Rebecca Judd and her husband Chris have now been married for seven years and share four beautiful children together.
And as Bec reveals, meeting Chris was love at first sight.
“[I] met him at the pub, and [it was] like instant,” Bec says of meeting her now-hubby back in 2002.
“I think I was 19, at the Cottesloe, at the ‘Cot’ Sunday session,” says Bec on Show + Tell.
“Many good hook-up stories centre around the Cot, and then getting the double-decker bus to ‘Clubba’ Club Bayview afterwards.”
However, what the model and media personality didn’t know at the time was that she was actually in the presence of not only a future AFL great, but the man she’d spend another 15 years with.
“I’d been living overseas. I’d been to Hong Kong and I was back for a few weeks. I met up with one of my girlfriends and we went to the Cot and she’d been kissing one of Chris’ friends,” Bec continues, setting the scene of the couple’s chance encounter.
And as the interview continues, Bec concedes that it was at this same time – when the pair first connected – that “he had a girlfriend”!
Although, truth be told, Chris has a slightly different memory of their meeting…
“Daniel Kerr and I were having a few beers, but I was keeping a lid on it because I was driving,” he writes in his autobiography.
“I remember thinking that Bec was very beautiful — and quite drunk!”
“I had a girlfriend at the time who was overseas. I’d swear I mentioned this to Bec that first afternoon, but Bec is adamant that I did not,” Chris jokes.
Despite Chris being attached at the time of their first-ever meeting, the two fell in love, marrying in 2010 (in what Chris describes as a “breathlessly hot” New Year’s Eve ceremony) when Bec was 10 weeks pregnant at the time.
And the rest is loved-up history!
