As tennis champ Lleyton Hewitt prepares to quit while he’s on top, his long-suffering wife Bec will finally see an end to the constant globe-trotting and the strain it’s placed on their family life.
With Bec Hewitt sporting the glow of pregnancy and her tennis ace husband Lleyton in winning form, the one source of friction that’s plagued their marriage is set to end.
Now Lleyton’s tennis career is in its final stages and the couple’s eldest child Mia is about to start school, friends say Bec will finally get her wish and return home to Australia.
Bec has been a doting partner since she and Lleyton became engaged in 2005, and a fixture on the professional tennis circuit as she endures its relentless touring.
And while Lleyton was being admired for his endurance and tenacity on court, Bec was slogging away as his support crew while raising their two children on the road.
But her unbridled support has always been on one condition – that when Lleyton’s career on court winds up, she finally gets to go home.
Bec proclaimed last year that she and Lleyton would “wait until we’re finished travelling” before they had another child. Now, confirmation of their surprise third pregnancy has changed everything.
