There’s nothing like a stroll on Rodeo Drive to get the blood flowing before a huge series.
Aaron Judge and his wife, Samantha Bracksieck, did some shopping on the high-end strip in Beverly Hills before the Yankees superstar suits up for a three-game series against the Dodgers, which begins Friday.
The high school sweethearts, who tied the knot in December 2021, were photographed holding hands while the right-fielder carried Prada shopping bags.
Judge and Bracksieck both coordinated in black athleisure ensembles and white sneakers.
The brunette donned Prada shades and shoes by the Italian luxury brand, while the 6-foot-7 slugger wore a white baseball hat by Siegelman Stable, a family-owned brand that fuses racing and luxury fashion.
It’s unclear what was purchased during the shopping trip, although it’s likely Judge isn’t worried about the designer expenses after his historic deal.
In December, the then-free-agent superstar and the Yankees agreed to a nine-year, $360 million contract.
At the time, Bracksieck supported Judge at a press conference to announce his new contract.
She was all smiles as Judge was named the 16th captain in franchise history — and the team’s first since Derek Jeter retired in 2014.
Judge said at the time he and Bracksieck made the decision together that they “belong in New York.”
“There is a lot of unfinished business here in New York, and I’m looking forward to finishing that business and trying to leave a legacy here for the next group of guys coming behind me,” Judge said.
The couple attended the press conference, along with Judge’s parents, Patty and Wayne, after returning from their Hawaiian vacation.
Judge’s new deal was done around the couple’s first wedding anniversary.
The fairly private couple tied the knot in Maui on Dec. 13, 2021, during an intimate outdoor ceremony at the Montage Kapalua Bay resort.
They first fueled engagement rumors in June 2021, when Bracksieck was photographed wearing a diamond ring.
Bracksieck was also present when Judge hit his 62nd homer to become the AL single-season home run record-holder in October.
Game 1 of the Yankees-Dodgers series is set for 10:10 p.m. EST on Friday night.
