Parents getting divorced is one of the hardest things a child can go through, and the transition often leaves deep psychological scars.

And Rebecca Judd has shared her own experience of coming from a broken home, revealing that her earliest memory is of the day her mother ‘left’ her father when she was just four years old.

During a discussion about break-ups on The 3pm Pick-Up on Tuesday, the 37-year-old footy WAG said she vividly remembered ‘dad was crying’. 

Her co-host Katie ‘Monty’ Dimond asked: ‘Do you remember your parents telling you [they were separating]?’ 

Rebecca: ‘Yup, I remember the day mum left. I was with dad, and dad was crying. That’s my earliest memory. Isn’t that crazy?’

While she didn’t go into further detail, the former Nine News weather presenter has previously said her parents’ divorce had a profound impact on her life.

Rebecca told Sunday Life magazine in May 2019: ‘Growing up, I hated that I didn’t have my mum and dad together.

‘Everyone else seemed to have mum and dad living together… I would see dad at weekends.’

Following her parents’ split, Rebecca and her sister, sister Kate Twigley, went to live with her mother, Kerry Brown, and her new partner.

She would visit her father, Hugh Twigley, and stepmother during the school holidays because they lived regionally.

‘You know when you’re a kid and you do not want to be different? That was what made me different,’ she added.

These days, Rebecca is happily married to retired AFL player Chris Judd, with whom she shares four children, Oscar, nine, Billie, six and twins Tom and Darcy, three.

The Judd family lives in a $7.3million mansion in Brighton, an upmarket suburb in Melbourne’s south-east. 

He is musically gifted, and is happy to share his talents while fathering his newborn child.

Modern Family star Jesse Tyler Ferguson uploaded a sweet clip to his Instagram on Tuesday, showing him lying on the floor while his newborn son Beckett was resting on his chest.

The little one was on his stomach, swaddled in a multicolored squiggly striped blanket with one adorable newborn foot peeking out. 

As the baby slept, Ferguson, 44, riffed on a classic song from Jesus Christ Superstar, the 1970 rock opera with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics by Tim Rice.

Borrowing from the song ‘What’s the Buzz,’ Jesse Tyler instead sang ‘What’s the fuss’ to his little one. 

The improvised verses he sang were: ‘What’s the fuss, tell me what’s happening, why do you wanna fuss when your life has been so easy?

‘…When your life is not that bad?’ the actor continued, while bouncing the baby gently on his stomach.

Cuddle time: The improvised verses he sang were, ‘What’s the fuss, tell me what’s happening, why do you wanna fuss when your life has been so easy?’

‘You get booby milk when you want it, and cute outfits from your dad!’ Ferguson concluded, nailing the rhyme with aplomb.

He captioned the snippet, ‘A cut verse from Jesus Christ Superstar,’ making sure to tag John Legend and Sara Bareilles.

John and Sara, of course, played Jesus and Mary Magdalene, respectively, in NBC’s 2018 Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert television presentation.

‘This is something I haven’t even mentioned to anyone, if we could just keep it between the three of us and you all, but I’m actually expecting a baby in July with my husband,’ he gushed.

The TV star added: ‘I’m very excited but it feels like I’m 44 now, let’s get this show going. Tik tok,’ he said pointing to his watch. 

The news came after host Corden asked Ferguson if turning 40 was a big deal and he said it was, because it’s ‘finally when you become an adult.’
