Becca Tobin: From Sizzling Cheerleader on Glee to Now

Rebecca Tobin is best known for her role as Kitty Wilde on the Fox musical comedy-drama series Glee opposite Lea Michele and Cory Monteith.

The Georgia native was on the show from 2012 until its ending in 2015.

She made her first appearance as the character in the fourth season premiere episode The New Rachel and was a regular recurring cast member for throughout that season. 

That role led to her getting hot girl status that landed her in men’s magazines like Maxim and popping up in NCIS and Drop Dead Diva.

Tobin was seen in fresh photos last week.

The beauty had on a knitted pale pink dress with buttons down the front and a cute collar as she wore her hair back along her LADYGANG podcast co-hosts Jac Vanek and Keltie Knight at the Philips Lumea IPL launch event hosted by Philips Beauty. 

The innovative hair removal device uses Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology and is now available exclusively on Amazon in the U.S. 

‘We’re booked, busy, and honestly allergic to leaving the house,’ wrote Tobin on Instagram.

‘#PhilipsPartner That’s why we’re losing it over the Philips Lumea IPL—aka the first time this genius device has EVER been available in the USA ! 

‘Smooth legs, zero appointments, no small talk. Just us, our couch, and a future of hair-free hotness. Welcome to America, Philips Lumea IPL—our lazy girl beauty prayers have been answered.’

The graduate of American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York City, has had a dynamic career.

After Glee she guest starred in Lifetime’s legal comedy-drama series Drop Dead Diva as Empress Katia in the episode Afterlife.

That same year, she appeared as Kimmee Kittson in the episode Passing the Torch of ABC Family’s sitcom Mystery Girls.

In 2015, Tobin guest starred as Blaze Talcott, a computer coder, in an episode of NCIS: Los Angeles titled Blaze of Glory.

Since December 2015, Tobin has co-hosted the female-centric podcast series The Lady Gang with Keltie Knight and Jac Vanek.

In October 2018, Ladygang premiered as a talk show on the E! network.

It has been three years since Tobin welcomed her first child, a baby boy, via surrogate.

In 2022, Tobin introduced fans to her son, Rutherford ‘Ford’ Thomas Martin, with a photo of her husband Zach Martin carrying their newborn inside his car seat on Tuesday. 

‘Welcome to the world, Ford,’ Becca captioned the shot. ‘Rutherford “Ford” Thomas Martin is here and life is already so much sweeter. It took him five years to get here, but it’s been worth every minute. Thank you to our amazing surrogate for bringing him here safely surrounded by so much love.’ 

Fans and celebrities congratulated the couple on their new addition – including several of Becca’s former Glee co-stars.

‘Love you, Ford!’ Lea Michele posted.

‘Love you all soooo much, congratulations,’ Kevin McHale commented.

Becca had been open about her fertility struggles in the past.

In the summer of 2021 Becca revealed she and her husband saw a fertility specialist and had their embryos frozen after she suffered a miscarriage for the second time.

‘In my earlier 30s, I was having an ultrasound and the doctor said, “Oh, my gosh, look at all those eggs,” so I had a false sense of confidence in my ability to make a baby,’  she said on her podcast LadyGang. 

‘I didn’t realize the weight that would be lifted the moment that I found out that I didn’t have to hurry up and keep trying and hopefully get something healthy.’ 

In November 2020, she spoke out asking fans and friends not to ask any further about their IVF journey.

‘Please don’t text me. We just need to understand that: Stop asking women about their fertility, and let them volunteer the information and read the room,’ Becca told People.

‘I know that the next couple months, there are going to be a few comments on Instagram. 

‘Like, “Is that a baby bump? Are you pregnant?” That stuff is really tough. 

‘And I can’t stress it enough that we just have to stop. 

‘We have to allow women to share their news when they’re ready, and the speculation and the questions just adds more stress and pressure to a family.’

Tobin and Martin exchanged vows in 2016 at the Amangani Resort in Jackson Hole, Wyoming in front of a star-studded crowd.

At the event was many of Tobin’s former Glee co-stars, such as Michele, Jane Lynch, Kevin McHale and Jenna Ushkowitz. Some of the show’s writers and production workers were also in attendance for the proceedings.
