Federer Becomes a Father!!!!


"I have some exciting news to share with you," is how Roger Federer broke the much anticipated news announcing last night that he and wife, Mirka Vavrinac, had become "proud parents of twin girls!" The girls were born in Switzerland on July 23rd and were named Myla Rose and Charlene Riva. Federer seemed very excited about becoming a father saying on his website, "This is the greatest day of our lives. Mirka, Myla and Charlene are all healthy and doing very well." Roger and Mirka met at the 2000 Sydney Olympics and were married in March of this year. They had kept almost all of the details of the pregnancy secret.
