New York Yankees star and two-time MVP Aaron Judge has now also embraced the role of a girl dad. He and his wife, Samantha Bracksieck, welcomed their first child, Nora Rose Judge, into the world.
In January, after announcing that his wife was expecting, Aaron Judge accepted the 2024 AL MVP award via video, marking his second time receiving this honor. He received all 30 first-place votes following an impressive season. His 2024 statistics include a batting average of .322, 58 home runs, 144 RBIs and 122 runs scored.
On Feb. 5, Judge shared the joyful news of their daughter’s birth — which happened on Jan. 27 — in a heartwarming social media post. Along with a photo of his daughter’s tiny feet, he captioned it, ‘What an incredible week it’s been! I can’t wait for the memories the three of us will make.’
Aaron and Samantha’s love story
Judge and his wife, Samantha, were high school sweethearts. They met in high school and both continued their education at Fresno State University. Their journey together culminated in a beautiful private ceremony in Maui, Hawaii, in December 2021. The Judge family also includes two dachshunds named Gus and Penny.
