Lleyton and Bec Hewitt's daughter 'first to admit' she's a nepo baby
Mia Hewitt is stepping into her own, giving her first major interview without her parents Lleyton and Bec Hewitt.
The 20-year-old is the eldest of the star couple's children — with Cruz, 17, and Ava, 15.
The burgeoning musician has dealt with fame since she was a child due to her father's tennis prowess and mother's acting pursuits, opening up about it to Stellar Magazine.

Mia says she only created her own Instagram profile two years ago, years after her younger siblings did, mainly because she was still on her journey of figuring out who she really is.
"That's the whole thing with being in the public eye – in any capacity. People feel like they know you, and they essentially don't," she said.
"If you're in it from a younger age they just kind of see you as one thing.
"And it's hard, because they're not seeing the actual evolution of you, as a person. Just the image."

Mia is also hyper-aware of the "nepo baby" label she carries, commenting on her position.
"It just kind of is what it is," she said.
"I can't say no, I'm not. Because of my parents, I know people. I'm the first to admit that."
Mia has begun to forge her own path in music, taking the mic as the lead singer of the folk band Father's Favourite, alongside her best friend Cherise Combrink.
The band is currently recording a debut EP.

She has recently teamed up with Reebok for its Born Classic Worn For Life campaign, appearing alongside tennis legend Pat Rafter's daughter India.
The campaign will be launching ahead of the Australian Open, which Mia will be attending with the brand.
This time, instead of cheering on her dad, she'll be supporting her younger brother Cruz, who is following in their father's footsteps and has become a professional tennis player and has received a wildcard into the qualifying draw.
