Roger Federer Shows Off Twins Myla and Charlene

It’s Myla Rose and Charlene Riva Federer! Roger Federer and wife Mirka introduce their 2-week-old twins via a photo — taken by grandpa! — posted on Roger’s Facebook page this morning.

The tennis ace, who celebrates his 28th birthday tomorrow, writes,

“Mirka, Myla and Charlene are all doing really well. The baby girls are doing new things every day and are a lot of fun. … Here is a family picture that my dad took. He thinks he’s becoming a professional photographer. It was very funny as both girls had the hiccups while we were trying to take a decent picture. The girls and mom are doing great. Thanks for all your warm wishes.”

Awww. How sweet. I love seeing pictures where the parents are gazing lovingly at their babies. I love that they kept the secret that they were having twins.

Those girls are so tiny and sweet!

p.s Roger is really hairy.

- Ashley on August 7th, 2009

I love the fact that they are both staring at the twin they aren’t holding, almost like they don’t want to miss out on what the other one is doing, so sweet!

- Bumbles on August 7th, 2009

i love the way the one twin is looking at the camera, so cute!

- Sophie on August 7th, 2009

Awwww, so sweet! Beautiful family, I love how each parent is looking at the other twin, kind of like they want to be involved in both whether they’re being held or just watched. Congrats to them on their lovely girls!!! Side not, does anyone know, are the girls identical or fraternal? I can’t tell from the way they’re positioned.

PS Great pic, grandpa!

I love these girls. They’re so cute and tiny.

- Lynn on August 7th, 2009

How did I totally miss that they were born? AND that they had twins? Did anyone know or am I the only one who is totally out of the loop?

- Carolyn on August 7th, 2009

Oh, so sweet!
But didn’t he say that the baby they were expecting was a boy? I’m confused!

- Paula on August 7th, 2009

That is such a sweet photo, even sweeter cuz granda took it. I love Roger, so humble and down to earth. He looks so in love with all his girls.

- Daisy on August 7th, 2009

Aw. Lovely family picture. Those baby girls are beautiful.

Roger is so cute.

Congratulations on the birth of your beautiful twin girls. As South Africans, we are very proud of your family. Hope to see you all in South Africa soon. Best wishes to all and enjoy your girls.

It’s cute. I think the twin looks like the opposite of the parent holding them, like the twin that Mirka is holding looks like Roger + the twin that Roger is holding looks like Mirka, very cute.

- Mia on August 7th, 2009

They’re so tiny and cute! Congrats to Roger and Charlene again.

- FC on August 7th, 2009

Beautiful babies. I hope we have a chance to see more pictures of these 2 beauties while they a growing.
And sure they’ll have a gorgeous hair like mommy and daddy

- ElenaS on August 7th, 2009

Myla is a beautiful name.

- eilish on August 7th, 2009

In Switzerland parents must have names picked out before the baby is born – what beautiful names they chose.

- Cece on August 7th, 2009

Thanks for sharing this beautiful moment…. it’s pure love!

- Startulle on August 7th, 2009

aww! They are so beautiful!

- Jane on August 7th, 2009

Paula- I don’t think he ever actually confirmed that. It was just a rumor going around and Roger was smart and didn’t confirm or deny.

Anyway, I think the girls might just be identical!

- CelebBabyLover on August 8th, 2009

they are beautiful! I love when baby girls wear white. Mirka looks great and not like a tired new mom at all. Her nails and hair are perfectly done. I hope to see more pic of this beautiful family!!

- Leonor on August 8th, 2009

The one that mom is holding looks so cross lol. Cute family.

- Alex on August 8th, 2009

Beautiful girls! Blahoželám Mirka a Roger! Many greetings from Slovakia!

- Petraela on August 8th, 2009

Alex- I think she’s thinking, “Get that weird, flashing box out of my face!” LOL! Anyway, I like the dress, too! The one that the twin Roger is holding is wearing reminds me a bit of the one Vivienne Jolie-Pitt wore last year in her when she and Knox made their public debut in PEOPLE (and HELLO and New Idea in the U.K. and Australia respectively)!

- CelebBabyLover on August 9th, 2009

His wife looks like Jennifer Aniston in this picture. His little ones are adorable!

- Jess on August 9th, 2009

FC – Charlene is 1 of the babies, Mirka is Roger’s wife

- Katie on August 9th, 2009

Very interesting that they would choose the very popular Filipino name Myla. I have a cousin with that name and know many others named that but never heard of any that weren’t Filipino.

- TV on August 9th, 2009

Aw, such a lovely family picture!

- eternalcanadian on August 10th, 2009

I can’t tell who these sweeties look like but they are so cute! Does anyone know if they are identical? They are blessed twiced!

- Kris on August 12th, 2009

Congrats to such a beautiful family!
From your number 1 fan!

- Alicia on September 9th, 2009

As an avid tennis fan and player, I am so proud of this man. How he conducts himself,on & off the court, his charitable nature, and self assuredness, yet not full of himsef. Good luck to him and his beautiful family. May he reign a few more years at #1.(No offense to Pete who will always be right there with Roger as my favorite number 1′s).
