Bec met the Aussie tennis champion and former world no.1 when she was known to us all as Bec Cartwright and for her role on iconic soap, Home and Away.

It was a match made in heaven when they got together in the early to mid-2000s: a leading sports star and a Home and Away actress turned singer and one of the biggest names in the country at the time.
