Rebecca Judd recalls the moment she first met her AFL star husband Chris during her modelling career in Bangkok.
The 41-year-old WAG shared a video of herself sunbathing on Instagram on Monday and answering burning questions from fans about her life.
In the video, she shows off her incredible figure in a black strapless bikini, applying her Spray Aus tanning mousse and talking about her romance with 40-year-old Chris.
She said she met the soccer star when she was just 20 years old, during a visit to Perth, where she was living and working as a model in Bangkok, Thailand.
Bec told how she was drinking with her friends at the Cottesloe Beach Hotel when she first saw Chris and knew straight away she liked him.
She admitted that she didn’t feel confident talking to men at the time, but she decided to approach Chris anyway and they hit it off right away.
“It’s weird, I didn’t really have many boyfriends growing up and I was really, really, really picky and when I saw him I was like, ‘Damn! I like him,'” she said.
‘I was a bit drunk, I’d had a load of red wine and I was quite confident because of it, which I wasn’t really that confident with boys before.

‘I went up to him, started talking to him – I won’t tell you what happened that night.
‘I liked him straight away. Really, really liked him. That’s it, we met at The Cot and the rest is history.’
After getting into a relationship with Chris, Bec decided to stop modeling overseas so she could spend time with him. Instead, she went to study at Curtin University in Perth, after having previously postponed her internship.
When I met you [Chris] “I was 20 and decided I didn’t want to model abroad anymore because I wanted to hang out with him, so I took my deferred university job,” she explains.
‘I went to Curtin University in Perth, did a year of journalism, film and television work and then moved into speech therapy, which is a bit of a coincidence really.’
Bec explains that she decided to study speech therapy after wanting to become a doctor as a child.
The TV presenter also shared a glimpse into her time as a model in Bangkok before meeting Chris, describing it as one of the ‘best’ times of her life.
She remembers meeting Chris when she was just 20 years old, while out with her friends in a pub in Perth during a visit to her home country when she was living and working as a model in Bangkok, Thailand.
Bec explained how she got into her modelling agency in Perth and how she found a model through an agent in Singapore, where she decided to move at the age of 18.
After deferring her university studies for a year to pursue modelling there, she moved to Bangkok to continue modelling, describing life in Thailand as ‘incredible’.
“I was 19 when I lived in Bangkok and it was one of the best years of my life, it was so much fun! Bangkok is the most amazing city, incredible culture, amazing shopping, beautiful hotels, incredible work,” she said.
‘When I lived there I did the best campaigns. I think because the production is so good there.
‘There were always so many opportunities, many international brands came to Thailand to film there.
‘For example, one day I was doing Head and Shoulders commercials for Germany and the next day I was filming a Coca Cola commercial for India.

“The work was crazy as a 19-year-old living in Bangkok, in a model house, having fun and making a lot of money. It was just one of the best times of my life. It was so much fun.”
Bec has since returned to her fashion roots, launching the athleisurewear line Jaggad with her friend Michelle Greene and their husbands Chris and Steven.
After meeting Chris as a teenager, they married on December 31, 2010 at Albert Park in Melbourne.
Since then they have had four children: son Oscar, 12, daughter Billie, nine, and twins Tom and Darcy, seven. They live in a $7.3 million mansion in Brighton, Melbourne.
