AdminCONGRATULATIONS: Edmonton Oilers Captain Connor McDavid and Wife Lauren Kyle Announce Birth of Triplets
Edmonton, AB – July 21, 2025 — The city of Edmonton and hockey fans across the country are buzzing with joy today as superstar NHL captain Connor McDavid and his wife, Lauren Kyle, have announced the birth of their triplets. The couple shared the exciting news on Monday morning through a heartfelt post on social media, accompanied by a touching family photo that has already gone viral.
“Beyond grateful to welcome our three beautiful babies into the world,” McDavid wrote on Instagram. “Lauren and I are overwhelmed with love, joy, and a little bit of sleep deprivation. We couldn’t be happier to begin this next chapter as a family of five.”
The couple, who tied the knot in a private ceremony last year, have long been beloved figures in Edmonton — McDavid as the city’s hockey icon, and Kyle as a successful interior designer and social media personality. Their surprise announcement sparked a flood of congratulations from fans, fellow athletes, and celebrities across the sports and entertainment worlds.
Hockey Royalty Welcomes New Arrivals
Known as one of the greatest players of his generation — and often compared to legends like Wayne Gretzky and Sidney Crosby — Connor McDavid is no stranger to the spotlight. But this time, the limelight is all about family.
Sources close to the couple say the triplets — two boys and a girl — were born last week at an Edmonton hospital and are doing well. The names of the babies have not yet been publicly shared, though fans have already begun speculating and sending in their suggestions.
“It’s a dream come true,” said a family friend. “Connor and Lauren have always talked about starting a family, and this is beyond what they imagined — three at once! They’re thrilled, and their families are over the moon.”
A Busy Offseason Becomes Unforgettable
For McDavid, this marks perhaps the most momentous offseason of his career — not for what’s happening on the ice, but at home. After leading the Edmonton Oilers to the Stanley Cup Final earlier this summer, McDavid was already riding a high after a career-defining season. Though the Oilers fell just short of capturing the Cup, McDavid was praised for his incredible performance and leadership throughout the playoffs.
Now, his focus has shifted entirely from goals and assists to diapers and bottle-feeding.
“He’s stepping into this new role with the same determination and heart that he brings to hockey,” a teammate shared. “We’re all incredibly happy for him and Lauren. The locker room has been buzzing since the news broke.”
The Oilers organization also released a congratulatory message, writing: “From all of us at Oilers Nation — congratulations to Connor and Lauren on the birth of your beautiful triplets! We can’t wait to meet the newest little members of the Oilers family.”
A Love Story Rooted in Edmonton
Connor McDavid and Lauren Kyle first met in their early twenties and have been together for nearly a decade. Over the years, their relationship has captured the admiration of fans, particularly after they opened up their beautifully designed Edmonton home for a popular video tour, showcasing Kyle’s design talents.
Their engagement and wedding were kept relatively private, but both have occasionally shared glimpses into their life through social media. Their announcement of the triplets’ birth was met with warmth and excitement, not just in Edmonton, but around the world.
“They’ve always been such a grounded, loving couple,” said an NHL broadcaster. “This is just the beginning of a new and wonderful adventure for them.”
What’s Next for McDavid?
With training camp for the 2025–26 NHL season just weeks away, McDavid will have his hands full — balancing late-night feedings with early-morning workouts. But if anyone can handle the pressure, it’s him.
Known for his discipline, focus, and relentless drive on the ice, fans are confident he’ll bring the same energy to fatherhood.
“Three babies, three times the love,” one fan wrote online. “If he thought a power play was intense, just wait till bath time!”
Whether or not he’ll take some additional time off before rejoining the Oilers remains to be seen, but insiders say both the team and coaching staff are fully supportive of giving their captain the time he needs to settle into his new role at home.
As for Lauren, she is said to be recovering well and surrounded by family and close friends. The couple expressed gratitude to the doctors, nurses, and hospital staff who supported them throughout the pregnancy and delivery.
A City Celebrates With Them
In a city where hockey often feels like a religion, the birth of Connor McDavid’s children has struck a deeply emotional chord with fans. Edmonton has watched McDavid grow from a teenage phenom into the face of the franchise — and now, into a father.
As one banner outside Rogers Place read this morning: “Three New Little Oilers — Welcome to the Family!”
Congratulations to Connor and Lauren — and welcome to the world, little ones.
