Jamie Murray’s Wild Ride: Divorce, Dating Apps, and Brotherly Drama
In the world of professional tennis, the Murray brothers have always been a fascinating duo. While Andy Murray, now retired, often hogged the spotlight with his singles championships, his older brother Jamie Murray carved out an incredible career for himself as a doubles specialist. But it seems Jamie’s life off the court is just as eventful as his matches. The latest news? He’s divorced, back on the dating scene, and apparently using his more famous brother to score points on a celebrity dating app. You can’t make this stuff up.
What’s the Latest with Jamie Murray?
Jamie Murray, the 39-year-old seven-time Grand Slam doubles champion, has officially ended his 15-year marriage to Alejandra Gutierrez. The couple, who share a three-year-old daughter, separated last year, and their divorce was finalized in August 2025. It’s a sad end to a long relationship that began back in 2008. They even got married at a luxury hotel now owned by Andy and his wife, Kim. Talk about keeping it in the family.
A spokesperson for Jamie released a very standard, very PR-friendly statement, calling it an “extremely difficult time” and asking for privacy. Fair enough. Divorce is tough, especially when there’s a child involved. But here’s where the story takes a turn for the bizarre.
Is Murray Back on the Market?
Barely a month after the ink dried on the divorce papers, Jamie Murray has apparently wasted no time getting back out there. According to reports, he’s joined Raya, the exclusive dating app for celebrities and the well-connected. And what picture is he using to entice potential dates? A snap of himself playing tennis alongside his brother, Andy.
Let’s pause here. Using a picture with your more famous sibling on a dating app is a choice. A bold choice. His profile reportedly describes him as an athlete who “travels the world playing tennis,” which is all true. But come on, Jamie. You’re a seven-time Grand Slam champion and a former world No. 1 in doubles. That’s more than enough to stand on your own. It feels a bit like saying, “Hey, I’m a rockstar… and also, I know The Beatles.” It’s just a little desperate, and frankly, hilarious.
A family friend chimed in, saying the situation is “really sad,” but that Jamie is making moves to meet someone new. Signing up for dating sites is one thing, but using your retired brother as bait? That’s next-level sibling dynamics right there.
Murray vs. Murray: The Sibling Rivalry
This whole episode just adds another layer to the complex relationship between the Murray brothers. While Jamie has an impressive trophy cabinet of his own, he’s always lived somewhat in Andy’s shadow. This dating app stunt, whether intentional or not, just highlights that dynamic.
It also brings back memories of their most infamous public spat back in 2008. During a Davis Cup tie, Andy pulled out of a match to avoid aggravating a knee injury, leaving Jamie to play with a different partner. They lost. Jamie was furious and publicly criticized his brother, saying he could have “pushed himself” to play. Andy fired back, pointing out that Jamie didn’t know what it was like to play multiple five-set matches on clay. The brothers reportedly didn’t speak for two weeks.
They eventually patched things up and have maintained a close relationship, but you have to wonder if there’s still a bit of that old rivalry simmering beneath the surface. Andy has the singles glory, but Jamie has more Grand Slam doubles titles. Now, it seems, Andy has the better dating profile pic. The competition never truly ends, does it?
It’s a wild chapter in the life of Jamie Murray. From the end of a marriage to a questionable dating app strategy, he’s certainly keeping things interesting. While we wish him the best in navigating this difficult time, we also can’t help but chuckle at the absurdity of it all. Good luck on Raya, Jamie. Maybe try a solo profile picture next time? Your own impressive career is more than enough of a selling point.
