Samantha Bracksieck height: What is the height difference between Aaron Judge and his wife?
Aaron Judge is currently one of baseball's hottest commodities. Throughout his career, he has had the unwavering support of his wife, Samantha Bracksieck. The couple have kept their relationship mostly private. They're also rarely seen on each other's social media.
Samantha, who is 5'5'', met Aaron, who is 6'7'', while they were attending Linden High School in California. The MLB star also tried his hand at other sports like football and basketball. The couple is said to have dated in high school but ended the relationship after graduation.
After they graduated from high school, the couple also attended college together at Fresno State University in California. Samantha majored in Kinesiology and was awarded an outstanding Master's degree for her thesis. Aaron, on the other hand, played baseball for the Fresno Bulldogs.
At Fresno, they rekindled their love for each other and have been together ever since. The couple got engaged in June 2021 and married on December 13, 2021, in a private ceremony in Maui, Hawaii, after a six-month engagement. Other professional baseball players close to Judge attended their wedding.
Samantha and Aaron have kept their relationship mostly out of the spotlight. She is rarely seen on his Instagram. Samantha first appeared in a 2014 post, where she shared a photo with Aaron's parents as they all participated in a Thanksgiving Day 5k run together.
The only other instance of her being featured on Judge's Instagram is when the couple visited LA during MLB's All-Star break.
Samantha Bracksieck has brought Aaron Judge plenty of luck
Since the time Judge started dating Samantha Bracksieck, his career has been on the rise. He made his MLB debut with the Yankees in 2016. Since then, he has notched up four All-Star selections.
In his rookie season, he won the Rookie of the Year award and came close to winning the American League MVP, finishing second to Jose Altuve. He won the AL MVP in 2022 after a season that will go down in the record books as one of the best ever. Judge went on to break the American League record for most home runs in a season with 62, but failed to make an impact in the postseason as the Yankees fell short of the World Series yet again.
