Just last month, Aaron Judge, 32, made headlines when he publicly announced his impending fatherhood during a video acceptance speech for a prestigious award presented by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America. He expressed his gratitude, stating, ?I’m truly humbled to be accepting the 2024 AL MVP Award.?

The love story between the new parents began in their high school years at Linden High School in Linden, California, where they first started dating. Both pursued higher education at Fresno State University after graduation, building a solid foundation for their relationship. Although the couple married in December 2021 and strives to maintain a level of privacy regarding their family life, Aaron has openly shared how Samantha plays a vital role in keeping him grounded amidst the pressures and challenges of his successful career in Major League Baseball.
