Hewitt Angry Over ’lies’ About His WifeAustralian tennis star Lleyton Hewitt has lashed out at the media over the amount of coverage given to his soap-star wife Bec and their young daughter. "We are on the front cover of a certain level of magazine every week," Hewitt told The Times newspaper. "The last story was Becs Breakdown, full of lies and made-up quotes, but then a lot of people believe it. "Its hard to deal with it all, which is why I dont like having to leave them alone. "Whatever people might think, Im really a shy, down-to-earth lad who just likes being with my mates and whose favourite way of spending a weekend is a family barbecue." Hewitts outburst comes amid reports Bec Hewitt was spotted leaving the Nine Networks Sydney studios, sparking speculation her husband could be one of the first celebrities profiled in the new series of This Is Your Life. While he objects to being in the spotlight, Hewitt says he does admire the amount of support he receives from tennis fans and hopes their enthusiasm will encourage more people to play the sport. "Australia is such a wonderful place to grow up, with a great lifestyle, but there are so many choices," he said. "Kids see Aussie Rules footballers in the papers and television every day. Its not the same with tennis. Its about trying to persuade them to play our sport." AAP Tag CloudExternal InformationAdditional InformationWatch What You Eat, if You Dare...Lily Allen pregnant...
