Life

Herbst's parents are from Germany. She has one sibling, an older sister named Jennifer. Rebecca's nickname is Becky, although her mom sometimes calls her Liberty. She married former General Hospital co-star Michael Saucedo (who played Juan Santiago) in June 2001. They have two children, Ethan Riley (b. October 31, 2001) and Ella Bailey (b. April 12, 2004). On January 14, 2010, Saucedo took to his Twitter page to announce that they are expecting their third child.1 She is of no relation to ex General Hospital co-star Rick Hearst (who played Ric Lansing, Elizabeth Webber's ex-husband), whose birth name is Richard Charles Herbst.

Rebecca's childhood dream was to become a national figure skater, and she has skated with well-known skaters Michelle and Karen Kwan. At age 16, Rebecca decided to concentrate on acting because she didn't like the competition aspect of figure-skating. Rebecca also has a passion for designing clothes. She has designed most of her Daytime Emmy dresses and dresses for co-stars Natalia Livingston and Kimberly McCullough.
