"It was just such a shock to both of us. Johnny learned the news less than a week before he was killed on Aug. 29, 2024. Meredith was just 7 weeks pregnant when she went to a wedding rehearsal dinner for a Gaudreau family friend."
"Matty, at the rehearsal dinner was sitting across from me, and I was fake drinking beer. And he kept looking at me, and I was like, 'I have a 5 month old. I'm not pregnant, Matty.' Matthew and Johnny's sister Katie jumped to Meredith's defense."
"The next day he was skating, and he was like, 'I can't focus on this skate. I can't believe we're having a third baby.' I think I had 20 text messages from him being like, 'I'm so excited. I'm so nervous. I can't believe this.'"
Meredith Gaudreau appeared on Kylie Kelce's podcast to discuss life after losing her husband, NHL star Johnny Gaudreau, and his brother Matthew, who were struck by an alleged drunk driver while cycling in New Jersey. She recalled surprising Johnny with news of her third pregnancy at a family wedding rehearsal dinner. Johnny discovered the truth when his sister Katie inadvertently revealed it during conversation, though Meredith had intended a more special announcement. Johnny learned of the pregnancy less than a week before his death on August 29, 2024. Initially processing mixed emotions about having three young children, Johnny became increasingly excited, sending Meredith numerous enthusiastic messages the following day.
