Connor McDavid is the center and captain for the Edmonton Oilers. He was selected first overall in the 2015 NHL entry draft. In just his second year, he became the youngest captain in NHL history.
McDavid also became the youngest player to win the Art Ross Trophy, scoring the most goals in the 2016-2017 season and has since won the trophy twice more. He met his girlfriend Lauren Kyle in 2016 after they reportedly bumped into each other at the wrong location for their friend's birthday.
Lauren Kyle was born and raised in Edmonton, Alberta, and studied at Ryerson's School of Interior Design. She heads her own firm, Kyle and Co. Design Studio and works on publishing her cookbook called The Atelier Table.
Kyle also has a passion for sports. She played volleyball in college and has been a pillar of support for Connor, cheering him on in all his home games in Edmonton. McDavid and Kyle were featured in an episode of Architectural Digest where the couple showed off their luxurious home in Edmonton.
The home includes an indoor sports court where McDavid keeps in touch with basketball and also gets his reps in for hockey. He has a home gym that has been used by many of his teammates, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, a sauna that Kyle says is a must-have, among other astonishing features. Kyle did the interiors for most of their home.
The couple also has a dog, Leonard, who, according to Lauren, is the king of the house. Both of them share a love for dogs and even have a neon sign that reads, "If you don't like dogs, get out".
Lauren Kyle and Connor McDavid recently enjoyed a vacation
In June 2022, Connor McDavid was spotted holding hands with another girl in public. Videos of the incident surfaced on social media, and fans were quick to jump to conclusions.
Since the incident, there have only been a handful of posts by the couple on Instagram, and both have been posting less about the other, atleast on social media.
To this date, neither Connor McDavid nor Kyle have shed more light on the incident and their relationship status, as they seem to keep their personal life private. The couple recently enjoyed a mini vacation during the All-Star break.
They were accompanied on the trip by Oilers' star Leon Draisaitl and his wife Celeste Jardins. The two couples had some gala time before the two husbands get ready for the second half of the season.
Despite the aforementioned video surfacing online, Connor McDavid and Kyle seem to have come to an understanding between themselves and are happy with that.
