Sam Bracksieck, Judge’s wife, was one fan who paid extra close attention to his epic home run chase.
Judge told the New York Post, “My wife has been with me through it all, and she’s as calm as a cucumber, that’s for sure.” This came after he tied Maris’s record.
Judge signed a $360 million, nine-year deal with the Yankees in December 2022. He was also named leader of the team.
When Judge spoke to the press, Bracksieck joined him on stage and said, “Thank you to everyone, my wife, Samantha.” “[My wife and I] came to the decision that was in our hearts, which is we belong in New York, we belong in this city.”

Judge and she have been together since at least 2014.
Judge and Bracksieck don’t talk about their relationship on social media very often, but Bracksieck first showed up on Judge’s Instagram account in November 2014. In the picture collage, the couple and Judge’s parents were all seen running a 5K on Thanksgiving Day.
“Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, and always be thankful for what you have!” Judge wrote in the post’s title, “#GodBless #5k.”
Aside from that post from 2014, Bracksieck is almost never seen on Judge’s social media. She has only been on his Instagram page once before, in July 2022, when they were in Los Angeles for the MLB All-Star Break.
“We had a great time in LA during the All-Star break!” All fans, not just Yankee fans, deserve a big thank you for making this one of the best years ever. It’s time to play the second half!”⭐⭐⭐⭐,” the baseball player wrote next to the pictures.
In 2021, she married Judge.
The Daily Mail says Judge and Bracksieck got married in Maui, Hawaii, on December 13, 2021. It was a small, private wedding. The couple said their vows at the Montage Kapalua Bay Resort, under an amazing arch of flowers and plants that the newspaper got a hold of. Bracksieck wore a tight dress with a ruffled neckline, a detailed back, and a long veil. Judge wore a classic black suit.
The couple got married in front of a small group of people, including some of Judge’s New York Yankees friends. They never officially announced they were getting married. Yankees players Gary Sanchez, Luis Cessa, and Gleyber Torres were in Hawaii for the wedding, as seen in photos posted on Twitter.
Judge and she both like sports, not just baseball.
