On April 6, 2025, Alex Ovechkin broke Wayne Gretzky's record for the most goals in NHL history, scoring his 865th goal during a 4-1 loss to the Islanders. Shortly after achieving this milestone, Ovechkin celebrated on the ice with his wife, Anastasia Shubskaya, and their family in a ceremony. Shubskaya, a Russian model, has supported Ovechkin since they met at the 2008 Olympics. Their love story blossomed after they reconnected in 2015, leading to a unique proposal while she was in the shower, and marriage in 2016.
Ovechkin proposed to Shubskaya while she was in the shower, a moment she didn’t expect but fondly recalls: 'I opened the door, and he is on one knee.'
Ovechkin celebrated his historic moment after surpassing Gretzky's record with family by his side during a mid-game ceremony despite the Capitals’ loss.
