Two-time Grand Slam winner and former world no. 1, Lleyton Hewitt, may be struggling with his hip injury now, but he is not devoid of happiness. The Australian tennis star and his wife, former Australian actress, Bec Cartwright, have become parents of a baby boy. The couple also has a daughter Mia Rebecca who was born in November 2005. Hewitt and Cartwright recently announced on Tuesday in their website that the new-born baby, Cruz, was born on December 11 in Sydney.

The Canadian Press reported:

Hewitt and former actress Bec Cartwright announced on their website Tuesday that Cruz was born in Sydney on Dec. 11. “All are doing well and are very excited about the new addition to the family,” they wrote. It is the second child for the Australian pair following the birth of daughter Mia Rebecca in November 2005.

Lleyton Hewitt’s recent form on the court is not so good. In fact, the winner of 2001 US Open and 2002 Wimbledon is going through a tough time on the court as he is struggling with injury. Still, you can guess his happiness of becoming father.
