Connor McDavid's wife Lauren shares sneak peek of special surprise from beau 'coming home from work'

This week, Lauren Kyle received a sweet surprise from her husband Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid. On Friday, she gave fans a glimpse of the sweet gesture in an Instagram story.

Lauren shared a photo of a bottle of wine with two filled glasses on the counter, accompanied by a handwritten note that read, “Let the liquor talk!!” She tagged her friend Rachel Dunford in the post, hinting that both she and Rachel were treated to the surprise by their husbands after a long day.

“A sweet surprise from our husbands coming home from work,” Lauren captioned, adding a teary-eyed emoji while also tagging McDavid and the other couple.

Lauren Kyle and Rachel Dunford are close friends. She was part of Lauren’s bridesmaid group last year when Connor McDavid and Kyle tied the knot in a destination wedding in Ontario.

Connor McDavid’s wife Lauren hosted dinner party for partners of Oilers’ players

Last weekend, Connor McDavid’s wife, Lauren Kyle, hosted a private dinner at her luxury downtown restaurant, Bar Trove. The dinner was attended by several partners of Oilers players.

On Sunday, Lauren reposted some of their stories from the party. Celeste Desjardins, wife of Leon Draisaitl, shared a photo of a lavish charcuterie and cheese spread decorated with flowers and fruit. Max Jones’ wife, Alexa Jones, posted a shot of cocktails set against floral centerpieces, writing:

“The sweetest welcome back dinner @laurenkyle.”

Kasperi Kapanen’s wife, Mateleen Laakso, also captured the cozy lounge setup and a dinner table filled with chicken wings and cocktails on her stories.

The stylish soirée came just one week after Lauren hosted a basil-themed end-of-summer dinner at her Edmonton home. In a reel posted to Instagram, she showed the chic green-and-gold tablescape complete with muted linens and golden cutlery. For the night, she wore a sage green Janae Gown by Lovers and Friends.

Lauren also marked the evening with a personal gesture gifting her longtime best friend Celeste Desjardins matching friendship rings. The pair, who have remained close since their high school days in Sudbury, Ontario, shared the sentimental moment in a video, with Celeste calling it “the most special gift.”

The celebration comes just weeks after Celeste and Leon tied the knot in Les Baux-de-Provence, France, a wedding that was followed by a sun-soaked honeymoon style trip to Saint-Tropez alongside McDavid and Lauren. The couples enjoyed seaside dinners and Mediterranean boat rides, extending their summer in glamorous style before returning to Edmonton for the upcoming NHL season.
