Lleyton Hewitt's warning to daughter Mia's boyfriend amid young couple's rock'n'roll lifestyle as 'Beckham-style feud is brewing behind the scenes'
The 19-year-old musician and her Liquid Zoo frontman partner were first romantically linked in May last year when they were seen going for lunch in Surry Hills.
They are now often seen living wild and free, with sources claiming tennis champion Lleyton, 44, fears Mia is being led astray, according to Woman's Day.
'Lleyton is just like any dad out there and is super protective, especially of his girls. He is very much serving up the tough dad act right now,' an insider said.
'He wants Mia to be happy but he thinks she's still too young to be getting into any kind of serious relationship.'

The publication went on to claim there are signs a 'Beckham-style feud is brewing behind the scenes'.
The former Wimbledon star was reportedly unimpressed with images that emerged last year of Mia and Vanda smoking and acting up for cameras.
He is said to want Mia to experiment and enjoy life, but not at the cost of a healthy lifestyle and quality time with the family.
'Living her dreams is important but so is maintaining her relationship with her family,' the source said.
Notably, Mia is the only member of the Hewitt family who follows Vanda on social media.
Not even her younger brother Cruz can be found in Vanda's follow list, despite the singer following the 16-year-old's Instagram account.
Mia and Vanda have frequently been spotted spending time together at the beach and with their friends.
In September last year, the rising star, often dubbed a 'nepo baby', performed her first gig with her band Father's Favourite.

Mia, the daughter of Lleyton and his Home and Away star wife Bec, looked stylish in a tiny white skirt and black top as she wowed the crowd at a brewery in Sydney.
Her band's Instagram page describes the group as a 'bohemian folk rock duo'.
Mia was earlier seen during an outing with a group of friends in Sydney's Rose Bay as they stepped out at Rose Bay House for a meal.
The Father's Favourite folk singer shocked onlookers as she was seen smoking during the outing.
Her rock star boyfriend Vanda, the lead singer of the band Liquid Zoo, also acted up for the cameras as he was seen wearing shades and swearing while the group laughed.
The duo were also joined by one of Vanda's Liquid Zoo bandmates as they all got out of Mia's car together and headed for a bite to eat.
Mia's parents, Lleyton and Bec, met on the tennis court for a charity game at the Starlight Cup back in 1999.
The couple didn't reconnect until a few years later and finally met up in person in 2005, before getting engaged after a whirlwind romance that lasted six weeks.
Grand Slam champion Lleyton married actress Bec 18 years ago in a romantic ceremony at the Sydney Opera House.
As well as singer Mia, they also share another daughter, Ava, 14, and son Cruz.

