The star couple spend some much needed family time with their daughter Mia in Las Vegas.
Lleyton and Bec Hewitt have finally put aside the stresses of life on the international tennis circuit — taking time out from their busy schedule for some family time in Las Vegas.
Clearly grateful for the chance to spend time together after Lleyton’s tournaments overseas, the couple seemed relaxed and happy as they lavished affection on daughter Mia in between Lleyton’s practice sessions for the Las Vegas Open.
After a slew of disappointing losses, 27-year-old Lleyton has been fighting hard to work his way back up the rankings, and while he admits it can sometimes be hard juggling work and home life, he believes that fatherhood helps take his mind off the pressures of his career.
Mia eases stress
“Right at the start, obviously, Mia was the number one priority in life, and that’s always going to be the case for anyone that has a young child,” he said during a radio interview.
“It’s fantastic. So enjoyable — even to come off the tennis court and Mia comes running up to you, just wanting to play. Tennis doesn’t matter for her whatsoever, whatever happened out on the match court.”
