Bec Hewitt: Why I don’t call Australia home

Bec Hewitt: Why I don't call Australia home

The mum-of-three opens up about Lleyton and life in paradise, in a candid interview.

Gorgeous mum-of-three Bec Hewitt has no plans to bring her brood back to Australia, insisting she’s happy raising her young family in a gated community for the rich and famous in the Bahamas, while Lleyton tries to reignite his tennis career.

“It is as beautiful as people imagine,” 29-year-old Bec reveals in the June issue of The Australian Women’s Weekly. “Even after four years, the colour of the water still takes my breath away. Having the beach and being outdoors really suits our family. The kids can have dinner on the beach.”

Famous neighbours in their “tight-knit community” include Aussie golf champ Adam Scott and Latina pop star Shakira, but down-to-earth Bec regularly hosts old school-mates at her mansion in Old Fort Bay.

She confesses to being fixated with keeping her $4 million house sparkling clean, to the point where it’s an obsession. “I’m definitely obsessive- compulsive,” she says. “Oh, good golly, any kind of cleaning, bed making. It’s the way I do things. I do that repetition thing. If I’m not sure that I’ve done it well, I’ll do it again. Though having kids has really helped to break that.”
