For more than a decade, the duo have been together, witnessing every phenomenal moment in Judge’s MLB career. Judge told the New York Post, “my wife has been with me through it all, and she’s calm as a cucumber that’s for sure.”
During a press conference, when Judge signed a nine-year, $360 million contract with the Yankees, and was also named the captain, he thanked his wife.
“Thank you to everybody, my wife, Samantha…we came to tbe decision that was in our hearts, that we belong in NewYork, we belong to this city” he said, while Bracksieck was joined backstage.

The duo then studied at Fresno State University in California. Bracksieck studied kinesiology and was even honoured for her master’s thesis in 2017, titled, “Posterior Elbow Angle During the Movement Phase of Throwing in Relation to the Susceptibility of UCL Injury in Major League Baseball Players.”
The duo kept their relationship private on social media, making only a few appearances.
