Aaron Judge is not exactly known for being a party animal. His extraordinary performance on the baseball diamond has garnered him respect over the years. But his star status doesn’t mean he’s the most outgoing personality by celebrity standards. It may have to do with his chosen career being that of an athlete, who take extra care of their bodies. But even in the off-season, it’s rare to see the Yankees captain out and about unless it’s to enjoy another sport.

Among the only few exceptions was the week leading up to the Super Bowl in 2020. Judge is quite the football fan, seeing as how he was a three-sport athlete throughout high school. A few years ago, All-Rise was spotted at some prominent parties with his then-girlfriend, Samantha Bracksieck. And those big parties had some equally big names in attendance.

Super Bowl Sunday in 2020 took place at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida. Before the big day, however, fans and celebrities alike indulged in some fun times. And one of those celebrities was Aaron Judge. Along with Samantha Bracksieck, who is now his wife, Judge made appearances at various parties. One of them was  Mike Rubin’s Fanatics Super Bowl Party.

Rubin is a business magnate and his company, Fanatics, is the world’s largest provider of licensed sports merchandise. So it was only natural that megastars like Jay Z, Nick Lachey, and Emmitt Smith were present. Judge and Bracksieck rubbed elbows with them after they had posed for a few pictures together.

Judge and Bracksieck are quite the charitable couple

The Yankees outfielder founded a charity organization in 2018. All Rise aims to help teens and kids become responsible citizens through grants, baseball camps, leadership programs, etc. It’s something similar to former Yankees captain Derek Jeter‘s Turn 2 Foundation, which focuses on turning kids away from a life of alcohol and drugs.

Interestingly, the Turn 2 Foundation also had an event before the showdown between the Chiefs and the 49ers in Feb. 2020. According to SportsGossip.com, Judge and Bracksieck made an appearance at the charity’s party on Friday afternoon, two days before the big game.
