As MLB picks today would predict, Judge hit his 62nd home run at Globe Life Field, setting a new record. His wife, Samantha Bracksieck, closely followed Judge’s home run pursuit. The couple had kept their relationship discreet, but Bracksieck could often be spotted with Judge’s parents in the stands, cheering him on and sharing post-game embraces.
Judge and Bracksieck were filmed walking hand-in-hand to the press room. After tying Maris’ record, Judge told the New York Post, “My wife has been with me through it all, and she’s calm as a cucumber.” Bracksieck was there when he smashed the record days later.

She and Judge’s Relationship Tracks Back to 2014
While Bracksieck and Judge like to keep their connection private, Judge did post a photo of Bracksieck to his Instagram in November 2014. The pair and Judge’s parents were captured in a photo collage running the 5K on Thanksgiving Day.
“What a time we had out in LA for the All-Star break! I can’t thank Yankee fans and all the fans out there for their support and for making this one of the best years yet! Time to get rolling in the 2nd half!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️,” Judge wrote along with the series of photos.
Except for that one post from 2014, Bracksieck is almost never 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.
She Wed Judge in 2021
The Daily Mail reported that Judge and Bracksieck wedded in a private ceremony in Maui, Hawaii, on December 13, 2021. Photos showed the couple saying their vows at the Montage Kapalua Bay Resort under an impressive arch of flowers and greenery. Judge wore a classic black tuxedo, while Samantha wore a form-fitting dress, an illusion neckline, a detailed back, and a long veil.
Judge’s Yankees colleagues attended the wedding, which the couple never announced. Gary Sanchez, Luis Cessa, and Gleyber Torres attended the wedding, according to Twitter.
