Bec and Lleyton living apart

The couple will this year face their toughest test as Lleyton continues to tour the world and Bec stays home with the children.

Lleyton Hewitt is famous for his on-court battles but now he’s fighting another, far more furious battle a lot closer to home. Relations are said to be strained between the Aussie tennis champ and his wife of five years, Bec Hewitt, who is adamant they return here to live following this year’s Australian Open.

After years of supporting Lleyton, 29, on the international circuit, former Home And Away star Bec, 27, wants to be closer to her family and is determined to relocate from their Bahamas base to the family’s home in Sydney. And for now, at least, it seems she’s the one who has the advantage.

“Whenever Lleyton has played overseas, Bec has been there to support him, but that’s over for now – he’ll be battling on alone at least for the next six months,” says a tennis source, revealing Bec’s wish to settle into the Hewitts’ six-bedroom property at Kenthurst in northern Sydney, bought for $3 million in 2006.

With oldest child Mia, 5, about to start her first year of school, Bec has begun planning the move. According to friends, the natural homebody can’t wait to pack her passport away and start the next chapter of her life.

“Staying put is a big win for Bec because it means having stability for herself and her children,” says the source. “She is a nester, someone who dreams of waking up in the same bed every day of the week, eating breakfast at the same table, and for her kids to be surrounded by familiar toys and relatives who love them.”

Fears for skinny Kate Middleton

Fears for skinny Kate Middleton

Royals expert James Whitaker says the palace is concerned about Katie’s dramatic weight loss as the big day nears.

While the daring see-through panel that allowed guests a good look at her cleavage may have turned heads, it was Kate Middleton’s whippet-thin figure that caused the biggest stir at a recent wedding.

The princess-in-waiting revealed an even slimmer silhouette than usual when she attended the nuptials of Harry Aubrey-Fletcher and Louise Stourton at St Andrew’s Church in Aldborough on January 8.

Harry is one of Prince William’s oldest friends, and the bride is from one of the UK’s most aristocratic families, but Kate well and truly stole their thunder as observers noted her dramatic weight loss.

Panic buttons are yet to be pressed, but senior courtiers at Buckingham Palace tell Woman’s Day they are anxious about how many kilos Kate, 29, has shed in the short time since the announcement of her engagement to William in November.

One keen palace observer notes, “Catherine has got to be careful. She is beginning to look angular with clothes just hanging on her.”
