Former Adelaide residents Bec and Lleyton Hewitt sit with English Royals at Wimbledon men’s finals

The loved-up power couple, who once called Adelaide’s western suburbs home, were spotted rubbing shoulders with A-list celebs in the Royal Box. See all the pictures.

Former West Lakes resident Bec Hewitt has been rubbing shoulders with English royalty, having scored one of the best seats at Wimbledon on Sunday.

Alongside her former tennis-pro husband, Lleyton Hewitt, the Australian actor was sitting right behind Prince William and Kate Middleton — and their children Prince George and Princess Charlotte — in the A-list Royal Box.

The singer and her husband of 20 years were even sitting in front of Vogue editor Anna Wintour and Australian A-list actor Nicole Kidman.

The Australian tennis royalty couple were watching Jannik Sinner of Italy and Carlos Alcaraz of Spain in the men’s singles final match of the Wimbledon Tennis Championships in London.

Bec was wearing a red dress and sporting a Miu Miu bag.

Irish actors, Paul Mescal, known for his role in television series Normal People and movie The Gladiator II, and Andrew Scott, known for his role in television series Fleabag were also in attendance in the box, sitting behind Bec.

Hollywood A-lister Matthew McConaughey made a quick cameo during the riveting matching which saw Sinner beat out Alcaraz.

The Hewitts are still West Lakes most famous former residents, despite having off-loaded their property at 29 Martin Court back in 2014.

At the time, it was reported the tennis ace sold the waterfront mansion for $2.2 million, after having bought it in 2003 for $3.2 million.

It had been on the market for five years when it was purchased by businessman Emmanouel Pishas.

Surprisingly, there is no tennis court at the property.
