Who is Aaron Judge's wife? Yankees star weds high school sweetheart Samantha Brackseick

The Yankees wrapped up 2021 on quite a bitter note as they lost to the Rex Sox in the AL wild-card game in October. Meanwhile, Judge has said that being a Yankee for life “would be a wish of mine.” If the Judge and the Yankees do not agree on a contract extension, he could become an unrestricted free agent after the 2022 season.

Who is Samantha Bracksieck?

Samantha was born on August 12, 1993, in San Joaquin, California. Samantha, 28, and Judge, 29, went to Linden High School in Linden, California, and later went to California State University, Fresno together. Judge and Samantha have, therefore, known each other for about 10 years. However, according to Cheatsheet, the pair broke up in 2016 and Judge went on to be linked to a few other ladies, however, he and Bracksieck ignited reconciliation rumors in February 2019 when they were spotted at the Fanatics Super Bowl party together.

Not much is available on Samantha's social media feeds, and she has successfully kept most of her life and events away from the spotlight. Samantha, however, did get involved in a notable public incident back on February 25, 2020, in Scottsdale, Arizona. While the Yankees and Judge were in Spring Training, preparing for a 2020 season, Samantha was pulled over by a local police officer in Scottsdale for not keeping her headlights on and for going 10 miles per hour over the speed limit. It was also proven that she was intoxicated. She was then placed under arrest for an extreme DUI -- which is when one has a BAC level between .15 and .19. The legal limit is considered to be under the influence is .08, which makes the extreme level double the legal limit. 

The penalty for a DUI is strict in Arizona and one can face up to 30 days in jail for an extreme DUI. Samantha pleaded guilty but her lawyer got her sentence down to 10 days in jail. One of the 10 days in jail was already credited when that sentence was given. The nine other days were suspended days in jail. Samantha, therefore, did not have to spend any real time in jail, besides the night she was arrested.
