The baggy pants and loose-fitted shirts can no longer hide the fact Bec Hewitt is expecting her third baby, writes Dylan Howard..
The first signs were apparent as early as February, when Woman’s Day spotted the normally svelte Bec Hewitt with a telltale bump on a shopping trip with the kids. Hubby Lleyton was sweating it out at the Australian Open in Melbourne at the time.
Fast forward two months – and the passing of the vital first trimester – and there is no mistaking it…the bubbly young mum is clearly at least four months pregnant with her third child, and over the moon to be so.
With her mum-to-be glow on show to the world, Bec was spotted last week piling her two cherubic tots, daughter Mia, 4, and son Cruz, 17 months, into a golf cart and buzzing around the streets of her home in Nassau.
Bec looked relaxed and casual – her hair loosely tied back and a baseball cap protecting her from the hot Bahamas sun – as she happily stopped to show off her swollen belly to passers-by, while Cruz and Mia looked on excitedly.
“Bec popped up to the local shops and while sitting in her golf buggy, she took great pleasure in showing off her bump to a friend,” says an onlooker in the upmarket Old Fort Bay community Bec and Lleyton have called home since late 2008.
The former Home And Away actress has also been seen making two separate visits to the private medical clinic, The Ladies Medical Centre in Nassau, for check-ups with her obstetrician.
Her mum and dad, Darrel and Michele, were by her side when she went for a recent check-up – a 90-minute appointment from which Bec emerged with a relieved smile and a copies of her ultrasound scans in hand. Not that Bec’s a prima donna, as the staff at Sydney’s Royal North Shore Hospital, where Cruz was born, will attest.
“We see plenty of household names here and they’re not always as nice as Bec,” says one.
