Who needs a rose when you have Aaron Judge’s baseball.
The husband of former ‘Bachelor’ contestant Bri Amaranthus was the man who caught Judge’s record-breaking 62nd home run on Tuesday.
Cory Youmans was in the right place at the right time when the New York Yankee outfielder hit the ball into the stands at Choctaw Stadium in Texas.
Youmans – who wore a Texas Rangers hat – was quickly whisked away by security after catching the ball that broke the single-season home run record for the American League.
Amaranthus, who previously appeared on the season of Arie Luyendyk Jr.’s dating show. tweeted a video of her husband being swarmed by reporters, captioning, “THIS IS MY HUSBAND.”
When asked what he was going to do with baseball, a nervous Youmans told reporters, “That’s a good question! I didn’t think about it!”
The former reality star also shared a photo of the baseball on her Instagram story, writing “that’s my man” and tagging Judge.
While the Sports Illustrated reporter may not have the heart of Luyendyk Jr. won, the pair are about to win a hefty payout for the coveted baseball.
The ball is reportedly worth at least $2 million, according to Memory Lane president JP Cohen, who has already made an offer for the prized asset.
However, he may have to fight tooth and nail for the record-breaking ball, as there’s already a list of people trying to get their hands on it – including Judge.
“We’ll see what happens with that,” the baseball star, 30, told reporters after the game, which the Yankees lost to the Texas Rangers 3-2.
“It would be great to get it back, but you know, that’s a fan souvenir. They made a great catch there and they have every right to do so.”
Amaranthus briefly participated in season 22 of the reality series in 2018. She began dating the investment banker shortly after, and the couple tied the knot in June 2021.
