Rebecca Judd has surprised fans by referring to herself in an unexpected way while flaunting her famous figure in a racy new video.

The AFL WAG, 42, took to social media to share a clip of herself strutting around her backyard spa in a crocheted bikini by It’s Now Cool, proudly showing off her slender, gym-honed physique.

Bec looked effortlessly glamorous in the footage, which captured her walking confidently in the revealing swimwear.

But it was her caption that really turned heads: ‘Winter fit check with @itsnowcool. This little Maori-white girl needs a tan. See you soon, Broome.’

The remark left many fans surprised – but it’s a nod to her little-known New Zealand heritage.

In August 2023, Bec reflected on her cultural background while speaking to Stellar. 

The mother-of-four, who is soon to start on The Amazing Race, revealed she is Māori on her mother’s side, with fans rarely guessing it as her heritage. 

‘Mum’s side is Māori, so we did a lot of trips to New Zealand when we were kids,’ the catwalk star told the publication. 

‘No-one ever guesses that I’m Māori. No-one. Ever.’ 

Bec said her grandfather has a large farm in New Zealand, with their family regularly enjoying a hāngī – a traditional way of steaming food underground.  

‘My pop has a big farm, and we’d have all the uncles and aunties over to have a hāngī every time we went over,’ she added. 

During Bec’s wide-ranging Stellar interview, she also spoke of her working class roots to the publication. 

‘We didn’t have much growing up and every dollar counted, so we really respected our food, our home and our belongings,’ she said.

Both Rebecca’s mother and father, Hugh Twigley and Kerry Brown, are from New Zealand. 

They lived in a small cray fishing town called Leeman. 

The pair moved to Western Australia in the late 70s to take advantage of the mining boom, before having Bec and older sister, Kate. 

Kerry and Hugh separated early in Bec’s childhood, but remain close friends.

‘When they moved, mum was 16 and Dad was 22…they were like two kids,’ Rebecca previously told the Herald Sun.

‘I look back and think, ”I can’t believe they were ever together”,’ Bec added.

Bec is married to former AFL star Chris Judd and the couple have four children: Oscar, 14, Billie, 11, and twins Darcy and Tom, eight.
