A Beautiful Surprise
Sources close to the couple say the McDavids had intentionally chosen to keep the pregnancy out of the public eye to enjoy the journey in private. “They wanted to soak in every moment quietly,” a family friend said. “Lauren and Connor were beyond thrilled when they found out they were having twins — it was a shock, but the best kind.”
Lauren Kyle, an interior designer and entrepreneur, has shared limited glimpses of her pregnancy journey with close friends but remained largely off social media in recent months, fueling speculation that something was brewing in their personal lives. The arrival of twins has now confirmed it.
“Connor’s always been composed on the ice, but seeing him hold his children for the first time — he was completely overwhelmed. It was a beautiful moment,” the source added.

Teammates and Fans React
Within hours of the announcement, McDavid’s post had racked up hundreds of thousands of likes and comments. Oilers teammates like Leon Draisaitl and Zach Hyman were among the first to send their congratulations.
“From assists to diapers — welcome to the dad club, buddy!” Hyman wrote, sharing a photo of McDavid from practice with a baby emoji.
The NHL also chimed in with a congratulatory tweet: “From MVP to MVD — Most Valuable Dad. Congrats to the McDavid family!”
Fans, many of whom have followed McDavid’s career from his teenage years to NHL stardom, were equally thrilled. “Watching Connor grow into a leader on and off the ice has been amazing, and now to see him as a father — it’s just incredible,” one longtime fan commented on Instagram.

Balancing Fatherhood and Hockey
As the Oilers continue their playoff run, many are wondering how fatherhood will affect McDavid’s on-ice performance. Those who know him best say fans need not worry.
“Connor is laser-focused — always has been. If anything, becoming a dad will give him even more purpose,” said Oilers coach Jay Woodcroft. “He’s already a leader in the locker room. Now, he’s got two little ones watching him, too.”
While the NHL season is physically demanding, especially during the playoffs, it’s expected that McDavid will take a short break to spend precious time with his new family before returning to the ice.
