Mia Hewitt's boyfriend Vanda Erica pays tribute to her tennis legend dad Lleyton during Newtown gig - after rumours of a rift
Mia Hewitt's rock star boyfriend Vanda Erica appears to have paid tribute to her tennis icon dad Lleyton Hewitt at a recent gig amid rumours of a family rift. The Liquid Zoo frontman took to the stage in Newtown on Sunday wearing a red, vintage cropped top that featured a yellow print of the Aussie tennis star on the front. Lleyton was doing his 'C'mon' pose in the graphic, a signature move that he often made on the tennis courts after scoring a few points. The rocker paired the iconic tee with some low-rise jeans and a pair of shades, while wearing his distinctive blonde locks in a messy hairdo. Vanda was seen showing off his dance moves at the outdoor show before removing his shirt and performing on top of a car, all while his 19-year-old girlfriend Mia cheered him on from the sidelines.

Mia was every inch the rock star girlfriend as she donned a leopard print faux fur jacket over a pair of jeans. She later slipped off the jacket to reveal a white poplin top, cropped to reveal her toned abs. Mia paired the easy-going ensemble with a red bandana around her neck, and wore her wild locks across her shoulders and choosing an '80s cat eye makeup look. Mia could be seen grooving to her boyfriend's music and chatting to her pals before blowing a kiss. It comes as rumours swirl around the couple, with allegations of a Beckham-style rift between them and Mia's family. Last week, it was reported that Lleyton Hewitt had concerns about the fast and loose lifestyle his eldest daughter leads with her rock'n'roll boyfriend. Mia and her rock star partner Vanda 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 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 piled out of Mia's car and made their way to a restaurant 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 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.

Lleyton and Bec Hewitt's daughter Mia looks every inch the rocker in a leopard print faux fur coat as she arrives for a gig in Sydney
Mia Hewitt looked every inch the rocker on Friday when she stepped out for a gig in Sydney. Mia, the daughter of Tennis champ Lleyton Hewitt and former Home and Away star Bec, is one half of the musical duo Father's Favourite. And she certainly looked the part when she was seen hopping out of an Uber on her way to the gig. Mia rugged up against the inclement Sydney weather in a faux leopard print fur coat. The wintry garment was all Mia had for warmth, however, with the burgeoning rocker wearing a thin white silk blouse underneath the coat. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The blouse featured lace embellishments around the neckline and hem. She also put on quite the leggy display in a pair of light brown hotpants that finished at the top of her thigh. Mia finished her rocker look with a pair of knee-high brown leather boots, while accessorising with a vintage-looking brown leather bag that she had slung over her shoulder. She wore her mousy brown locks down for the occasion, letting her hair fall freely down her back. Arriving at the venue with a bandmate, Mia could be seen grabbing a large black guitar case from the trunk of her Uber. She looked laser focused on the task ahead, sporting a stoic expression as she made her way into the venue. Mia's band performed their first gig back in August last year, and her former Home and Away star mum Bec is reportedly keen to steer her in the right musical direction. While she is best known for playing Home and Away fan favourite Hailey Smith Lawson from 1998 to 2005, the actress also had a brief pop career. And she certainly looked the part when she was seen hopping out of an Uber on her way to the gig Mia rugged up against the inclement Sydney weather in a faux leopard print fur coat The wintry garment was all Mia had for warmth, however, with the burgeoning rocker wearing a thin white silk blouse underneath the coat On the back of her television fame, Bec released an eponymous solo album in 2002, and her debut single All Seats Taken hit number 10 on the ARIA chart. Her album, however, was met with mixed reviews and her music career effectively came to an end in 2004 when she parted ways with label Warner Music. A source told New Idea that Bec is keen to ensure that her daughter avoids the pitfalls that can befall new and inexperienced artists. 'Bec knows how to deal with bad people, dodgy managers, and doesn't want Mia making some of the mistakes she made early in her career, like being too optimistic about certain jobs,' they said. The insider added that while music is Mia's current consuming passion, she hasn't ruled out a career in front of the camera, like her actress mum. 'Mia is very savvy. She knows you can't just be good at one thing and that entering the music industry will ultimately see her having to create social media content and putting herself forward,' they said. 'Ultimately, that can lead to more work like modelling, acting and even presenting. 'Bec just wants Mia to be happy and working on a career that is going to sustain her.' It appears that the rockstar lifestyle is also rubbing off on Mia, with the young singer recently spotted smoking cigarette s while hanging out with friends in Sydney's Rose Bay. Mia's parents, tennis champion Lleyton and singer 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. As well as singer Mia, they also share another daughter Ava, 12, and son Cruz, 15. It was recently claimed that Bec could be planning a return back in front of the cameras years after leaving her role as Hayley Smith Lawson on Home and Away in 2005.
