No, his parents have been separated since he was 9 years old, though they didn't divorce until 2005 when he was 18. In the past Murray has spoken about the problems of growing up with parents who were on bad terms, which he thinks may have made him more aggressive, and how it was only when he began his relationship with long-term girlfriend Kim Sears that he got real stability in his life. There was always the difficulty of seeming to prefer one parent over the other, eg wanting to spend more time with one than the other.

Murray's parents do sometimes attend his matches together and were both seen at his 2012 Wimbledon final match against Roger Federer. However, it is clearly his mother, Judy, who has been the greater influence on him, as she has always pushed him (and his brother, also a successful tennis player) to excel.
