Rebecca was newly single. What happened next was a secret she kept for 16 years... until now
The woman, from New Zealand, said she fell head over heels for another man shortly after her split from her boyfriend of two years.
'After we broke up, I fell in love with someone very quickly, but I have kept the details of who that person was a secret for the last 16 years,' Rebecca - whose voice was altered to hide her identity - told The Edge Breakfast during a segment called the Truth Booth.
The only person who knew about her secret 30-year age gap romance was her now-partner.
'When I started dating (new partner), I kind of just put everything on the table, all my mistakes... Not really a mistake, but I guess at the time... it's kind of something I have been ashamed of,' she said.
Radio hosts Ash London, Clinton Randell and Dan Webby were all on the edge of their seats as they begged her to unveil the man she's been keeping a secret for 16 years.
'So the person was my ex-boyfriend's father,' Rebecca said, as the radio trio gasped.
'When my ex and I were together, I never thought of his dad in that way, but I think after we broke up, his dad started hanging out with me.
'We'd be in groups and at parties... and we just sort of naturally started gravitating to each other and found that we got along and we had a lot of fun together.'
Adding to the shock, the older man is a family friend so he's always around in her life because he knows her parents.
'He's still a family friend and he's one of my siblings' bosses,' she said.
Rebecca said she ended up in a secret relationship with her ex-boyfriend's dad, who's 30 years older than her.
'We just had an agreement that it was just going to be what it was and no one really needed to know about it,' she explained.
'It was definitely more emotional than a sexual relationship.'
Keeping the relationship under wraps from everyone - including his son, her ex-boyfriend - for 16 years was challenging, but Rebecca said it was 'worth it'.
'We had fun and we're still actually good friends now, so it's almost like it never happened... like it did happen, but we've just gone back to friends,' she explained.
Ash chimed in, saying: 'It's like a beautiful dream and you're not hurting anyone.
'Nothing you did was illegal. Nothing was really immoral, consenting adults, it's absolutely fine. You had a great time, but man, it's a great story, Rebecca,' Ash said.
Rebecca agreed, saying: 'Yes, it was fun, definitely fun.'
The video has been viewed more than 30,000 times - with many filled with mixed emotions over her relationship bombshell.
'Oh nah! Not the ex's dad! Boyfriend to step son,' one said, laughing.
'Omg! I'm obsessed with this segment! Obsessed! So juicy,' another shared.
'The math ain't making sense... 30 years and you got no house out of it?' one joked.
While another pointed out: 'NGL (not gonna lie), having these segments on before 9am is crazy! Kids in the car on the way to school and hearing this.'
Meanwhile, some took particular issue with her ex-boyfriend's dad for crossing the line, with one slamming: 'What the old man did was beyond disgusting.'
'Worst father,' another criticised.

Richard Madeley shut down on ITV GMB after heated clash with Rebecca Loos
The Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins contestant told the ITV Good Morning Britain host she didn't 'need to talk about this' Rebecca Loos shut down Richard Madeley on Good Morning Britain on Monday as the pair got into a heated clash. Madeley made his return t o the ITV daily news show in the recent instalment after a summer break, and had the Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins contestant on as one of his first ports of call to discuss her appearance on the current run of the hit Channel 4 show. Loos is taking part after finding herself in the spotlight again following David Beckham's 2023 Netflix documentary. The reality star, who now works as a yoga teacher in Norway, was back in the public eye after first coming to attention in 2004 when she claimed she had an affair with the former Manchester United ace, which the footballer has always denied. Rebecca, 47, addressed her stint in the Celeb SAS interrogation room on the show, as she said: "It was a little bit disappointing that there was so much focus on [David Beckham] in the interrogation room, because I really did think that going in there was an opportunity for them to get to know me. "That was a very small part of my life. It is what it is." Richard, who was hosting today with Kate Garraway, as reports the Mirror, then said: "Do you blame him? He was a married man with children, do you blame him?" He then promised: "This is the last question about David Beckham." Rebecca, becoming visibly tired of the line of questioning, replied: 'I think we should just focus on SAS.' An undeterred Richard responded: 'But that's the last question. Do you blame him?" But mum-of-two Rebecca was having none of it as she then said: 'I want to talk about SAS, sorry Richard... We don't need to talk about this, this morning, we're here for SAS." She then went on to open up about her motivation for signing up for the notoriously challenging programme, which sees celebrities put through their paces in tough environments in a two-week long training regime that replicates the UK Special Forces selection course. "I liked the fact that you are pushed to your limits, and I thought it would be interesting to get to know myself a little bit better," she said. "When I did the show, I was 46 going on 47, now I'm 48. Going through a lot of changes, as women do at my age, so they really did hold the mirror up." This year's lineup features 14 famous faces including Love Island stars Chloe Burrows, Tasha Ghouri and Adam Collard, X-Factor singer Lucy Spraggan and ex-drug mule Michaella McCollum, among others. The group is pushed to their limits by instructors Mark 'Billy' Billingham, Jason 'Foxy' Fox, Rudy Reyes and Chris Oliver. Pop star Hannah Spearritt, 44, best known for her time in S Club 7 had also been part of the cast, but threw in the towel during the first episode, as did Louis Spence, best known for his appearance on Pineapple Dance Studio
