Bec Cartwright was just 15 years old when she got her big break playing Hayley Smith Lawson on Home and Away and within weeks she was a household name.
For the next seven years she was on the showโs biggest stars before giving it all up to be a wife and mother.
Now raising three kids with her husband Lleyton Hewitt, Bec has never been happier, as she told The Weekly last month.
โThere I was, working on Home and Away. I wasnโt looking for love. But you canโt plan these things and I look at my life and realise I couldnโt be more fortunate.โ
