Aaron Judge, wife Samantha Bracksieck enjoy Knicks date night
It was a starry date night for Aaron Judge and his wife, Samantha Bracksieck, on Wednesday.
The Yankees superstar and his biggest supporter took in the Knicks’ season-opener at Madison Square Garden, where they sat courtside beside actor Michael J. Fox and his wife, Tracy Pollan, and rapper Fat Joe.
Dressed in a black jacket with a matching shirt and dark jeans, Judge smiled next to Bracksieck, who paired her black top with light-wash jeans.
The couple cozied up to one another as the Knicks dropped their season opener to the Celtics, 108-104.
Though it is the offseason for Judge, the 31-year-old outfielder is already looking ahead to 2024 following a disappointing year for the Bombers, who failed to reach the playoffs.
“It’s definitely been a busy offseason. I think a lot of it is about taking care of a couple steps,” Judge told The Post’s Jenna Lemoncelli on Tuesday.
“There are a lot of steps I gotta take and I think just having those conversations and getting everything rolling with this extra month we get off in October — I’m looking forward to it.”
Judge said “99 percent” of his offseason will revolve around preparation for next season, but he would take some time to relax.
“Spending some family time and just kinda resetting so my body and mind are ready for the next season,” Judge said. “I’m not doing too much… A short vacation, a short one.
Judge, who was vocal about being involved in internal talks with the team, believes good things are in store for the Yankees next season.
“I think it’s going to be a great season next year, and it’s going to be a great offseason for us. It’s tough not playing in October, but I think this time will help us get ready for the season,” he said.
In the meantime, Judge will be savoring the time spent with Bracksieck, whom he married in 2021.
The couple, who tied the knot in a lavish ceremony in Hawaii, will celebrate their second wedding anniversary in December.
