"Rest in love": All Blacks legend and Dancing with the Stars winner dies at 55

<p>The sports and entertainment communities are mourning the loss of former All Blacks hooker and <em>Dancing with the Stars</em> winner Norm Hewitt, who has passed away at the age of 55.</p> <p>Hewitt, a beloved figure both on and off the rugby field, succumbed to a lengthy battle with motor neurone disease, as confirmed by his family in a heartfelt statement.</p> <p>"Although rugby dominated his early life, he established a thriving human relations consultancy after retirement, and his services were much in demand both nationally and internationally," his family shared. "He walked confidently in both Māori and Pākehā worlds and was a particular role model for troubled youth, citing his own background, and offering inspirational teachings that one’s present life need not be one’s future."</p> <p>Hewitt leaves behind his wife Arlene and their two children, Elizabeth and Alexander. Born and raised in Pōrangahau, southern Hawke’s Bay, Hewitt's rugby career was nothing short of illustrious. Over 13 seasons, he played 296 representative matches for Hawke’s Bay, Southland and Wellington, earning 23 caps for the All Blacks. Hewitt was also a pivotal member of the Hurricanes during the formative years of Super Rugby, missing only one match in the first five years.</p> <p>The rugby community has been profoundly affected by Hewitt's passing. Former teammate Ofisa Tonu’u posted a touching tribute on Facebook: "I’m just devastated finding out the news today. I will never forget how you always stuck up for me during the Black Tracker days when no one else would, you always look after all the players and we always followed you into battle. No more pain, brother, you can now rest in Love. Fa’afetai tele lava my uso for having my back as I did yours. I know the other boys will be welcoming you with open arms at the gates. Rest in Love, Normy."</p> <p>Beyond his rugby career, Hewitt transitioned into a public speaker and mentor, focusing heavily on violence prevention programmes and advocacy. He worked with the SPCA as an animal cruelty and anti-violence publicity officer, visiting schools to spread his message. In 2005, Hewitt showcased his versatility by winning the first season of<em> Dancing with the Stars</em> alongside professional dancer Carol-Ann Hickmore.</p> <p>Hewitt's life was not without its struggles. In 1999, he made a public apology for a drunken incident in Queenstown, marking a turning point as he renounced alcohol and dedicated himself to helping others facing similar challenges.</p> <p>The outpouring of tributes was immediate, with The All Blacks expressing their sorrow: “We are saddened by the loss of All Black #938 Norm Hewitt who passed away yesterday in Wellington. Hewitt played 9 Tests and 14 Games between 1993 and 1998. Our thoughts are with Norm’s family and loved ones at this time.”</p> <p>Podcaster Martin Devlin shared his personal experience: “RIP Norm Hewitt. Not a lot of people know how kind & generous this man was. A truly wonderful person. Reached out to me and helped me considerably a long time ago when things were very rough. Love & respect.”</p> <p>Richard Hills echoed the sentiments of many: “This is bloody sad. A sad way to lose a kiwi icon so young. He had a really rough childhood and upbringing and faced it and turned his life around to become not only a rugby legend but also helped others who’d been through similar issues.”</p> <p>Norm Hewitt’s legacy will endure through the lives he touched and the positive change he inspired. His story is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the profound impact one individual can have on the world.</p> <p><em>Image: Radio New Zealand</em></p>

