Aaron Judge Cheers on Wife at New York City Marathon
Yankees star Aaron Judge supported his wife, Samantha, at the New York City Marathon on November 1, holding their young daughter as Samantha ran the race.
Aaron Judge watched from the sidelines as his wife, Samantha, ran the New York City Marathon on November 1. The Yankees captain was among spectators in Manhattan, wearing a Yankees pullover and holding the couple’s daughter, Nora, who is 1 year old.
A video shared on social media showed Judge taking a picture of Samantha and Nora near 88th Street and First Avenue. As Samantha approached, he waved and pointed her out to their daughter. The family also met briefly near the finish, where Judge was wearing an Air Jordan shirt.
Samantha completed the race in an unofficial time of 3:29:44. She has also run the New York City Marathon in 2022, 2023 and 2025. The couple met in high school, attended Fresno State and married in 2021.
The event came after an injury-disrupted season for Judge. He played 66 regular-season games, hitting 18 home runs and recording 41 RBIs, and did not appear in the playoffs. A stress fracture in his right rib and a later right calf strain kept him out for stretches of the season.
