Watch: Teenage Bec Hewitt getting ready for her first Logies
Former tennis star Lleyton Hewitt’s wife Bec was spotted grocery shopping with their 9-year-old daughter Ava in Melbourne on Sunday morning as Victoria prepared to shut its borders. The pair were buying up groceries including toilet paper, cereal and pet food.
