Fresh photos of Lleyton and Bec Hewitt’s children might leave you feeling old because they aren’t babies anymore.

Lleyton, Bec and their three kids, Mia, Cruz and Ava, were spotted at Sydney airport jetting off to celebrate the holidays, and the children are officially teenagers.

Mia, 17, was rocking jeans, which is a choice when you’re about to be squashed onto a plane; Ava, 13, wore those oversized overalls that Gen Zers have decided to love and Cruz, 15, kept it casual in an oversized jumper and baggy shorts.

Bec and Lleyton kept it casual too, stuck to T-shirts and casual pants, and the blonde family looked great.

For Millennials, Bec and Lleyton are one of those couples that defined the early 2000s and became Australia’s version of Victoria and David Beckham.

The pair started dating in 2005.

Back then, Lleyton was one of Australia’s most talented tennis players, and Bec was the rising star from Home and Away that was fresh off winning the 2004 season of Dancing with the Stars and was also giving the whole pop star thing a crack with her 2003 album Bec Cartwright.

Both were two of the most talked about stars of the time, and then they started dating.

They got engaged after only six weeks of dating, got married in 2005 and announced they were expecting their first daughter, Mia, all in the same year.

The excitement around their relationship was like a circus and Bec went from actor to WAG and was spotted supporting Lleyton at his games.

Her fashion became half the fun of watching the Tennis.

She embraced mid-2000s fashion with vigour and was often wearing trucker hats, tank tops and oversized sunglasses.

Once she had Mia, their baby was often with her as they cheered Lleyton on courtside, and Australia couldn’t get enough of it.

The couple also used to be pretty public and turn up at iconic events like The Melbourne Cup and The Logies.

Bec was always taking fashion risks, like wearing pedal pushers for formal events and trying different floral prints.

These days, the couple are very low-key and private and likely busy raising their three children, but in 2022, when Hewitt was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame, the Grand Slam winner quickly praised his wife for all her support.

“I’m so fortunate to have you, Bec. You are the most hands-on mum ever and the best wife and have always supported me with everything. I’m so proud of the three kids and how they’ve grown up, and so much of that is due to you,” he said.
