CONGRATULATIONS: Edmonton Oilers’ Darnell Nurse and Wife Mikayla Announce Birth of Twins
In a joyful announcement that has thrilled fans and teammates alike, Edmonton Oilers defenseman Darnell Nurse and his wife Mikayla have shared the heartwarming news of the birth of their twins. The couple welcomed the newest additions to their family earlier this week, marking a beautiful new chapter in their lives.
The couple, who married in a private ceremony in 2022, took to social media to share the news with a touching photo and a short message: “Double the love, double the joy. Our hearts are full as we welcome our twin babies into the world.” The post was quickly met with thousands of likes and congratulatory messages from fans, teammates, and members of the hockey community.
Nurse, known for his tough and physical style on the ice, has often spoken about how important family is to him. The 30-year-old defenseman has been a cornerstone of the Edmonton Oilers’ blue line, but off the ice, he is a devoted husband, brother, and now a proud father of three. The couple already had one child before this joyful arrival, making their household even more lively.

Mikayla, a fitness and wellness advocate, has shared glimpses of her pregnancy journey with her followers over the past few months. Her strength and positivity during the pregnancy have been a source of inspiration for many. As she now transitions into life with twins, she’s already being celebrated for her resilience and grace.

Teammates and fellow NHL players have been quick to send their well-wishes. Oilers captain Connor McDavid commented, “Couldn’t be happier for you guys! Welcome to the world, little ones.” Former teammates and coaches also joined in to share their support for the growing Nurse family.
The timing of the announcement comes during the NHL offseason, giving Darnell precious time to bond with his newborns and support Mikayla as they adjust to their new family dynamic. Fans of the Oilers, known for their deep loyalty and connection to the players, have embraced the news as a reminder of the human side of professional athletes.
The entire Edmonton Oilers organization extended their congratulations in a statement: “We are thrilled for Darnell and Mikayla on the birth of their twins. Family is everything, and we wish them all the best as they begin this exciting new journey together.”

Congratulations to Darnell and Mikayla Nurse on this wonderful milestone. Here’s to sleepless nights, endless cuddles, and a home filled with love and laughter.
