Yankees' Aaron Judge and Wife Samantha Bracksieck's Relationship Timeline

Aaron Judge and Samantha Bracksieck try to keep their marriage out of the spotlight, but their chemistry can’t be hidden.

The New York Yankees outfielder and Bracksieck began their romance as high school sweethearts, dating on and off as teenagers before drifting apart. They reportedly rekindled their flame in 2019 and have been going strong ever since.

Through all the highs and lows of his career, Bracksieck has remained Judge’s No. 1 fan. The couple have been spotted together at several sporting events over the years. While Judge is active on social media, he hardly gives glimpses of his life at home with Bracksieck.

The pair exchanged vows in December 2021 at the Montage Kapalua Bay hotel in Lahaina, Hawaii, but the MLB All-Star has never shared any photos from the big day with his fans. Bracksieck, for her part, doesn’t appear to have any public-facing social media accounts.

New York Yankees superstar Aaron Judge is reportedly gearing up for fatherhood.

Page Six broke the news on Thursday, December 26, that the 32-year-old outfielder and his wife, Samantha Bracksieck, are expecting their first child — a baby girl. The couple, who are famously private, have yet to confirm the news themselves. (Us Weekly reached out to Judge’s reps and the Yankees for comment.)

Judge and Bracksieck started dating while attending Linden High School in California. Judge graduated in 2010 and started his journey to the big leagues. It’s been reported that the athlete reconnected with Bracksieck in 2019, taking their relationship to the next level.

While they never made any official proposal announcement, the couple sparked engagement rumors when Bracksieck was spotted wearing a ring on her finger in 2021. They got married during a quiet Hawaiian ceremony in December of that year.

Yankees fans started speculating that Judge was gearing up for the next chapter in his life this past October. Eagle-eyed baseball watchers snapped photos of Bracksieck sporting what appeared to be a baby bump while attending the American League Championship Series. At the time, Bracksieck appeared to join Judge on the field after the Yankees defeated the Cleveland Guardians, according to photos that were shared via X (but have since been deleted).

While Judge and Bracksieck rarely talk about each other publicly, the duo will make the rare appearance together.

“What a time we had out in LA for the All Star break! Can’t thank Yankee fans and all the fans out there for their support and making this one of the best years yet! Time to get rolling in the 2nd half!” Judge captioned a July 2022 Instagram post, offering a look at his relationship.

The MLB star also said in a 2022 interview that his wife had a hand in helping him secure a $360 million contract with the Yankees that same year.

“I was in California. Sam and I were headed to Hawaii to celebrate our [wedding] anniversary. We had a flight at 8 a.m., so 2 o’clock in the morning, 3 o’clock, we’re just staying up,” Judge recalled during an interview with “Casa De Klub” podcast this past July. “We’re going back and forth about different offers from different teams. What do you want to do? And I’m telling her, ‘I want to stay in New York. I don’t want to go anywhere else.’”

Bracksieck encouraged Judge to call Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner.

“We call him and I’m just kind of laying it out there, like, ‘Hey, I don’t want to go anywhere. This is where I want to be if you can just add one more year to the deal. I’m set. I’m not looking for anything more, I just want one more year. I want to play this game for a long time,’” Judge recalled., The athlete then found out he was going to be named the 16th captain of the Yankees.

Jim Carrey Compares 'Sonic 3' Prosthetics to 'The Mask,' 'The Grinch'

Jim Carrey has worn heavy makeup for many of his most famous roles, but some prosthetics were more difficult to put together than others.

To play the villainous Dr. Robotnik in Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Carrey, 62, sported a bald cap and an over-the-top fake mustache. But according to the actor, the makeup for his latest role was “easy” compared to playing How the Grinch Stole Christmas’ titular holiday icon.

“There was no challenge like The Grinch,” he exclusively told Us Weekly about starring in the beloved 2000 movie. “[For] The Grinch, I had to be trained by a guy who actually tells CIA people and operatives how to endure torture. That’s how I got through The Grinch. So that was the worst one.”

Carrey was famously covered head-to-toe in green hair in the Ron Howard-directed film, and wore full facial prosthetics and yellow-colored contacts. However, Carrey played another makeup-heavy, green-colored character before playing the Grinch.

