Amid the New York Yankees' game against the Kansas City Royals on Monday, May 25, 2026, let us introduce you to Aaron Judge's wife, Samantha Bracksieck.
Aaron Judge is one of the most well-known professional baseball right fielders. Currently, he plays for the New York Yankees in Major League Baseball (MLB). Many consider him to be among the best power hitters of all time. Over the years, he has been announced as the MLB All-Star seven times and American League Most Valuable Player three times.
At present, all eyes are on Aaron Judge owing to the Yankees' game against the Kansas City Royals on Monday, May 25, 2026. While it remains to be seen whether Aaron can lead his team to victory, many are now curious about his personal life, especially his wife, Samantha Bracksieck. If you are one of them, we have got you covered.
According to a report by People, Samantha Bracksieck and Aaron Judge both attended Linden High School in Linden, California. While in high school, Aaron played three sports: football, basketball, and baseball before graduating in 2010. After completing high school, Samantha and Aaron attended Fresno State University in California.
At Fresno State University, Samantha studied kinesiology. And in 2017, she was even honoured with an outstanding Master's thesis in the subject. Reportedly, Samantha's award-winning project was titled Posterior Elbow Angle During the Movement Phase of Throwing in Relation to the Susceptibility of UCL Injury in Major League Baseball Players. This thesis examined elbow ligament injuries in Major League Baseball.
Samantha and Aaron Judge are known for keeping their relationship off social media. Irrespective of this, eagle-eyed fans noticed that Aaron posted his then-girlfriend, Samantha, on his Instagram handle for the first time in November 2014. The post featured a photo collage showing the duo alongside Aaron's parents, participating in a Thanksgiving Day 5K run together. He captioned the post, “Happy Thanksgiving to everyone, and always be grateful for what you have! #GodBless #5k.”
Samantha made another rare appearance on Aaron's social media several years later, in July 2022. The picture was reportedly taken when the couple visited Los Angeles during the MLB's All-Star Break. The baseball player captioned the post:
"What a time we had out in LA for the All-Star break! Can't thank Yankee fans and all the fans out there for their support and making this one of the best years yet! Time to get rolling in the 2nd half!”
Samantha Bracksieck and Aaron Judge got married in a private ceremony in Maui, Hawaii, back on December 13, 2021, as per the Daily Mail. In the photos obtained by the publication, the couple could be seen exchanging their vows under a beautiful arch of florals and greenery at the Montage Kapalua Bay Resort. For her big day, Samantha chose to wear a form-fitting gown with an illusion neckline and detailed back. She paired the gown with a long veil. Meanwhile, Aaron Judge wore a classic black tuxedo.
Having never formally announced their engagement, Aaron and Samantha decided to wed in front of their families and close ones, including the MLB player's New York Yankees teammates. Photos from the ceremony showed Yankees players, Gary Sanchez, Gleyber Torres, and Luis Cessa present there.
Samantha Bracksieck has often been spotted running the New York City Marathon. In November 2022, Aaron Judge was seen there cheering on his wife. After Samantha crossed the finish line, she was seen hugging the MLB star. A year later, Samantha returned for another run in 2023. Aaron, too, was waiting at the finish line to congratulate her with a hug and a smile. Reportedly, Aaron Judge's teammate, Anthony Rizzo, was also present at the sidelines to cheer on his own wife, Emily. During a conversation with the New York Post in October 2023, Emily revealed that she had reached out to Samantha for tops before the marathon. She said:
“I have gone to her throughout this entire process and asked her a gazillion questions about what the day looks like, what I should be wearing, what headphones, what her training looks like. We’ve ran together as well, and she’s really been a support system for me and given me a lot of good experience advice.”
Aaron Judge announced that he and his wife, Samantha, were expecting during a pre-recorded video speech when he accepted the 2024 AL MVP Award in January 2025. He said that he couldn't make it to the award dinner as they were expecting their first child any day. Just a few days after this, he took to his Instagram to announce that he and Samantha had welcomed their daughter, Nora Rose Judge. Sharing an adorable photo of his daughter's tiny feet, he wrote:
"1/27/25 Nora Rose Judge. What an incredible week it’s been, can’t wait for the memories the three of us make."
