Amanda Wallace recently uploaded a video on her Instagram Stories where Bubba Wallace can be seen fully dressed in winter gear.

“I wake up and my wife’s there. She’s like, ‘How are you feeling today?’ And it’s like, one of those days. We keep each other on our toes. We play video games together. So she’s a massive help. And then the next thing you know, clock strikes 5 o’clock and it’s like, ‘How’s it going?’ and I’m good. It just kind of blows over,” Bubba Wallace added.

Bubba Wallace will be hoping to have his mind completely cleared by the time the 2024 season begins. The 30-year-old will look to improve on a successful 2023 campaign and now that his close friend has won the championship, he wouldn’t want to fall behind too much.