Sonic 3’s Jim Carrey Decided to Take ‘Power Rests’ Instead of Retiring

The Mask was the prep for that one, and I was pretty challenged by that,” he told Us of the 1994 comedy, in which he starred as a man who transformed into a green-faced superhero upon putting on a magical wooden mask.

Even though Carrey plays two roles in Sonic 3 — Dr. Robotnik and his grandfather, Professor Gerald Robotnik — the makeup process for the film was much smoother compared to his experiences on The Grinch and The Mask.

“The group was easy. They made it, kind of, really as simple as the process could be, and Mark Coulier and his group really, really did a fantastic job,” he shared. “And we had a blast. I mean, we just had a nutty time in the trailer.”

While Professor Gerald Robotnik shares his grandson’s bald head and mustache look, Carrey also had to wear old age makeup to portray his villain’s relative. “We had one of the most zany makeup experiences of my life,” he stated in a December 2024 behind-the-scenes video for the film, which hit theaters on December 20.

Actors You Forgot Starred in 'How the Grinch Stole Christmas'

Sonic 3 sees the Robotniks team up with Shadow the Hedgehog (voiced by Keanu Reeves) to take down Sonic (voiced by Ben Schwartz) and his friends Knuckles (voiced by Idris Elba) and Tails (voiced by Colleen O’Shaughnessey).

As for where Carrey thinks Dr. Robotnik would rank himself among film history’s greatest villains, he told Us: “Robotnik would say No. 1 and 2, at least. To me, he’s the most dangerous kind of human being there is. A loveless child with a triple-digit IQ and whose bitterness has metastasized into total villainy.”

He went on to praise the film’s cast and crew, including Schwartz, 43, whom Carrey said “makes me laugh.” He stated: “[Ben is] really funny, really great. And he does a fantastic job with this character, so he’s a wonderful foil.”

He continued: “There’s just a bunch of fantastic people involved in this production, Colleen O’Shaughnessey and all these wonderful actors that are coming through and joining up, and Keanu Reeves and Idris Elba. And it’s just growing exponentially. … It’s really fostering this really creative atmosphere.”

Sophia Bush and Ashlyn Harris had a joyeux noël in the City of Lights.

“Comment dit-on ‘’Tis the Season’ en français? 🎄,” Bush, 42, wrote in French via Instagram on Friday, December 27, sharing a slew of pictures of the couple in Paris. (Bush’s social media caption translates to “How do you say ’Tis the Season’ in French?”)

In the Instagram carousel, Bush and Harris, 39, cuddled under the Eiffel Tower, hit up museums, enjoyed cozy dinners, saw a show at Crazy Horse Paris and packed on the PDA along the way. In one snap, Bush snapped a selfie while kissing the soccer star.

Bush and Harris also celebrated the festive season with her former One Tree Hill costar Hilarie Burton Morgan. “From France to Mischeif [sic], it’s been a great couple of weeks,” Bush gushed via Instagram Story. “Feeling incredibly grateful for the humans that are my humans.”

“21 years of holidays and trouble-making,” Bush wrote via another Story post, sharing a selfie with Harris, Burton Morgan, Morgan, 58, and the spouses’ two kids: Gus and George.

At the intimate bash, Bush and Harris twinned in holiday sweaters.

“@Amazon sweaters for the win,” Harris quipped via her Instagram Story, sharing a loved-up pic of Bush sitting on her lap.

Sophia Bush and Ashlyn Harris’ Relationship Timeline: Friends to Romance

Bush and Harris were first linked in October 2023 following their respective splits from Grant Hughes and Ali Krieger. A source confirmed to Us Weekly at the time that the pair met at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity in June. Bush and Harris’ connection, according to the insider, only turned romantic after they each filed to end their previous marriages.

Bush, for her part, publicly came out as queer in April of this year.

“As I came into myself, I already felt it was my home. I think I’ve always known that my sexuality exists on a spectrum,” she wrote in a Glamour essay. “Right now I think the word that best defines it is queer. I can’t say it without smiling, actually. And that feels pretty great.”

Bush added at the time, “I don’t think I can explain how profound that is. I feel like I was wearing a weighted vest for who knows how long. I hadn’t realized how heavy it was until I finally just put it down.”

She and Harris made their red carpet debut weeks later at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
