Tennis supremo Roger Federer admits battling to keep twin daughters a secret

SPL109221_002

Tennis ace Roger Federer has revealed that it was a “battle” to keep the news that he and wife Mirka were expecting twins a secret.

Federer, 27, and wife Mirka recently became parents for the first time last month, when their daughters Myla Rose and Charlene Riva were born.

The couple kept the news that they were expecting twins a secret because of medical advice, but Federer admitted that he had almost let it slip a few times.

“I really had to battle with myself,” he said.

“I had a couple of interviews where I said ‘babies’, and I thought: ‘Is that already giving it away?’”

Federer also revealed that his wife is very hands-on with their two baby daughters.

“Mirka doesn’t mind getting up in the night,” he said.

“She doesn’t mind feeding the babies at whatever time, changing the nappies. If she can’t do it, she feels as if she’s missing out on something.”
