Who Is Kyle Busch’s Wife?
Samantha is the wife of the late NASCAR star. She is a lifestyle blogger, author and infertility advocate. Samantha met Kyle in 2007 while working as a promotional model at a racing event, and the couple married on New Year’s Eve in 2010.
In a 2023 Instagram post, Samantha reflected on their first meeting during Indy weekend. She explained that she was a college student at Purdue working for Chevy and admitted it was her “first time at a race track.” Samantha recalled hopping into a ride-along car with Kyle and joking, “wow you got a way better assignment then I did,” without realizing he was already a NASCAR driver. She said the pair later talked on the phone for four months before officially dating.
Over the years, Samantha became well known in the NASCAR community for openly sharing the couple’s IVF journey and fertility struggles. Together, they co-founded the Bundle of Joy Fund, which helps families pay for IVF treatment.
Kyle Busch’s Children
Kyle and Samantha shared two children together: son Brexton Busch and daughter Lennix Busch. Their oldest child, Brexton, was born in May 2015 and has already followed in his father’s footsteps by competing in youth racing events and winning races of his own. Kyle frequently shared proud moments from Brexton’s racing career on social media and often brought him to NASCAR events.
The couple welcomed their second child, daughter Lennix, in May 2022 via surrogate after publicly documenting their infertility struggles and IVF journey. Samantha and Kyle were open for years about the challenges they faced growing their family and later used their platform to advocate for infertility awareness and IVF access through their Bundle of Joy Fund.
