Melbourne, June 30 : Tennis star Lleyton Hewitt and wife Bec have confirmed they are expecting their second child.

In a recent interview with OK! Magazine, the couple revealed that their baby is due in January.

"We're both very excited," News.com.au quoted Bec, as saying.

Hewitt, 27, added: "Yeah, it's fantastic".

The couple already have a daughter Mia, who was born in November 2005.

Rumours about a pregnancy started as early as last year when Bec began crying during a visit to the Children's Hospital at Westmead.

She has recently been photographed at North Shore Private Hospital and snapped wearing loose fitting clothing.
