He’s blushing! Tennis star Lleyton Hewitt goes bright red as he meets Kate Middleton at Wimbledon – while his wife Bec mingles with Tom Cruise

Lleyon Hewitt was in awe on Sunday when he faced Kate Middleton in the Wimbledon final in England.

The 43-year-old retired tennis player attended the match with his 40-year-old wife Bec, who sat in the royal box next to the Princess of Wales.

Hewitt looked handsome in a tailored navy jacket with open buttons, paired with a crisp white shirt and patterned tie. His perfectly styled hair added to his sleek appearance.

Bec looked effortlessly chic in a black designer jacket and polka dot dress.

The power couple were seen energetically cheering on the players during the thrilling final.

Meanwhile, Kate, who was joined by her sister Pippa and daughter Princess Charlotte, opted for a stunning royal purple Safiyaa gown worth $2,500.

The Princess of Wales later presented the Wimbledon trophy to Carlos Alcaraz after the Spaniard won the Grand Slam for the second year in a row.

Kate, who stepped back from her public royal duties due to her cancer treatment, saw the reigning Spanish champion take on the experienced Novak Djokovic, winning the match in three sets.

Before passing the trophy to Alcaraz, Kate offered her condolences and shook hands with runner-up Novak Djokovic.

Before Kate and her family took their seats in the Royal Box, they met female tennis stars, including 21-year-old Emma Radacanu, who all presented Kate with a bouquet of flowers.

US Open winner Raducanu said it was “wonderful” to have the princess’s support and “to see her here looking so healthy and happy”.

Kate’s husband Prince William and their son George did not join the outing, as they were attending the European Championship final in Berlin on the same day.
