It means all top four players in the men's game are fathers with Murray now joining Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Stan Wawrinka.
The No.2-ranked Murray said before the Australian Open he would withdraw from the tournament and fly home if Sears went into labour.
Murray's next competitive games are due to be March 4-6 at the start of Britain's Davis Cup defense against Japan in the central English city of Birmingham.
