Roger Federer and his wife, Mirka, have been blessed with four children. Their journey into parenthood began with the arrival of their first set of twins, daughters Myla Rose and Charlene, born in July 2009. Five years later, their family expanded once again with the birth of twin sons Leo and Lenny in 2014.
A remarkable aspect of the Federer household is the shared passion for tennis among all four children. Federer revealed in a 2023 interview that his kids have developed a genuine love for the sport. Initially, the girls were hesitant, but as they improved, their enjoyment grew, now even engaging in competitive play. Their journey in tennis sees Myla Rose and Charlene training diligently at John McEnroe’s academy in East Hampton, while Leo and Lenny hone their skills at Rafael Nadal’s academy in Mallorca.
Federer expressed pride in his children’s dedication, noting, “All four kids love it.” However, he also voiced concerns about the demanding schedule, particularly for his sons. With their tennis commitments consuming four days a week, Federer worries about the limited time left for them to explore other interests and activities.
Despite the packed schedule, the Federer family remains united in their support for each other’s pursuits, both on and off the court. As they navigate the challenges and joys of parenthood, Roger and Mirka Federer continue to nurture their children’s talents while ensuring a balanced approach to their overall development.
