The beach photo stunned fans immediately—sunlight, confidence, and a side of Samantha Busch the internet hadn’t seen in a while. At first glance, it was just another stylish post from a NASCAR wife. But something about this one hit differently. Known for her unwavering commitment to wellness, Samantha has long used a platform to champion a balanced, health-conscious lifestyle.
For long-time NASCAR fans, Samantha isn’t just Kyle Busch’s wife. She’s a public figure who has been remarkably open about her personal struggles. She ditched high-intensity workouts in 2025, opting instead for strength training and a slower, more intentional approach—one that puts adrenal health and body awareness at the forefront. The photo she posted was striking, in a sleek bikini, just a day before turning 39. At first, it looked like a glamorous moment captured for the gram. But there was something more behind the post—a dream for year #40.
Samantha’s Miami dreams
Earlier this year, Samantha admitted that age and stress had started catching up with her. “What in the world has happened?” she said in an Instagram post, kindly revealing that her body wasn’t behaving like it used to. In the past, Samantha’s tryst with infertility and alopecia has led her to confess to dealing with hormonal imbalances and sudden weight gain—things that don’t usually show up on glossy Instagram posts.
But instead of hiding, she leaned in. She revamped her entire wellness routine—new supplements, hormone testing, consistent workouts—and took back control. The bikini photo was a result of that grind and a perfect birthday gift to herself. She posted the stunning pictures on her Instagram with the caption, “Turning 39 tomorrow… so this is me dreaming out loud a walk at Miami Swim Week for my 40thBecause what’s more iconic than strutting into your next decade in a bikini? Here’s to bold dreams, big birthdays, and bikinis at any age.”
Samantha’s goal with the post was to hopefully achieve her dreams of being part of the Miami Swim Week. This is a renowned fashion event held in Florida every July, and an almost 39-year-old Samantha is gunning for a shot at it. For Mrs. Busch, age is just a number, as she continues to wow her fans with her stunning lifestyle changes. However, what makes her journey particularly inspiring is the adversity she has gone through.
Samantha and Kyle Busch‘s very public journey through miscarriage and IVF wasn’t just emotionally draining—it forced her to rethink what strength and beauty looked like. Kyle and Samantha have overcome struggles in their marriage. Miscarriages after IVF had caused these struggles. She spoke with PEOPLE magazine throughout her infertility journey on the path to having her second child, including how her husband had been there for her.
In her interview with PEOPLE in 2024, she extended her heartfelt gratitude to her husband, saying, “Kyle has always been my rock. So many people only know the aggressive and strong side of him that he shows when he’s on track. But that guy that I know is so different from that. Every time I feel like I’m falling apart, he picks me back up again.”
While Samantha gears up to celebrate her 39th year around the sun, let’s look at her empowering journey with Kyle Busch by her side.
Kyle Busch and Samantha’s inspiring journey
Samantha, who is a vlogger, fitness enthusiast, and author, doesn’t hide anything from the world. Whether it’s embracing red meat to combat alopecia or learning to prioritize rest as a vital part of fitness, Samantha continues to evolve. By openly sharing our struggles with diet, training, and fertility, she has built a community that extends far beyond the NASCAR world.
Through transparency and personal growth, she shows that real wellness is about listening to your body, adapting with intention, and finding strength and vulnerability—a mindset as powerful as any championship win. It is not easy to maintain a body with all these complications, and Samantha has overcome all these obstacles.
Looking back on their path to parenthood, Kyle Busch recalls the emotional and financial toll of IVF in the couple’s appearance on NBC’s Today. When trying to have their son, Brexton, Rowdy says, “When we had to go through our trials and tribulations of having to go through IVF to have Brexton, we recognized not only the financial burdens of everyone but of course the emotional struggles that couples face as well going through that. So we started the Bundle of Joy for awareness as well as for fundraising.”
Since facing their challenges, the Buschs have remained committed to building community-focused solutions. In 2015, they launched the Bundle of Joy Fund, which has since awarded 131 grants and nearly $2,000,000 to couples navigating the emotional and financial toll of infertility, leading to the birth of over 100 babies. Samantha has gone on to share, “Over 10 years, we donated $2 million directly to couples and have over 100 babies born through the fund.” She also highlighted a thoughtful step they took along the way— partnering with the clinic near a military base after learning how limited fertility support is in military healthcare.
As Samantha gears up to celebrate #39, we wish her the best health and hope that her #8 can grab Cup win #64 as the best birthday present.
