She and Murray reportedly met at a party during the US Open in 2005, when they were still teenagers.
The lovebirds dated quietly for a year before Murray made the relationship public in San Jose, California, when he headed courtside to kiss Sears after winning his first ATP title to become No 1 in the UK.
The two eventually got married in 2015 – a decade after they first met.

In 2013, the couple refurbished a Victorian mansion in Perthshire, Scotland, and reopened the property as a 15-bedroom five-star hotel. The Cromlix Hotel was renovated according to the couple’s preferences, including a chapel where the couple later tied the knot, per People.
The hotel has another special place in the Murray family history – the tennis star’s grandparents celebrated their silver wedding anniversary there the same year the hotel was first converted in 1982, according to the property’s official website. Before the Murrays converted the place, it was a four-star country house hotel and, before that, a family home.
