Hewitts expecting their third child in December

Melbourne, May 24 (ANI): Former world No.1 Australian tennis star Lleyton Hewitt and his wife Bec have confirmed to OK! magazine that they are expecting their third child.

The baby is due in December, and the couple admitted the pregnancy took them by surprise.

"We were thinking we'd wait until Lleyton retires (from professional tennis) because traveling with two is plenty. It's a happy surprise though," The Herald Sun quoted Bec, as saying.

"It wasn't fully planned, but it's fantastic. We were always going to have a third at some stage so it was exciting news," Lleyton, who is currently ranked 33rd in the world, added.

The couple already has two children Mia, 4, and Cruz, 17 months. (ANI)
