Jamie Murray, the accomplished British tennis player and elder brother of Sir Andy Murray, has officially divorced his wife of 15 years, Alejandra Gutierrez, marking the end of a partnership that began back in 2008. The news, confirmed by both family friends and a spokesperson for Murray, comes after the couple separated in 2024 and were granted a divorce on August 22, 2025. The pair share a three-year-old daughter, Ava, and are said to be working hard to keep the process as amicable as possible for the sake of their family, according to The Sun and Daily Mail.
The split has been described by those close to the couple as a "really sad situation." A family friend shared with The Sun, "They’re working hard to make it as amicable as possible between them at this stage. Jamie’s started to make moves towards meeting someone new by signing up to dating sites." The sentiment was echoed by Jamie's spokesperson, who told The Sun, "Jamie and Alejandra Murray divorced on August 22, 2025, having separated the previous year. As with any divorce, this is an extremely difficult time for Jamie and Alejandra and they would appreciate that their privacy is respected whilst they navigate their future and protect their family."
Jamie Murray, 39, is a renowned doubles specialist with seven Grand Slam titles under his belt, including the Wimbledon mixed doubles crowns in 2007 (with Jelena Jankovic) and 2017 (with Martina Hingis), as reported by The Sun. Despite often being in the shadow of his younger brother Andy, Jamie has forged a successful career in his own right, even reaching world number one in doubles. His achievements, while sometimes overlooked in comparison to Andy’s singles success, have made him a respected figure on the international tennis circuit.
The story of Jamie and Alejandra began in London in 2008, where Alejandra, originally from Colombia, was studying business. The couple quickly formed a bond and married two years later in 2010. Their wedding was a private affair, held at Cromlix House near Jamie’s hometown of Dunblane, Scotland, with Andy Murray serving as best man. According to Daily Mail, Andy had even organized Jamie’s stag do in London a month prior to the ceremony. Family and friends gathered to celebrate what was then a promising new chapter in both their lives.
The couple’s daughter, Ava, was born in 2022, bringing a new sense of joy and responsibility to their lives. However, as the years went by, the strains of professional sports and the demands of family life began to take their toll. By 2024, the couple had separated, and the legal process of divorce followed the next year. Throughout the ordeal, both Jamie and Alejandra have sought to prioritize their daughter’s well-being and maintain a respectful relationship.
With the divorce now finalized, Jamie Murray has taken steps toward rebuilding his personal life. According to both The Sun and Daily Mail, he has joined the celebrity dating app Raya, a platform known for its exclusive clientele of athletes, artists, and public figures. Jamie’s profile reportedly features a photo of him playing tennis alongside his brother Andy, and describes himself as an athlete who “travels the world playing tennis.” This new chapter signals Jamie’s intent to move forward, though those close to him acknowledge the difficulty of the transition.
The Murray brothers have long shared a close bond, both on and off the tennis court. Images from the past show Jamie and Alejandra standing beside Andy and his wife Kim Sears at their wedding in 2010, as well as the brothers supporting each other at major tournaments. Despite the challenges of recent years, including Andy’s retirement from professional tennis, their familial connection remains strong. Jamie’s decision to use a photo with Andy on his dating profile is a subtle nod to this enduring relationship.
This summer marked Jamie’s return to Wimbledon for the first time since Andy’s retirement. The occasion, though bittersweet, underscored Jamie’s ongoing commitment to the sport. Unfortunately, his campaign ended in the first round of both the men’s and mixed doubles competitions. Still, Jamie remains optimistic about his career. Reflecting on his future, he told Daily Mail, “I always had a mental block about playing past 40 but I’m just about there now with my next birthday in February and I still want to play next year for sure, so I guess I’ll be going into my forties. I’m still enjoying travelling and competing. My ranking is good enough to play the top events and you’re a long-time retired.”
He continued, “I haven’t had any real injuries or surgeries or anything like that. My body still feels pretty good. I haven’t played particularly well in the last couple of years but I’m starting to get my act together now. I still think I can do well at these big events. I was struggling with my serve which is the most important shot in the game but I definitely have more confidence with it just now.” Jamie’s determination to continue competing, even as he approaches his 40th birthday, is a testament to his resilience and love for the game.
Jamie’s journey has often unfolded in the public eye, given the prominence of the Murray family in British sport. Andy, now 38 and married to Kim Sears for ten years, has been a fixture in the tennis world, but Jamie’s own achievements have quietly amassed a legacy of their own. The brothers’ shared experiences—from childhood training in Dunblane to the heights of international competition—have shaped their identities both as athletes and as individuals.
While the end of Jamie’s marriage to Alejandra marks a significant personal shift, it also highlights the complexities faced by professional athletes balancing family, career, and public scrutiny. The couple’s efforts to keep proceedings amicable, and to focus on the well-being of their daughter, reflect a desire to move forward with dignity. As Jamie steps into this new phase—continuing his tennis career and exploring new relationships—he does so with the support of family and a determination to keep competing at the highest level.
For fans and observers alike, Jamie Murray’s story is a reminder that life’s transitions, no matter how public or private, are rarely straightforward. Yet, as he looks to the future—both on and off the court—there’s a sense that new beginnings may offer their own kind of victory.
