Rebecca Judd shares that her marriage to AFL star Chris Judd remains full of excitement after more than two decades together. The 43-year-old mother of four highlights Chris, who retired in 2015, as still athletic and attractive.
Podcast Revelations on Their Spark
On a recent episode of her Vain-ish podcast, Bec praises her husband’s dedication to fitness. “He’s full keto. You should see his six pack,” she says enthusiastically. “He is in playing form… he is so hot.”
Bec continues, “He’s amazing. 23 years and I still find him hot.” The couple, who married in 2010, first connected as teenagers.
Romantic Beginnings
The pair met in a Perth pub in 2002, the year Chris began his professional career with the West Coast Eagles. Recalling their first encounter during a Q&A, Bec explains, “It’s weird, I didn’t really have lots of boyfriends growing up, and I was very, very picky, and I saw him, and I was like ‘Damn! I like him’.”
During the podcast, she mimics excitement at his calls: “When he calls me, I’m like, ‘Oh! It’s Chris Judd’.”
Insights from Humble Upbringing
Bec recently opened up about her working-class roots in Perth, raised by parents Hugh and Kerry alongside her older sister Kate. She describes hand-me-down school uniforms and financial struggles. “We’re not silver spooners. We never had a new school uniform, they were always hand-me-downs from friends’ older siblings,” she notes.
School excursions posed challenges: “Kids who paid for their school excursions, with the slip and the money in it, on time – rich! We never paid on time because we never had any spare money.” Bec recalls anxiety over small fees like “$5 for this animal incursion coming to school.”
Raising Appreciative Children
Now a successful influencer and fashion designer, Bec works to instill gratitude in her four children—Oscar, 14, Billie, 11, and nine-year-old twins Tom and Darcy—whom she shares with Chris, 42. “They are privileged, they go to amazing schools, so it’s hard to get them to get a sense of how lucky they are,” she says.
She emphasizes experiences over material items: “What I have figured out is that kids don’t give a s**t. They remember the memories and the fun times they had in that house, not what the furniture looked like. They just want to have fun.” The Judds wed on December 31, 2010, at Melbourne’s Albert Park.
