Who is Samantha Bracksieck? Meet Aaron Judge’s wife and high school sweetheart

In the words of Mary-Kate Olsen from 1995’s “It Takes Two,” Aaron Judge and Samantha Bracksieck have got that “can’t-eat, can’t-sleep, reach-for-the-stars, over-the-fence, World Series” kind of love.

In December 2021, the Yankees right fielder and his favorite fan tied the knot in an outdoor ceremony in Hawaii. Joined by loved ones — and perhaps some of Judge’s teammates — the couple became husband and wife at the Montage Kapalua Bay resort.

Although Judge, 29, and Bracksieck, 28, have kept much of their relationship under wraps the past few years, their romance reportedly began long before the 6-foot-7 outfielder became an MLB megastar.

High school sweethearts

Bracksieck and Judge started dating during their high school years in Linden, Calif., and later reunited at Fresno State University. Bracksieck, who reportedly stands at 5-foot-2, earned undergrad and graduate degrees in exercise science. The two are said to have called it quits before reuniting around 2019.

In October 2019, Bracksieck supported Judge as the Yankees swept the Twins in the ALDS. She was spotted in the stands with model Chase Carter, who was romantically linked to Giancarlo Stanton at the time.

Months later, Bracksieck also received support from Nicole Holder and Tori Voit, the wives of former Yankees pitcher Jonathan Holder and first baseman Luke Voit, respectively, after news broke of her February 2020 DUI arrest. The duo sent Bracksieck what appeared to be a care package.

“Blessed with the sweetest friends around,” Bracksieck posted to her Instagram in June 2020.

In the summer of 2021, Bracksieck also celebrated her 28th birthday with the fellow significant others of Yankees players while on the road with the team. In a video obtained by Awesemo.com, Bracksieck is seen popping open a bottle of bubbly.

In June 2021, Bracksieck was photographed wearing a diamond ring, fueling speculation that Judge had popped the question.

Ahead of the couple’s Hawaiian nuptials, rumors emerged that Judge and Bracksieck would wed in Hawaii after Yankees players began posting content from the dreamy locale, per Awesemo.com.

For the big day in December 2021, Judge sported a black tux while Bracksieck opted for a sleeveless white gown that appeared to feature an embellished back.
