New York Yankees star Aaron Judge and his wife Samantha Bracksieck are reportedly expecting their first child together. Page Six reported on Thursday night that the high school sweethearts are set to welcome a baby girl. It comes less than two months after Judge and the Yankees suffered heartbreak in the World Series when they were beaten by the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Big-hitting Judge and Bracksieck are high school sweethearts, having met in Linden, California. She first appeared on his Instagram account in 2014 and they both would go on to study at Fresno State University. Bracksieck was honored in 2017 for writing a master’s thesis in kinesiology. The project looked at elbow ligament injuries in Major League Baseball.
The couple got married in a private ceremony at the Montage Kapalua Bay Resort in Maui, Hawaii in December 2021. Plenty of Yankees players were in attendance. Bracksieck was arrested in October 2020 for extreme DUI and four other charges while in Arizona for spring training. She was pulled over because her headlights were off.
Embarrassingly, she even namechecked Judge to police officers during the arrest, asking them: ‘Do you know who my boyfriend is?’ The couple are regular attendees at New York sports events, appearing at New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets games, as well as the US Open. Judge lit up The Bronx again last season, winning his second American League MVP award.
