'This kid is going to be so uncomfortably loved,' Hennessey said about her pregnancy. The social media star, whose comedy videos have amassed hundreds of millions of views, has been a vocal advocate for infertility over the years following her diagnosis with endometriosis at age 35. Hennessey got vulnerable with her Instagram followers last year during endometriosis awareness month, sharing her thoughts after her sixth round of IVF was unsuccessful. 'We have finished round 6 of IVF with almost nothing to show, it's inexplicably painful, sad, and expensive… but the thought of stopping is even harder than continuing,' she started the post.

I wish I didn't have endometriosis.'

Bec Judd makes shock confession about her four children: 'I would not recommend'
Bec Judd, 42, made a surprising admission about motherhood on her Vain-ish podcast this week. The AFL WAG shares four children – Oscar, 13, Billie, 10, and twins Darcy and Tom, eight, with her husband Chris Judd. Speaking with her bestie and podcast co-host Jess Roberts, Bec's revelation is likely to leave her youngest, Darcy and Tom, scratching their heads. 'I just think four kids is a lot. Anything over two, I think is too many,' she revealed on air. Jess, who has three children, agreed, adding: 'You know what? It's a lot of chaos. And just to spread yourself between the four of them. I don't know how you do it. I struggle with three.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Bec then gave an insight into her hectic lifestyle, admitting that it is a big challenge wrangling four children. 'It's like, we will be in the car and I'll be screaming at one of them, I'm threatening one to walk home. 'One's always injured or has some medical issue, or the school's calling about something,' she said. 'There's always something popping off.' It seems that the in-car yelling has rubbed off on her kids, with Bec admitting her children agree with her assessment. 'The kids in the car, when I'm screaming at them, just say: "Mum, when we grow up, we don't think we're going to have four kids – it's too many",' she laughed. 'I would not trade any of my kids in, but man, I would not recommend four!' Bec has never been one to shy away from sharing the minutiae of motherhood with her 725,000 Instagram followers - both good and bad. Back in January, for example, Bec took to her Instagram Stories to call out her two youngest children for causing havoc in the family's $7.3 million mansion in the Melbourne seaside suburb of Brighton. 'The last day of this bullsh*t,' Bec captioned a photo of Tom and Darcy's shared bedroom in a state of squalor. The mum-of-four rang in her 42nd birthday with a lavish party just days prior, followed by a long lunch at Montalto Winery. After a weekend of festivities, Bec returned to mum duties and was not at all pleased with the state of her boys' bedroom. Her photo showed the beds unmade, one with sheets ripped off, all the drawers in their double dressers left hanging open in a state of disarray, and shoes, toys and backpacks strewn across the floor. Two single mattresses had been added to the floor, presumably for a sleepover. 'Back to school you go boys,' she wrote in her caption. 'Considering boarding school for the twins at this point. 'I've also Googled military school and there's one in Queensland, but they're too young at this point.' She ended her caption with a disgusted emoji, followed by a series of laugh-crying emojis. It came just a week after Bec said she was 'sick' of her twins still behaving like toddlers. 'I popped my head in to see what we're dealing with today,' Bec began in a recent video, which shows dirty and clean clothes, books, and toys strewn all over the twins' bedroom. All of the drawers in a large clothing chest are pulled out, with clothes half pulled out of them and also thrown across the floor. 'How did we create these humans?' she asked her husband in the video's caption, tagging him. Bec described the messy state of the boys' bedroom as 'standard'. 'I'm packing up some s*** and found this,' Bec explained, as she zoomed in on a pile of glittery goop, which contained her sewing scissors and a stapler.

