Australians have watched Rebekah Elmaloglou play Terese Willis on Neighbours and Sophie Simpson on Home and Away, but now she’s embracing the jungle life on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! in 2026.
While we don’t know how Rebekah fair in the jungle given she’s never camped, or even slept in a sleeping bag. Only a few days in, and Rebekah called camp a “hell hole!”
“This is a form of torture,” Rebekah said in a I’m A Celebrity 2026 promo.
Perhaps a few more meditation sessions with Luke Bateman will encourage Rebekah to embrace the jungle life.
Meanwhile, we viewers, who watch comfortably from our couches, are growing more curious about the Australian actress. Below is everything we know about Rebekah Elmaloglou’s family, including her connection to an Oscar-winning actress.
Is Rebekah Elmaloglou married?
Rebekah is a happily married woman, celebrating 16 years of wedded bliss in June 2025.
She married her soulmate, Kane Baker in an intimate Byron Bay ceremony – the location of where they first fell in love.
“It was everything we had hoped for, exactly what we had pictured,” Rebekah told Woman’s Day in 2009. “And the best thing was that it wasn’t contrived at all. Instead, it all just flowed beautifully and we didn’t have to worry about anything.”
Rebekah gets candid about her husband’s mental health on I’m a Celebrity
On an epsiode of I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, Rebekah opened up about her husband’s mental health.
He was diagnosed with Bipolar Type 1 and the process has been “traumatic”.
“My husband was diagnosed with bipolar 1 a couple of years ago,” she shared in the episode.
She continued that he has suffered “very serious psycotic epsiodes” and it has been a “difficult” and “traumatic” time for her family.
For that reason her charity for the show is Sane Australia which supports people with complex mental health issues and their support network.
“There’s still so much stigma…and no support…It’s an isolating disease…we need more support.”
Does Rebekah Elmaloglou have any children?
In 2008, Rebekah welcomed her first child, a son named Kai Baker, with husband Kane.
Kai, now a teenager, has even followed in his mother’s footsteps with roles in Neighbours, Sick Day, and Full Story.
Who is Rebekah Elmaloglou’s Oscar-winning relative?
Rebekah is related to English actress, beloved for her roles in the James Bond franchise, Dame Judi Dench.
“She’s my mum’s second cousin, my grandmother’s first cousin,” Rebekah told news.com.au. “We’re not awfully close but we’re close enough.”
“All the Dench women in my family look very, very similar. My mum’s very similar to Judi, so that’s lovely.”
The Neighbours star has met with Judi in person, and added that she’s close with her daughter, Finty Williams. Finty’s real name is actually Tara Cressida, but her father coined the nickname and it stuck!