Cruz Hewitt makes his Australian Open debut

<p dir="ltr">Twenty-seven years after a young Lleyton Hewitt made his entrance into the tennis world, another young Hewitt has made their Australian Open debut.</p> <p dir="ltr">Cruz, the 15-year-old son of Lleyton and Bec, made his big debut in the junior boys’ singles on Sunday, taking on American teen Alexander Razeghi. </p> <p dir="ltr">Cruz Hewitt is the youngest player in the draw and came out as a wildcard in the tournament, with Razeghi ultimately proving more experienced, as Cruz lost 6-2 6-3 in 1 hour and 26 minutes.</p> <p dir="ltr">Despite not claiming the match, the similarities between the young tennis star and his famous father were uncanny, with Cruz sporting the backwards cap and almost identical two-handed backhand. </p> <p dir="ltr">Before taking to the court for the anticipated game, the youngster got in one last masterclass from his dad, a former world No. 1 and two-time grand slam champion, with a quick father-son training session. </p> <p dir="ltr">Undoubtedly filled with nerves for his son, Lleyton spoke to <em>Nine News</em> before the match, saying he was, “Just unbelievably proud, to be honest.”</p> <p dir="ltr">“They asked me late last night if I would go out and warm him up this morning on Show Court 3. Just a really special moment.”</p> <p dir="ltr">“My first ever main draw match at the Australian Open was actually out on Show Court 3 as well.”</p> <p dir="ltr">“Just some great memories coming back of me playing here. He’s been around the traps, but he’s worked extremely hard to get this opportunity. He is playing well.”</p> <p dir="ltr">The crowd rallied behind the 15-year-old player during his match, while proud parents Lleyton and Bec watched on eagerly from the stands. </p> <p dir="ltr">While he fell short of claiming victory against his 17-year-old opponent, Cruz got plenty of encouragement from the crowd as he made the first small steps on his tennis journey.</p> <p dir="ltr">“He’s still very young. This is all a learning experience,” Lleyton said.</p> <p dir="ltr">“That’s what the junior event is all about. You want to get the opportunity to play here as seniors one day.”</p> <p dir="ltr">“He’s been fortunate enough to get a wildcard and hopefully goes out, has a lot of fun.”</p> <p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 18pt;"><em>Image credits: Getty Images</em><span id="docs-internal-guid-d771073c-7fff-7202-5d96-7657176c6f5e"></span></p>

Inside Bec and Lleyton Hewitt's new $10-million dream home

<p>Bec and Lleyton Hewitt have headed back to Sydney after stints in Melbourne and the Bahamas, with hopes that their new $10.3 million dream home in the semi-rural suburb of Glenhaven, will provide more stability. </p> <p>"I'm a Sydney girl, I love Sydney," said Bec, who swapped the busy inner city life for a more secluded one with her husband their three kids, Mia, 17, Cruz, 14, and Ava, 12. </p> <p>Their new home is close to Bec's family, and one of their neighbours is none other than Bec's former <em>Home And Away</em> co-star Lynne McGranger. </p> <p>Their six bedroom home comes with a host of features, including an inground swimming pool with a cabana, a tennis court, guest cottage and office.</p> <p>It also includes a space that will be used as a "boys room" for Lleyton and his son Cruz. </p> <p>The home sits on just over two hectares, and even features a secret room hidden in the loft, if they want to escape and have some peace and quiet. </p> <p>The couple's lavish purchase comes after they sold their Melbourne mansion in the ritzy suburb of Toorak for $16 million in 2021. </p> <p>They didn't require a mortgage for their new home. </p> <p>A local insider told <em>Woman's Day </em>that "the house is tucked away on a quiet, dead-end road in a sleepy suburb, which will give them a bit more privacy."</p> <p><em>Images: @threebirdsrenovations / Instagram</em> </p>