Bec Judd makes startling health confession as she aims to be 'completely transparent' on her Vain-ish podcast
Rebecca Judd has opened up about her struggle with cold sores. The AFL WAG, 42, took to Instagram on Monday to share a snap of a fever blister on her lower lip, candidly revealing that she's only had them three times in her life. Cold sores are contagious, fluid-filled blisters that usually form on or around the lips and are caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV-1). In the caption of the post, Bec revealed her battle with the incurable condition, while also sharing the unlikely person she got them from. 'I've only ever had x3 cold sores in my life,' she began. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. '1. My first at 36yrs old. '2. The day this photo was taken when I had to shoot a LIPSTICK campaign for @theskincarecompany. '3. The day I recorded this @vainishpodcast episode where I tell the story about how my Mum gave me cold sore number 1,' she wrote. 'I'm still furious,' she added. In the third episode of Bec's recently released Vain-ish podcast, she revealed that she contracted cold sores from her mum, who had one on her lip in Whistler while she and her family were skiing. Despite Bec's mum assuring her she'd 'never given it to anyone', the Jaggad founder woke up the next day with a blister on her lip. Bec also admitted in the episode that her cold sores are triggered by long periods in the sun. The mum-of-four recently told Stellar magazine that she wants to be 'completely transparent' as she discusses beauty in her new podcast alongside best friend Jess Roberts. 'I'm 42, and I don't have a line on my face,' she confessed. 'I'm telling you it's not because I get eight hours' sleep a night, all right?' She went on to say that 2025 is the year we 'stop gaslighting' women by lying about the procedures we've had done. 'You get to a certain age where it's like, come on, let's be a bit more honest. This is the year where we stop bullsh***ing everyone and we fess up,' she added. Rebecca said 'everyone should be a little honest and have better conversations around beauty, aesthetics and wellness.'

AFL WAG Rebecca Judd confesses to ANOTHER cosmetic procedure - and reveals how she avoided stretch marks during her pregnancy with twins
Rebecca Judd is slowly confessing that she's given her looks a helping hand thanks to some cosmetic tweaks. The AFL WAG recently opened up about having cosmetic procedures done after years of denying any work - and on Monday, shared one more secret from her beauty routine with her Instagram followers. The 42-year-old opened her Instagram Stories to questions from her fans, with one asking how to handle eye bags - and Bec revealed she has previously had filler. 'I've done under eye filler and it was awful. I had to get it all dissolved,' Bec confessed in her reply. 'Then I had to fix the hollowness, stretched skin and eye bags that were left behind. It wasn't an easy fix,' she added. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the . Another fan asked Bec how she deals with stretch marks and cellulite, and the designer shared her secrets. 'Good lighting!' she joked, before adding, 'Even skinny girls get cellulite.' Bec then recommended: 'The stretch mark cream I swear by is Stratamark. I didn't get a single stretch mark with the twins. 'A lot of people say it must be genetic, but my mum has stretch marks and I actually have stretch marks on other parts of my body, just not my belly. I used Stratamark every day from 16 weeks on.' Stratamark gel, which retails for around $95, is a topical stretch mark cream available from chemists. It comes after Bec revealed that she has undergone a salmon sperm facial to maintain her smooth complexion. Bec told Stellar magazine that she wants to be 'completely transparent' as she discusses beauty in her new podcast, called Vain-ish, alongside best friend Jess Roberts. 'I'm 42, and I don't have a line on my face. I'm telling you it's not because I get eight hours' sleep a night, all right?' she confessed. Another fan asked Bec how she deals with stretch marks and cellulite, and the designer shared her secrets.'The stretch mark cream I swear by is Stratamark. I didn't get a single stretch mark with the twins,' she said. Pictured during her pregnancy with her twin sons She went on to say that 2025 is the year we 'stop gaslighting' women by lying about the procedures we've had done. 'You get to a certain age where it's like, come on, let's be a bit more honest. This is the year where we stop bullsh***ing everyone and we fess up,' she added. Rebecca said 'everyone should be a little honest and have better conversations around beauty, aesthetics and wellness.' In the first episode of her podcast, Bec opened up about her own personal journey with cosmetic surgeries and enhancements, admitting to trying treatments such as the Kim Kardashian-approved salmon sperm facial. 'So I've had this treatment twice with my injector Claire McGuinness for, you know, thinning skin around the eyes,' she revealed. Bec added that it was a 'next generation' cosmetic enhancement, coining it as a 'biostimulatory injectable'. For years, the Jaggad founder has denied having any plastic surgery or cosmetic procedures done, instead pointing to healthy living and expensive skincare as her saving grace. However, more recently Bec has been incrementally dropping more hints about the non-invasive procedures she uses to maintain her age-defying visage. In June, Bec paid a visit to aesthetic nurse and former clinical specialist Claire, who offers a 'conservative approach to facial rejuvenation' using radio frequency microneedling, LED therapies, and injectables. 'Give me Kris Jenner's neck without the surgery,' Bec captioned a snapshot of her neck after what appears to be an 'Exion' treatment. The media personality showed off three rows of distinct red and swollen bumps peppered across her neck after her appointment. Exion, a type of radio-frequency microneedling, creates controlled micro-injuries and applies heat to the skin, which can cause temporary redness, swelling, and bumps as the skin responds and repairs itself.
