Bec Hewitt and daughter Ava pick up toilet paper and cereal from store amid the coronavirus pandemic

Bec Hewitt bought some essentials from the supermarket last month, just like the millions of families across Australia stocking up for the coronavirus pandemic.

She was joined by her nine-year-old daughter, Ava, and the pair looked cheerful as they purchased cereal and toilet paper from a store in Melbourne.

The Hewitt family avoided panic buying crowds later in the day by having a truckload of groceries delivered to their $12.7million mansion in Toorak.

The former Home and Away star dressed casually in ripped jeans and a black sweater, which she paired with sneakers.

The mother-of-three, 36, styled her dark hair in a low ponytail and went makeup free.

Ava, who is a keen dancer, wore shorts and a jacket, and tied her hair up in a bun.  

Bec and Ava chatted as they walked and appeared relaxed on the outing. 

In Victoria, residents can only leave the house amid COVID-19 for reasons including shopping for food, exercise, care and compassionate reasons and work and education. 

A Woolworths delivery man was later seen unpacking crates of groceries from a truck into Bec and Lleyton’s lavish pad. 

Bec and tennis legend Lleyton, 39, live at the home with their three children, Mia, 14, Ava and son Cruz, 11. They were previously based in the Bahamas.

They married back in 2005 at the Sydney Opera House. At the time, Bec was a soap actress and budding pop star. She soon quit her career for motherhood.

Back in 2018, Bec made a return to television to appear on the Channel Nine travel show, Hello World. 

She told The Daily Telegraph at the time about returning to the spotlight, saying she felt the time was right.

‘I think it’s the right time and the right job just to fit in with my other job of being a mum,’ Bec said. 

In 2016, Bec said that while she felt acting was too time consuming, she was ‘nervous’ about what to do with her time now that her kids were at school.
