Rebecca Judd shares that her marriage to AFL legend Chris Judd remains full of excitement after more than two decades together. The 43-year-old mother of four highlights Chris’s impressive fitness, noting he stays in top shape even after retiring from football in 2015.
Podcast Praise for Enduring Attraction
On a recent episode of her podcast, Bec raves about her husband’s dedication to a keto diet and his chiseled physique. “He’s full keto. You should see his six pack,” she says. “He is in playing form… he is so hot.”
Bec adds, “He’s amazing. 23 years and I still find him hot.” She even mimics excitement over his calls, joking, “When he calls me, I’m like, ‘Oh! It’s Chris Judd’.”
From Humble Beginnings to Family Life
The couple first met as teenagers in a Perth pub in 2002, the year Chris began his professional career with the West Coast Eagles. Bec recalls the instant spark: “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’.”
They married on December 31, 2010, at Melbourne’s Albert Park. Today, Bec and Chris, 42, raise four children: Oscar, 14, Billie, 11, and nine-year-old twins Tom and Darcy.
Lessons from a Working-Class Upbringing
Bec opens up about her modest roots in Perth, raised by parents Hugh and Kerry alongside her sister Kate. “We’re not silver spooners. We never had a new school uniform, they were always hand-me-downs from friends’ older siblings,” she explains.
Financial struggles shaped her perspective. “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 shares. Simple outings caused anxiety: “Whenever we’d get the form, I’d get anxiety, going, ‘Where are we going to find $5 for this animal incursion coming to school?'”
Now successful as an influencer and fashion designer, Bec works to instill gratitude in her privileged children. “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 notes. “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.”
