Mia Hewitt was recently caught doing something very unhealthy in Sydney.
The 18-year-old daughter of tennis pro Lleyton Hewitt and Home and Away actress Bec Hewitt was photographed smoking a cigarette with friends this week.
The teen’s behavior was in stark contrast to the rest of her family, who are known for their super healthy lifestyle.
Their 15-year-old son Cruz is following in his father’s footsteps and competing in junior tennis tournaments around the world, and Bec and Lleyton are also open about healthy eating habits.
Bec, 41, does most of the cooking and prefers healthy variations on family favourites.
Speaking to the Sydney Morning Herald Last year, Lleyton, 43, said of Bec’s cooking: ‘I love her spaghetti bolognese and she also makes fantastic lentil pasta dishes.’
“Our son Cruz wants to be an athlete, and I have a sporting background myself. That’s why it’s important to have pasta in some of your meals. You really need carbohydrates when you compete and play hard,” he added.
Lleyton also claimed that Bec’s Mexican dishes are ‘a great way to bring fussy eaters together.’

But Bec isn’t the only one cooking for the family: the tennis champion admitted he loves getting behind the barbecue.
‘I like to throw marinated chicken fillets on the barbecue and serve them with hand-cut fries or crispy baked potatoes.’
That’s because the Hewitts’ eldest daughter, Mia, was spotted out and about in Sydney earlier this week living life to the fullest.
Mia was spotted out and about with a group of friends in Rose Bay, Sydney on Tuesday.

Mia was photographed this week dining with a friend at Rose Bay House.
Her father’s favorite folk singer was shocked when she was spotted puffing on a cigarette during the outing.
Her rock star friend Vanda Erich, the lead singer of the band Liquid Zoo, also acted for the cameras, wearing sunglasses and swearing as the group laughed.

Mia seemed to see the humor in it and smiled before leading her friend to the popular waterfront restaurant and bar.
She watched Vanda intently during the outing and placed her hand on his back as they walked side by side.
The duo were joined by one of Vanda’s Liquid Zoo band members and got out of Mia’s car together to grab a bite to eat.
It’s not the first time Mia has been spotted with Vanda in recent months. In May, they were spotted having lunch in Surry Hills.
Lleyton and Bec met on the tennis court at a charity match during the Starlight Cup in 1999.
The couple didn’t get back together until a few years later, finally meeting in real life in 2005. After a whirlwind romance that lasted six weeks, they got engaged.
Grand Slam champion Lleyton married actress Bec 18 years ago in a romantic ceremony at the Sydney Opera House.
Besides singer Mia, they have a daughter, Ava, 12, and a son, Cruz.
It was recently claimed that Bec is planning to return to the cameras, years after quitting her role as Hayley Smith Lawson on Home and Away in 2005.
