Hi there! I'm KellyAnne Judd, and I'm excited to share a glimpse into the wonderful life my fiancé Max and I have built together. As proud pet parents, our home wouldn’t be complete without our three furry companions – Hayven, Ruby, and our long-term foster dog, Rosie.

 

I have been a recurring television personality for The Challenge, a successful competition reality show that airs on CBS, Paramount +, and MTV. I travel around the world and compete against other TV personalities with people from shows like Big Brother and Survivor.  We jump out of helicopters, climb mountains, swim miles, eat gross stuff, wrestle, and do puzzles in the air.

 

I have done these shows throughout my adult life since I was 20 years old. I took some long gaps as I wanted to work on my career in other ways, but am still competing presently. I most recently competed in The World Championship last year, which was filmed in South Africa.

 

 

Max and I actually met at our mutual friend’s 40th birthday party in Aspen. Our lives have never been the same as we fell in love that same weekend. As I was leaving the party, I messaged my best friend a picture of Max with the words, “Him. It’s this guy.” Later, I found out that Max messaged his best friend and his family when he got home that he thought he met the girl he was going to marry. In three months, I put my stuff in a West Hollywood storage unit and moved to Denver.

 

Three years ago, we moved from Denver to Manhattan Beach and have been here ever since.

  

One thing that Max and I both love to do is travel. Our bags are packed! It’s the story of our lives. We met in Aspen when Max was living in Denver, and I was in Los Angeles, West Hollywood. We both spent a large part of our youth in Texas, with Max in Dallas and me in Austin. Max even spent some time on the East Coast during his high school years in Connecticut.

 

What is our favorite vacation destination? There are too many to count! We really enjoy Munich and Berlin. Paris in the winter holds a special place in our hearts since it is where we got engaged! We also love the South of France and the Greek Islands. Closer to home, we love Montana in the spring and Lake Tahoe in October.

 

Max and I also like to take our dogs to Santa Barbara for our anniversary, which we have done for the past couple of years.  We stay at a very dog-friendly hotel, El Encanto, where we get room service for ourselves and for them! They give it two paws up.

 

On Christmas, we go home to Texas and bring our four-legged friends. This year, we had three pups with our foster Rosie. It’s a real riot traveling with all three of these giant babies, but we really enjoy it. 

When not working, we love trying new things, meeting new people, being active, mingling with friends, and helping animals. Max also loves running on the beach and playing a game of pickleball. Hiking and doing yoga are also ways we escape the hustle and bustle of life. To relax, we like to sit in the sauna, take a walk on the beach, cook together, or get a massage.

For fun, there are so many great things to do in this town! Whether walking around the Hill section and exploring the neighborhoods or visiting my friends at Viouri, Culture, un Caffé, or Good Boy Bob’s, I like to be out and about. The options are endless.

 

 

I'm passionate about making a difference, whether it's by participating in charity runs, embarking on thrilling treasure hunts across the US, speaking at public events on childhood cancer awareness, bringing blankets to people in need, or leveraging my platform to speak out against domestic violence.

 

I also have a heart for four-legged friends. In the past few years, I have been fully submerged in animal rescue as the shelters have never been more full and in desperate need of help. 

I have exciting news to share! We couldn’t be more excited for our big day approaching. We have been engaged for about two years and are finally getting married in September 2024 in Carmel.

Life has so many blessings, and I’m excited about what the future holds. My life with Max is a mix of adventure, love, and the simple joys of everyday moments. We wouldn't have it any other way.