Nicola Peltz shares huge family news during holiday with her loved ones as the Beckham feud rumbles on
Nicola Peltz shared some huge news on Tuesday during her family holiday to Saint-Tropez. The actress, 30, and her husband Brooklyn Beckham, 26, are currently away with her billionaire parents while his feud with the Beckham clan rumbles on. On Sunday, it was claimed the couple's rift with David and Victoria could overshadow Harper's upcoming 14th birthday on July 10. Sharing on update to Instagram, Nicola announced her brother Will had asked his girlfriend Kenya Jones to marry him. Posing for a photo Kenya showed off her diamond ring as she shared a kiss with her husband-to-be in front of the sea. It read: 'Just engaged. My whole heart for my whole life,' with Nicola adding: 'Best news ever!' Nicola's parent's are billionaire investor Nelson and his model wife Claudia Heffner Peltz. Together they share eight children: Matthew, Will, Brad, Brittany, Diesel, Nicola, Zachary and Gregory. Nicola's posts come amid fears Brooklyn and Nicola will fail to acknowledge Harper's birthday on Thursday. Amid his escalating feud with his family, the pair failed to publicly acknowledge David's milestone 50th birthday on May 8. David and Victoria's 26th wedding anniversary also passed without mention, despite the former Manchester United and England footballer referencing Brooklyn in his own post. And sources fear Harper could be 'collateral damage' should they fail to acknowledge her birthday celebration as the feud with her parents escalates. An insider told The Mirror: 'Harper's been particularly affected by what's going on because she's always been really close to Brooklyn. 'They've always had a lovely bond because Brooklyn was that bit older when Harper was born and the hope when Brooklyn married Nicola was that she'd become like a big sister to Harper in a house full of brothers.' They added: 'But obviously that hasn't happened and it's potentially going to be heartbreaking for Harper if Brooklyn doesn't show up for her on her birthday.' David previously thanked wife Victoria for their 'beautiful children' as the couple both acknowledged estranged son Brooklyn while celebrating their 26th wedding anniversary on July 4. The former footballer who also shares sons Romeo, 20, and Cruz, 22 with the ex Spice Girl, 51, shared a series of throwback snaps of the family in happier times. Declaring his love for Victoria, who he referred to as Lady Beckham following his Knighthood, he wrote: '26 years today you said YES to me Happy Anniversary and thank you for giving me our beautiful children and building the life that we have together.' He went on to tag his children including estranged son Brooklyn. Victoria, 51, also tagged her eldest son, captioning her post: 'Another year, another chapter in our love story. 'I'm so proud of the beautiful family and life we've built together. You and our four incredible children complete me. I love you so much @davidbeckham. Here's to 26 years!!' Despite the apparent olive branch, insider believe Brooklyn will not be in attendance when Harper turns 14 on Thursday. The source added: 'He took a stand and missed his dad's 50th so he's not likely to suddenly do a U-turn and forget everything that's happened, as much as he loves Harper. 'But if he did, it could a much-needed olive branch to start repairing things. An end to the family drama would be the best birthday present Harper – and her parents – could ask for.' MailOnline has contacted a representative for further comment. David Beckham thanked wife Victoria for their 'beautiful children' while celebrating the couple's 26th wedding anniversary on Instagram on July 4 Rumours of a rift between the eldest son and his parents began when Brooklyn was noticeably silent on his former Spice Girl mother's birthday, a far cry from his usual sweet posts about her. Neither the former photographer nor his wife wished Victoria a happy 51st, while David, Romeo and Cruz posted gushing messages. And as well as snubbing dad David's birthday online, he also was notably absent from all of his 50th birthday celebrations - including a boys' fishing trip. Despite flying to London at the time, Brooklyn and Nicola also didn't attend the big family party at the Beckhams' Cotswolds home or an idyllic trip to France or a meal at Notting Hill restaurant, Core. Brooklyn reportedly 'told his famous family that he wants no contact' with them last month in the latest devastating turn of their ongoing feud. While a source close to Brooklyn denied the claims, a source told Page Six: 'Brooklyn told his family he wants no contact and he's not responding to those that try to connect.' According to the publication, the eldest Beckham boy has had no communication with his family following father David's knighthood being announced last month and only learned of the news in the media alongside the rest of the world. Denying he'd asked for no contact, a source close to Brooklyn told the publication: 'Everyone's focus should be David Beckham 's great honour'. Meanwhile a source close to Brooklyn also denied the claims as they told MailOnline, 'this seems to be another deliberate attempt to misrepresent the truth, and it only serves to distract from this honor being bestowed on Brooklyn's father.'

Katie McGlynn puts on a brave face after split from Towie star boyfriend in sexy mini skirt and crop top
FORMER Corrie star Katie McGlynn has put on a brave face after splitting from her Towie star boyfriend. Katie, who split from Ricky Rayment earlier today, has stepped out at an event in London's Crystal Palace Park while looking sensational. 7 7 7 The blonde beauty, who started dating former reality star Ricky after meeting on a cruise ship in 2023, decided to call time on their romance, despite sparking engagement rumours last February. "Katie and Ricky have ended their romance, they're still friends and want to remain civil but in terms of a romantic relationship, it's definitely over," a source told the MailOnline today. They added that they found it "difficult" to maintain a long distance relationship, with Katie in Manchester and Ricky in Essex. And now Katie has shown off her amazing figure and bright, beaming smile while at a festival-style event with a friend. Katie could be seen rocking a dazzling silver sequin miniskirt complete with a black long-sleeved top that had a cut out section in the middle of her chest. She completed the look with a cowboy hat, some sunglasses, a bumbag and some cowboy boots. Flashing a huge grin, and the peace sign, Katie beamed for the camera. DAZZLING SNAPS "What a moment," Katie penned in the caption of the photo dump she shared from the fun-filled day out. She added: "Impromptu trip to London to see @rufusdusol live for the first time!! "One of my all time fave artists. Amazing early birthday present @leeantonybennett." Commenting on the ultra glamorous snaps Katie shared, one person said: "Too hot to handle." Another wrote: "You look absolutely stunning & very glamourous." "What a woman," swooned a third. A fourth then wrote: "You look gorgeous. lovely pictures and video. Lovely outfit and hat." 7 7 While a fifth said: "Fantastic legs Katie." And a sixth added: "Absolutely sensational." WEDDING RUMOURS DASHED Last February, speculation started to mount that the former soap star and reality star were about to head down the aisle. The rumours ran rampant after she was pictured with a sparkler on her ring finger. It came after The Sun exclusively revealed Katie and TOWIE alum Ricky had been dating for four months, following a video emerging of them kissing in the street. Speaking at the time, an onlooker suggested they very much seemed to be an item. They said: "They very much looked like girlfriend and boyfriend. They were holding hands, having a laugh and even had a little kiss as they walked amongst other Saturday afternoon shoppers." 7 7

The Crocs Happy Meal comes with a choice of a hamburger, cheeseburger, nuggets or a grilled chicken wrap. It can be paired with apple slices or fries and a small drink - all served in a classic Happy Meal box.
