Rebecca Judd got to spend time with one of her heroes at the 2024 Brownlow Medal in Melbourne on Monday.
The WAG, who arrived on the arm of her husband Chris Judd, once revealed she was ‘star-struck’ when she met her teenage crush, former AFL star Ben Cousins, for the first time.
The pair were reunited at the awards ceremony, with Bec sharing a photo of the sweet moment to her Instagram Stories.
‘OG’s only! Ben Cousins is on the gram’ she wrote tagging Instagram and adding, ‘any chance of a blue tick for the Prince of Perth?’
The pair cosied up for a selfie, both beaming for the camera.
While Bec had husband Chris with her, Ben took his sister, Melanie, as his date for AFL’s night of nights.
Bec has previously explained how she had a crush on Cousins in her teenage years.
Speaking on KIIS FM’s 3pm Pick-Up, she explained that she had dinner with Ben – whose legal troubles and drug addiction have since overshadowed his footy career – when she first started dating her now-husband, Chris Judd.

Radio host Katie ‘Monty’ Dimond couldn’t resist making a joke about how different Rebecca’s life would have been if she had married Ben instead of Chris.
Rebecca explained: ‘My husband Chris played with Ben at the [West Coast] Eagles… In high school, my friend Carla had a life-size cut out of Ben Cousins at the beach with just a towel in her bedroom. We would always just froth at the picture!
‘And then I started dating Chris… there was a footy game in Melbourne and we all went out for dinner after the football game. I was so scared the whole night to even look at [Ben] or say anything because I was so nervous.
‘And then at the end of the night, I was like [squeaky voice] “Hi, Ben!” And he was just so cool, “Oh, g’day Bec!”‘

Monty then said: ‘How lucky though that you didn’t go for him over Juddy!
‘Like you probably could have had the option at some point. Imagine how differently your life would have turned out!’
In response, Rebecca clarified that she never once thought of Ben romantically, as she had already fallen in love with Chris the moment she met him.
The Judds first met at a pub in Perth when they were both 19. They married in December 2010 and are now parents to four children: Oscar, Billie, Tom and Darcy.
Sadly, Cousins’ life went on a downward spiral since his retirement from football in 2010.
The 2005 Brownlow Medal winner has battled drug addiction and various legal woes and has even spent time in prison.
