Celebrity Lleyton Hewitt’s newly inaugurated tennis hall has paid tribute to his wife Bec for keeping their young family together as they ‘traveled the world’ in a life of musical homes.
“Bec has traveled the world with us and it’s a grind, and especially with three young children we’ve had to move our base and settle overseas. And she’s done it all with grace and elegance,” Hewitt told attendees for the Sport Australia Hall of Fame Induction and Awards.

“You have been my rock all along, and without you I certainly wouldn’t have been able to continue my career and play 20 Australian Opens. So I am forever grateful and I love you so much. Thank you.”
He’s also not kidding about the fact that he has multiple houses along the way. The family has been based in three states in Australia alone since the pandemic – the Gold Coast in Queensland, Melbourne in Victoria and the eastern suburbs of Sydney in New South Wales – let alone the homes they have lived in around the world, including Nassau in the Bahamas.

Their latest property deal was the sale of a luxury beach house they bought to get closer to their son Cruz’s training program at the KDV Tennis Academy on Queensland’s Gold Coast.
They gave a $200,000 discount on the asking price for the property that would sell for $4.9 million, but still made almost $600,000 considering they paid $4.305 million for it.
Coastal agent Ed Cherry, who sold the beach house to the Hewitts, said the famous couple had only stayed there three or four times since they picked it up.
“They bought it because of Bec’s eye for architecture and their son Cruz’s tennis commitments at one point on the Gold Coast,” Mr Cherry said. “I bumped into Lleyton once or twice in the Tarte cafe in Burleigh and he loved the village feel of the area.”
The Gold Coast home they sold for $4.9 million in January this year.
The Palms was the most viewed home in the country when it came on the market.
The Hewitts had already moved on when the transaction took place early this year, having bought their Glenhaven stunner, renovated and redesigned by Three Birds Renovations – a company run by a trio of friends Erin Cayless, Lana Taylor and Bonnie Hindmarsh, who are all wives of former Parramatta Eels stars – Nathan Cayless, Jason Taylor and Nathan Hindmarsh.
Speaking during the redesign, Ms Hindmarsh said: “This house will really be me. It will be exactly how I want to live and how I want my family to live for the next ten years.”

The Hewitts reportedly paid $10.3 million for the sprawling home in 2021, which was redesigned resort-style with six bedrooms and plenty of space for the growing family.
It may even have been a cash deal, as the Hewitts had sold their beautiful Toorak home in Melbourne that same year for $15.2 million, a sum that undoubtedly paved the way for their current homes.
The Toorak house was sold by the Hewitts in 2021 for a whopping $15.2 million.
He has also owned other properties, including Sydney’s Palm Beach, and grew up in West Lakes in a house with a tennis court that his parents have since put up for sale.
During the Hall of Fame ceremony, Mr Hewitt also paid tribute to his “beautiful children” – Mia, Cruz and Ava – for making it all “incredibly special”.
The Australian Davis Cup captain, who played his last singles match at the Australian Open in 2016, is currently teaming up with his teenage son Cruz in the New South Wales Open.
