“My life is perfect like that. I’ve always been in love with the same girlfriend, from the same wife, running the family and protecting them from the press,” Federer further said. 

Speaking about Mirka keeping a low profile for many years, Federer said, “She hasn’t had an interview for 12 to 15 years, so people don’t know what she does.“

It is worth noting that Mirka and Roger met for the first time during the Summer Olympics in 2000, as they were both representing Switzerland. Since then, their romantic relationship began, and after dating for almost 8 years, they got married in 2009. Currently, they have four children; 2 sets of identical twins.
