Although the Yankees’ season didn’t go to plan, Aaron Judge is enjoying his time off with wife Samantha Bracksieck.
The pair was spotted courtside at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night as the Knicks opened their season against the Celtics.
And Judge and Bracksieck were all smiles as they sat next to actor Michael J. Fox, his wife Tracy Pollan and rapper Fat Joe.
The couple, who married in 2021, matched in black tops, while Bracksieck also opted for blue jeans.
The Knicks lost the game 108-104.

The appearance comes after a hugely disappointing season for the Yankees, as the franchise missed the playoffs for the first time since 2016.
Judge was his usual impressive self at the plate, hitting 37 home runs, but struggled for his health after winning the 2022 MVP.
The slugger missed about a third of the season due to injury.
Judge and Bracksieck are known to be fairly private as a couple, although the Yankees star cheered on his wife at the New York Marathon last year.
They were also spotted at the 2022 US Open.
The couple first dated in high school and college before eventually breaking up and later reuniting in 2019.
While Judge’s offseason started early, the Rangers and Diamondbacks are now battling for the World Series title.
