Connor McDavid's wife Lauren throws chic outdoor birthday dinner for current, ex-Oilers players & their partners

Connor McDavid’s wife, Lauren Kyle, hosted a stylish outdoor birthday dinner over the weekend attended by current and former Edmonton Oilers players and their partners. Among the guests were Ryan McLeod’s girlfriend Alexie Andlauer, Adam Henrique’s wife Lauren, Sam Gagner’s wife Rachel and Connor Schlichting’s partner Sami Punzo.

On Sunday, Lauren reposted a series of stories from the dinner on her Instagram. One of the stories featured a long outdoor dinner table set with neutral-toned linens, fall-colored florals and printed menus.

Another showed a close-up of the cocktail menu placed next to a floral arrangement featuring blush and burnt orange roses. A third story displayed a detailed view of the place settings, which included linen napkins, personalized cards and a centerpiece of fresh fruit and candles.

One of the reposted stories showed Lauren posing with Sami in a blush gown. Rachel Gagner also posted a picture of a cocktail garnished with basil and cherry tomato alongside a caption calling Lauren the “dreamiest hostess.”

Lauren Henrique’s story showed the full table setup taken from a different angle under the evening sky.

Lauren turned 29 this week and celebrated the special day with a golf outing. She also posted group photos, cart rides and a cake moment from the day on her Instagram stories. Connor McDavid later shared a birthday message for her on his account.

Connor McDavid’s wife recaps ‘unforgettable season’

Earlier this week, Connor McDavid’s wife, Lauren Kyle, shared a season recap carousel on her Instagram. The post included photos from the Oilers' 2024-25 season, the 4 Nations Face-Off tournament and their Stanley Cup Final run.

One of the slides showed Lauren taking a mirror selfie with a friend in Oilers-themed outfits from her brand “Sports Club Atelier.” In another pic, several Oilers players’ partners wore matching jackets in front of the brand’s signage.

There was also a short clip of their dog, Lenny, sitting in the VIP lounge at Rogers Place.

“Round up of an unforgettable season with the best group 🏒 🧡 Oil country 💙,” she captioned the post.

Lauren then posted a photo of herself streaming a Stanley Cup Final game from Athens during Celeste Desjardins’ bachelorette trip. Another showed Lenny in front of a projector screen at her new bar and restaurant, Bar Trove, in Edmonton.

Other photos included Celeste’s birthday outing, her Vegas bachelorette trip, Lauren sharing a kiss with Connor and one celebratory moment after the Oilers won Stanley Cup Final Game 4 in OT.

More pictures showed Lauren in a Team Canada jacket, the Rogers Place crowd, a photo from the night Connor McDavid’s Erie Otters jersey was retired and a playoff jacket from her brand.
