Rebecca Judd is one of the entertainment world’s hardest-working women, juggling duties as a TV presenter, radio star, author and brand ambassador.
But before she became a multi-tasking career woman, the brunette beauty was best known as the partner of AFL legend, Chris Judd.
And in a candid conversation on this week’s 3PM Pick-Up, the 35-year-old opened up about the sacrifices she made as a WAG, before revealing how she transformed from living in the sportsman’s shadow to a high-profile businesswoman.

Bec began by dishing details on what life was like when she was known simply as Chris’ partner.
The former model shot to fame at the 2004 Brownlow Medals when she appeared on the arm of her AFL star beau while clad in a plunging red dress.
At the time, Chris was a star midfielder for the West Coast Eagles, before he transferred to Carlton in 2008. The couple married in 2010.

During football season, Bec says her bedroom practices and dietary habits would revolve around Chris’ career.
‘There was no sex on game day!’ she told radio co-hosts Yumi Stynes and Kate ‘Monty’ Dimond.
‘I think my husband didn’t want to blow any steam… save all his energy for the game,’ she then laughed.

Bec sounded slightly uncomfortable discussing her personal habits, and later said: ‘I’m not very sexual, I’m very prudish!’
During the candid chat, she further claimed that she and Chris would eat spaghetti bolognese before he played a match as the footballer believed it boosted his energy levels.
Co-star Monty seemed aghast at Bec’s sacrifices, saying: ‘I don’t think I could love anyone enough to be as hardcore as that, and go ”Tonight we’ve got to eat this, we can’t have sex on this day’.
The tables have turned! Since Chris hung up his boots in 2015, Bec has moved out of his shadow, becoming one of Australia’s most well-known women. Pictured together in 2017
However, since Chris hung up his boots in 2015, Bec has moved out of his shadow, becoming one of Australia’s most well-known women.
‘For years I was always associated with him (Chris)’ she said, before adding: ‘I think I’m (now) respected in my own right as a career woman’.
The star admitted that ‘she got a lot of opportunities’ by being the partner of a famous sportsman.

However, co-star Monty rebutted the idea that Bec’s connections negated her achievements.
‘Most people get jobs… everything is working your connections, and the thing is you can have those your opportunities but not do anything with them!’
Special guest Madeleine West then chimed in, praising Bec: ‘It’s about being brave and having the skills and the belief in your abilities, and you’ve done SO much!’
‘Now Juddy (Chris) rides off your coattails!’ Monty laughed.
