Bec Hewitt and husband Lleyton look cheerful as they head home for Christmas

Bec Hewitt, 36, starred on Home and Away, and her husband Lleyton, 38, is an international tennis champion. 

But on Tuesday, the couple and their three children Mia, 14, Cruz, 11, and Ava, 9, looked like any other family on the move as they made their way back to their Melbourne home. 

Spotted at Adelaide Airport, Bec and Lleyton appeared to be in good spirits after visiting Lleyton’s parents in the South Australian capital.

Home for the holidays! Bec, 36, and Lleyton Hewitt, 38, looked cheerful as they escorted their children Mia, 14, Cruz, 10, and Ava, 8, through Adelaide Airport en route to Melbourne on Tuesday 

Despite most families feeling the Christmas rush, Bec and Lleyton looked at ease as they escorted their three children Ava, Cruz and Mia, through the terminal. 

Despite Bec and Lleyton’s cheery disposition, their children looked somewhat less impressed about the one hour and 15 minute flight the were about to endure.  

Sports champion Lleyton appeared relaxed as he spoke to the employees at the check-in desk, with a number of the flight crew wearing Santa suits.

Lleyton previously said the family was based in the Bahamas due to its proximity to the United States.

‘I obviously travel a lot, but the reason we decided to come here was because we wanted to have a base outside of Europe and close to the U.S.,’ he said. 

In July, the family returned to the Bahamas for a holiday, with Bec sharing a photo to Instagram of her daughter Ava swimming at the beach.
