Rebecca Judd

Rebecca Judd, born Rebecca Twigley on January 27, 1983, is an Australian television presenter and model. Raised in Western Australia by parents who had relocated from New Zealand to work in the mining sector, she grew up alongside her younger sister, Kate. During her early childhood, her family lived in the coastal town of Leeman before moving to the Perth suburb of Thornlie when she was five years old. Following her parents' separation, she spent her youth dividing time between Perth and regional Western Australia. She received her early education at Yale Primary School and later attended Kent Street Senior High School.

Judd first gained widespread public attention in September 2004 when she attended the Brownlow Medal ceremony alongside her then-boyfriend, Australian Football League player Chris Judd. Her custom red gown, created by Perth designer Ruth Tarvydas, attracted extensive national media coverage. This high-profile appearance led to immediate opportunities in broadcast media. She initially appeared as a guest presenter on the Nine Perth program Just Add Water and later delivered a fashion report for Seven News in October 2006. In 2007, she was hired to present weekend weather reports for Seven News in Perth.

Expanding her television career, Judd joined the Nine Network in 2011 as the host of the Victorian travel show Postcards, a role she held until 2020. During 2013, she temporarily filled in as the weather presenter for Nine Afternoon News and Nine News Melbourne. In April 2014, she secured a permanent position as the weekend weather presenter for Nine News Melbourne, continuing in the role until her resignation in November 2016 to spend more time with her family.

Alongside her broadcast roles, Judd established a presence in fashion, media, and business. She launched her lifestyle blog, Rebecca Judd Loves, in 2012 and co-acquired the activewear brand Jaggad in 2013, helping transform it into a stylish sports label. In 2014, she created a fashion capsule collection with Skin and Threads and produced a web series, The Style School, centered on interior design and home renovation. She later joined the KIIS Network in January 2017 to co-host the radio program 3PM Pick-Up until late 2020, and published her book, The Baby Bible, in 2018. Over her career, she has also served as a brand ambassador for major entities including Myer, Adairs, and Chadstone The Fashion Capital.

In her personal life, Judd moved to Melbourne in late 2007 and graduated from La Trobe University with a degree in speech and language pathology in 2008, subsequently working in adult rehabilitation at the Alfred Hospital. She married Chris Judd on December 31, 2010, and the couple has four children. In 2023, she returned to television as a contestant on the seventh season of The Amazing Race Australia, competing alongside her sister.
