Rebecca Judd, the 43-year-old mother of four and prominent AFL WAG, shares that her marriage to retired footy star Chris Judd remains full of excitement after more than two decades together. The couple, who celebrate 23 years, continues to spark admiration from Bec, who describes Chris as still ‘hot’ and in top playing form.
Bec’s Playful Praise on Her Podcast
During a recent episode of her Vain-ish podcast, Bec enthuses about Chris’s fitness dedication. ‘He’s full keto. You should see his six pack,’ she says. ‘He is in playing form… he is so hot.’
Bec, married to the former Carlton star since 2010, adds, ‘He’s amazing. 23 years and I still find him hot.’
She even mimics excitement over his calls: ‘When he calls me, I’m like, “Oh! It’s Chris Judd”.’
From Teenage Romance to Long-Term Bliss
The pair first connected as teenagers in a Perth pub in 2002, the same year Chris began his AFL career with the West Coast Eagles. Reflecting on their meeting, Bec recalls, ‘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”.’
Chris retired in 2015 at age 31. The couple wed on December 31, 2010, at Melbourne’s Albert Park and share four children: Oscar, 14, Billie, 11, and nine-year-old twins Tom and Darcy.
Humble Roots Shape Family Values
Bec recently opened up about her working-class upbringing in Perth, Western Australia, raised by parents Hugh and Kerry alongside her older 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 constraints created challenges: ‘Kids who paid for their school excursions… on time – rich! We never paid on time because we never had any spare money.’ Bec remembers anxiety over small fees: ‘Where are we going to find $5 for this animal incursion coming to school?’
Determined to instill gratitude, Bec works to prevent her children from feeling entitled despite their privileges. ‘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. ‘Kids don’t give a s**t. They remember the memories and the fun times… They just want to have fun.’
