Who knew they were friends? Bec Judd rubs shoulders with Sky News hosts Peta Credlin and Rita Panahi at the Australian Open
Rebecca Judd has revealed a surprising friendship.
The WAG attended the Australia Open with her husband Chris Judd on Sunday night and caused a storm with two Sky News presenters.
In a photo shared to Instagram Stories, Bec beamed with Peta Credlin and Rita Panahi.
Peta is Tony Abbott’s former chief of staff and has been the presenter of Credlin and co-host of Jones & Co on Sky News Live since 2016.
Political commentator Panahi, meanwhile, hosts The Rita Panahi Show, Lefties Losing It and The Friday Show.
Both journalists are sometimes called ‘controversial’ because of their conservative views.

Bec had previously attended the Piper-Heidsieck 2025 Australian Open media event at Melbourne Park.
After making a glamorous appearance at the star-studded event, she later sat next to her former footballer husband in the crowd.
It comes after Bec revealed she is a fan of newly elected US President Donald Trump, but not necessarily for the reasons you might think.
While she recently threw her support behind Trump’s pick for US Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F Kennedy Jr. when it comes to Trump, she is more of a fan of his prowess on the golf course.
Rebecca spoke to the Herald Sun at the unveiling of the family-friendly ’19th hole’ at the Australian Open golf tournament.
Bec admitted she missed former Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s performance at the 2024 ISPS HANDA Australian Open Pro Am on Wednesday and revealed she was a fan of the way Trump swings a club.
“I didn’t see Scomo’s swing,” Bec said.
“I’ve seen Donald Trump’s swing, not bad, but I’ll have to google Scomo and check it out then I can give him a rating.”

Before Bec even watched the footage, she added that she was confident where she would stand between the two politicians.
“It’ll be much better than mine anyway,” she said.
Speaking to the publication in October, Bec revealed she had become ‘obsessed’ with golf.
“I didn’t consider myself a golfer either, but over the last twelve months I’ve become a bit addicted, and guess what? I get it now,” she revealed. “I understand 100 percent.”
And it seems the obsession has spread.
“Our children are going to be golfers and want to travel the world to play golf and we don’t want to be left behind, so our future plan is to make our future vacations around golf trips,” she added.
Bec’s admiration for Trump’s golfing abilities comes after she threw her support behind his controversial photo for the role of US Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F Kennedy Jr.
Bec posted a message from Kennedy to President-elect Donald Trump on her own Instagram Stories and captioned the message: “Excellent. Australia needs its own RFK.’

A self-described science skeptic, Kennedy has courted controversy for his views, including the link between pharmaceutical therapies and disorders such as autism.
Trump announced that Kennedy was his nomination for the crucial HHS role.
“Thank you Donald Trump for your leadership and courage. I am committed to advancing your vision to make America whole again,” Kennedy said in the message Bec shared.
It comes after the Melbourne businesswoman raised eyebrows when she was spotted breaking bread with a group of conservative Australian power brokers last month.
Sky News commentator Rita Panahi shared a series of photos with Bec and Country Liberal Party senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price.
Bec has become increasingly outspoken on political matters since the Covid pandemic, when she was highly critical of Melbourne’s long lockdown and dismissed then-Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews as ‘Dictator Dan’.
She publicly clashed with Mr Andrews in May 2022 over the crime rate near her suburb in the city’s Bayside district, claiming the state government ‘didn’t seem to care’.
“I’m so sick of the gang rapes, assaults and home invasions in Bayside,” she fumed. ‘We feel unsafe’.
Mr Andrews slammed Judd’s attack, saying he was ‘not interested in arguing’ with her.
He then did just that, claiming that independent crime statistics refuted her “sweeping assessments about crime patterns.”
Bec has continued to speak out on crime and justice issues this year, describing Melbourne as “woke, broke and violent”.
She has worked in the fashion industry and as a model and TV presenter.
She has four children with her husband, former West Coast Eagles and Carlton captain Chris Judd.
