Lleyton Hewitt‘s reunion with Roger Federer appears to have deepened into a genuine friendship – but insiders suggest wife Bec Hewitt isn’t entirely thrilled about how much time it’s taking up. The pair have been spending more time together both on and off the tennis court, with their renewed connection coinciding with growing speculation that Lleyton’s son Cruz is dating one of Roger’s twin daughters, Myla. Why Bec is reportedly feeling sidelined According to insiders, what began as a natural reconnection between two tennis greats has become a bigger presence in the Hewitt household than Bec expected. “Bec is over it. She understands why Lleyton feels the need to be close to them, especially with Cruz’s career taking off, but it’s becoming a bit much,” a source tells Woman’s Day. “Roger and his family come up in conversation constantly.” Lleyton and Roger crossed paths for years on the same circuit but were reportedly never particularly close during their playing days, which is partly why his current enthusiasm has been noticed by those around him. With talk that Cruz could eventually base himself in Switzerland, where Roger and his family live, it’s claimed Lleyton has been keen to strengthen the Hewitt-Federer connection. “Lleyton seems determined to build a proper friendship with the Federers,” the insider adds. “Bec is just wondering if he plans to come home anytime soon!” Cruz Hewitt and Myla Federer’s romance rumours The timing lines up with months of growing speculation about Cruz and Myla, who were spotted looking close at the US Open, Wimbledon and the Australian Open earlier this year. Cruz has known both Myla and her twin sister Charlene since childhood, when the families travelled the tennis circuit together.
