Judge, 32, and Bracksieck, 31, are very private regarding their personal life, but the two have been together for years, first meeting when they were teenagers.
The pair went to school at Linden High School in California and went to the same college, at Fresno State. They married in 2021, at a wedding hosted in the Montage Kapalua Bay resort in Maui, Hawaii, with a ceremony attended by notorious guests like the Dominican baseball player Gary Sanchez, who also played for the Yankees.
Judge revealed that in 2022 he was considering moving on to a different team, and that his wife helped him do what he wanted, which was to stay in New York and continue to play for the Yankees.
“The conversations with New York really weren’t going anywhere. She was like, ‘Call Hal. Just call him up. Tell him how you’re feeling. Tell him what you think,'" he said in the podcast Casa de Klub. Judge ended up signing a $360 million deal and becoming the captain of his team.
