Rebecca Judd has revealed she may not attend the 2026 Brownlow Medal, hinting her husband Chris Judd could walk the red carpet with a very different plus-one this year.
The AFL WAG, whose glamorous appearances at the league's night of nights have become almost as talked about as the award itself, suggested the couple's eldest son Oscar, 15, could take her place.
Speaking to Stellar magazine, Bec said the Judd children are eager to experience the prestigious event for themselves.
'I think my husband might take Oscar if he's allowed to go at his age,' she said.
Bec, 43, first became a household name at the 2004 Brownlow Medal when she stepped out in a red gown featuring a plunging neckline, a look that remains one of the event's most memorable fashion moments.

The outfit, which boasted a neckline that dipped below her belly button and a daring thigh split, was created by Perth designer Ruth Tarvydas, and was valued at $2,000.
In 2024, Bec revealed what happened to the famous gown after she strutted down the red carpet wearing it before dozens of flashing cameras.
'The dress was given to charity which was auctioned off and I have not seen it since that night,' she told Zen Design.
However, she has since been reunited with the standout look and reflected on the incredible reaction to the career-making night.
'I had this red dress on, walked onto the red carpet and everyone had this reaction like "wow!",' she recalled.
'And I thought "okay, this dress is quite something".'
In a video, Bec was then nearly brought to tears as she was finally reunited with the stunning dress 20 years later.
