Bec Hewitt has always put family first.

And it was no different on Sunday ahead of her hotly anticipated return to TV on Dancing With The Stars.

Taking to Instagram, the mother-of-three shared a photo of her tennis star son Cruz, 12, following a win at the Australian Junior Championships.

Cruz was the spitting image of his father as he showcased his athletic prowess on the court for all to see.

'What a week for the little fella,' Bec began.

'Winning the National Claycourt singles and doubles titles! Proud mama!!' she added.

Bec and Lleyton have three children together - Mia, 15, Cruz, 12, and Ava, 10.

The post comes ahead of her own return to TV with the premiere of Dancing With The Stars. She's also hinted at a possible return to Home and Away.

Speaking to The Daily Telegraph this week, Bec said it was fun to be back in front of the camera.

'It was really fun being back in the front of the camera and I'm feeling more and more comfortable as the weeks go on. It did feel really foreign at first.

'I've been quite happy doing the mum thing and running the kids around. It was such a big part of my life growing up so it's giving myself permission to enjoy it.'

She added that 'returning to the workforce' was not out of the question, as she realised she could juggle a gig and a family.

'I think it's like going back into any job in the workforce no matter what you do, if you've been mum, it's a bigger deal after being out of it for a while. But can we do it – yes we can. We absolutely can,' she said.

Bec played Hayley Smith Lawson on the long-running soap opera from 1998 to 2005.

She left the show after marrying tennis champion Lleyton Hewitt, 40, that same year.

Bec thrilled fans in March when returned to Summer Bay for a set visit in between rehearsals for Dancing with the Stars.

Actor Lincoln Lewis documented the reunion on Instagram, as the pair spent time with current stars Ada Nicodemou and Luke Jacobz at the show's famous diner.
