Judge and Samantha always kept their romance under wraps. The couple started dating in high school. The two reportedly parted ways before reuniting in 2019.
On Dec. 11, 2021, the New York Yankees star married his longtime lover in Hawaii. The Montage Kapalua Bay resort hosted elegant outdoor nuptials for the couple.
Samantha doesn't have any presence on social media, and Judge, too, is quite inactive. However, images from their wedding went viral on social media.
