Roger Federer & Wife Welcome Twin Daughters
July 24th, 2009
Tennis star Roger Federer and wife Mirka are the proud parents of twin girls, he announced on his website early Friday.
The couple welcomed Charlene Riva and Myla Rose on Thursday night in Switzerland.
“This is the greatest day of our lives,” Roger, 27, said in a statement. “Mirka, Myla and Charlene are all healthy and doing very well.”
The No. 1 ranked player in the world met Mirka nine years ago but the couple didn’t get married until April. The couple announced the pregnancy in March.
Congratulations!

2. sue | July 24th, 2009 at 4:44 pm
Wow. That is his wife? Props for him not going to traditional attractive and slim spouse route!
3. sue | July 24th, 2009 at 4:45 pm
And yes I know that she is pregs in that pic, but still……she does not look like the other wives……
4. sarah | July 24th, 2009 at 10:46 pm
actually – you’re right, she’s not a supermodel or anything close. but she’s pretty sweet-looking. And attractive. I’m so happy, for some reason I thought he was going to have a son, didn’t know they were having twins, but wow! twin girls is WAY better. Myla is a pretty name – charlene is ok. I bet they;re gorgeous

CONGRATS :)
I agree with Sue, she’s not attractive at all…actually the importance is that they’re in love,and that’s enough :)
6. sue | July 25th, 2009 at 1:59 pm
I totally agree! That is why I was so surprised! So many athletes go for the models and such; it is a nice change.
7. ar | July 25th, 2009 at 4:06 pm
hey, odds are he didn’t have to “buy” his wife, that’s awesome. They are both cute
8. Kayleigh | July 26th, 2009 at 2:10 am
He bought her off Ebay, bidding started at 99p…..however only one young men Mr Roger Federer couldn’t refrain from bidding and here she is! 99p….me says thats a bargain!
9. METOO | July 26th, 2009 at 7:51 am
Did anyone say MOOOOOO!
10. just quit it, you guys | July 26th, 2009 at 8:38 am
the girl was a swiss pro tennis player before getting injured.
and come on, she may be on the chunky side pre-pregnancy .. but hello! she is carrying TWO human beings in this picture! cut her some slack.
11. Amy | July 26th, 2009 at 11:21 am
I have one word for you all- RUDE!!!…..let’s see a picture of you all pregnant….now that would be a good laugh!!!
12. hilary | July 26th, 2009 at 1:24 pm
Congrats :)
13. Niloofar | July 26th, 2009 at 3:22 pm
Amy, you’re right…but I’ve seen her pics before her pregnancy, you know she wasn’t attractive at that time too…anyway as I told love is important, undoubtedly she looks so pretty in his eyes :)
14. METOO | July 26th, 2009 at 9:19 pm
Got Milk?
15. Wow! | July 27th, 2009 at 5:27 am
I agree with Sarah.
It’s actually refreshing to see such a big name like Federer with his wife/girlfriend looking like a regular woman (and together after 9 years!). I really think she is really sweet and she just gained weight with that twin pregnancy, which is by the way something totally normal and even healthy when it’s not extreme weight gain. Sometimes I get tired of this celebrities that have to look skinny all the time before, during and right after the pregnancy. She has this natural touch and I think he is probably happier with a real woman like she is! :-D

I’m assuming every woman on this forum is drop dead georgous. Most of you are pathetic.
17. mup | July 27th, 2009 at 8:52 am
Gold Star for Joey …… yes most of the women on this forum are drop dead gorgeous!!
18. SbK | July 27th, 2009 at 9:18 am
^^ lol, yes we are :-D
19. sue | July 27th, 2009 at 2:59 pm
LOL@ Mup!
Too funny!
20. METOO | July 27th, 2009 at 3:10 pm
Hey Joey – I bet you are short…
21. Honey | July 27th, 2009 at 4:20 pm
roger is one of my favourites, and his wife is beautiful!
22. Cindyo | July 27th, 2009 at 6:07 pm
lol @ METOO
23. Joey is my name! | July 27th, 2009 at 11:15 pm
His wife is drop dead ooogly..
24. cuca | July 28th, 2009 at 1:21 am
try being pregnant with twins, and lets see what all of YOU look like!!!
25. denise | July 28th, 2009 at 1:41 am
sheesh, you people are mean.
i have to admit, this is a rather bad picture of her.
but come on she was 8 months pregnant with twins. it´s hard to look radiant at that time.
she might not be model beautiful pre-pregnancy, but she is far from ugly.
also, the poor woman spent 4.5 hours sitting in the sun while nearly 9 months pregnant, supporting her husband during the final.
now that is a true testimant to commitment.
and more importantly she (and he for that matter) are very sweet people, who are not stuck up at all.
congrats to them on their lovely daughters. and all the best for the future of their family.
26. METOO | July 28th, 2009 at 1:50 pm
yeah, you’re mature Joey – what are you 10?
27. Joey | July 28th, 2009 at 3:27 pm
Actually I’m 28 and I’m not a simple minded judgemental fool like you.
28. METOO | July 28th, 2009 at 10:47 pm
By the way you talk Joey – I am surprised you put that sentence together correctly…I think you being short has really messed up your mind….get over it – there is nothing you can do, unless you get stilts for shoes!
29. METOO | July 28th, 2009 at 10:57 pm
Hey Joey – don’t take it too seriously – just funning with ya! I didn’t take it seriously when you called me a simple-minded fool – because I know you didn’t mean it!
30. SbK | July 29th, 2009 at 5:41 am
He isn’t exactly the most gorgeous man on Earth!!
31. El | July 29th, 2009 at 11:18 am
What’s with all this ugly/pretty talk. No one can say for
sure what is the standard way to look. And have you
ever seen the average model without makeup. These
are two, classy people who know HOW TO REALLY live
and love and don’t have time for any of that vapid foolishness. This is the real reason most people
cannot find love and are not happy. Go for the person.
It works.
And P.S. Roger and his wife don’t care what anyone thinks
about them.

35. eyesofpearls | July 30th, 2009 at 6:51 pm
Federer is a clever man – he chose the right woman who loves him and supports him. He doesn’t need some blond, silicone breasted Baywatch gold digger….he is European – he knows the true values of a woman. METOO – what a pathetic morone of a person you are!
36. METOO | July 31st, 2009 at 12:47 am
eyesofpearls – boy, aren’t we full of ourselves!
37. METOO | July 31st, 2009 at 12:49 am
and its spelled moron – NOT morone! You must be clever too!
