but the present clubhouse building was designed and built by the members in the late 1980s. Having a lot of tradesmen in the membership helped. The clubhouse is run by members, cleaning, cooking, and playing barman themselves, as part of the payoff for keeping down the cost of membership. But the rewards that the effort of doing everything for yourself gives the bond that strengthens the enjoyment of every trip out on your boat. Putting your toe in the water is a pretty painless experience, with membership for a non boat owner less than £2 per week. If you are interested in testing the water and want to experience the NUSC Regatta, send all names and vehicle registration to Garethhale77@ stating which day you would like to visit.