Bec and Lleyton Hewitt's son on track for Aussie Open

<p>Bec and Lleyton Hewitt's little boy is growing up fast! Just a few months past his 15th birthday, Cruz Hewitt continued to demonstrate that he's well on his way to following in his famous father's illustrious footsteps.</p> <p>In mid September, Cruz secured his inaugural professional win at the Darwin Tennis International, even though he was up against much older and more experienced competitors.</p> <p>That important first pro win came on a Sunday in the first round of qualifiers at the Darwin Tennis International, a 3-6, 4-6, 10-5 thriller over 25-year-old Brian Tran. Cruz then followed that up with another impressive win, 6-3, 6(4)-7, 10-3 over 21-year-old Jerome Iaconi in the second round, before suffering a 3-6, 1-6 loss against 24-year-old Jesse Delaney in the third round of qualifiers.</p> <p>Cruz was elated to share that his famous dad was overjoyed with his victory when he spoke to reporters, emphasising the significance of his win.</p> <p>Behind the scenes, Cruz's mother, TV star Bec Hewitt, now aged 40, is more determined than ever to ensure that her family avoids the pitfalls of history repeating itself – as when Lleyton himself went through the trials of becoming an elite-level tennis player.</p> <p>An insider <a href="https://www.nowtolove.com.au/celebrity/celeb-news/lleyton-hewitt-son-cruz-tennis-78956" target="_blank" rel="noopener">exclusively shared with <em>Woman's Day</em></a>, "There was always this underlying feeling that Lleyton's parents, Glynn and Cherilyn, really pushed their boy to get the best out of himself, and it was rumoured at the time that it was their way or the highway when it came to his tennis."</p> <p>As a result, Bec has spent years advocating for her more balanced parenting approach, steering Lleyton towards her gentler perspective on raising their children (Cruz has a big sister, Mia, who was born in November 2005, and a little sister, Ava, born in October 2010). <span style="font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;">Now Cruz is shaping up to be a more well-rounded individual compared to his highly-pressured dad, thanks to Bec's belief that life should not solely revolve around tennis.</span></p> <p>Bec serves as a calming influence on Cruz, just as she does with their daughters Mia and Ava. Her aspiration for her son is to have him look up to players like Roger Federer, who epitomise true champions both on and off the court. What matters most to Bec is ensuring that Cruz's mental health is as robust as his tennis skills, and she is determined not to push him too hard in pursuit of success.</p> <p>The talented young athlete has inherited more than just his 42-year-old father's formidable two-handed backhand. When asked about his most recent victory, Cruz confidently remarked to local media: "I'm pretty stoked about getting that win because I had to come from behind. I was fired up, to be honest… It's cool getting to go to different places like here in Darwin, and it's a lot of fun. But I came here to test myself at this level against some older players and see how I fare."</p> <p>He playfully added, "I also get to miss school today because I won, so that's even better!"</p> <p>With the entire tennis world closely observing Cruz's every move, the question now arises: Can he break one of his father's longest-standing records? An insider shared, "Lleyton, who these days balances family life with coaching and commentary commitments, first qualified for the 1997 Australian Open at the tender age of 15 years and 11 months, becoming the youngest in the tournament's history.</p> <p>"He went on to win the 2001 US Open and the 2002 Wimbledon. There's no reason Cruz, who exudes more confidence than most kids his age on the circuit, can't achieve the same over the next few months."</p> <p>The insider shared, "When Cruz was seven, Lleyton expressed hope that his son would make the main draw at 14. While Bec knows he was simply dreaming big for his son, she wants to shield her boy from excessive pressure and offer unwavering support, win or lose."</p> <p><em>Images: Instagram</em></p>

Bec Judd's son taken to hospital with mystery illness

<p>Bec Judd's seven-year-old son, Tom, has been hospitalised due to an undisclosed medical condition, as the concerned mother shared on her Instagram account.</p> <p>In the recent post, the 40-year-old WAG posted a heartwarming picture of Tom comfortably lying in a hospital bed. In the photo, Tom flashed a smile at the camera, clutching his teddy bear and savouring an ice cream treat. However, Bec did not reveal the specific reason for Tom's hospitalisation in her social media update.</p> <p>With a hopeful tone, Bec wrote, "Onwards and upwards, Tom," and expressed gratitude to Nurse Becky Bell for her care and support during this challenging time.</p> <p>Bec Judd, a mother of four, shares her children with her ex-AFL star husband, Chris Judd. Alongside her recent family concerns, Bec has also been actively involved in charitable endeavours. She disclosed her plans to contribute 25,000 meals to Food Bank Victoria, an organisation dedicated to addressing food insecurity. Bec's involvement extends beyond her vocal support, as she is using her design skills to create a unique spatula for fundraising purposes. The entirety of the proceeds from the spatula sales will be donated to Food Bank.</p> <p>In Bec's own words, each spatula sold translates into an impressive "25 meals on the table", with the ambitious goal of providing "250,000 extra meals by Christmas". She encouraged her substantial following to support the cause by considering the spatula as a unique Christmas gift option. Not only will buyers acquire an original Bec Judd creation, but they will also make a significant contribution to their community.</p> <p>This charitable campaign features other notable personalities, including New Zealand culinary expert Ben Shewry, radio and TV presenter Chrissie Swan, and Australian pastry chef Kirsten Tibballs.</p> <p>In addition to her philanthropic efforts, Bec Judd has been making appearances on the celebrity edition of <em>The Amazing Race</em>, where she teams up with her sister, Kate Twigley. During a recent interview on KIIS FM's Jase and Lauren show, Bec recounted some of the show's more challenging moments, including an encounter with elephant dung.</p> <p>"It was interesting; they really threw us into these challenges that were quite foul, like shovelling poo, and I was like, where are the gloves?" Bec shared. "You know, I worked at The Alfred Hospital; I have four kids, I've got a puppy. I'm used to vomit and poo and secretions, but we always had gloves and masks, so it was okay. But this is bare hands, and I was not happy about it."</p> <p>In a recent trailer for the Ten reality show, Bec also revealed her germophobic tendencies, adding a layer of intrigue to her adventures on <em>The Amazing Race.</em></p> <p><em>Images: Instagram</em></p>

"Hey, we're Aussies": Bec Maddern's classic response to leaked Djokovic footage
