In early 2025, Miller was traded to the Rangers, joining Trocheck once again in New York.

Natalie shared several Instagram stories featuring special moments from the day. One showed a welcome sign reading “Mother’s Day Brunch Honoring Janet Craig,” decorated with white, pink and light blue flowers. Another showed a dessert table with cookies, sweets, framed photos and a sign that said “Sweets and Treats.”

In another click, guests, including her friends and family, dressed in floral outfits and posed in front of a flower wall. Natalie also posted a carousel of photos from the event and shared how much she missed her mom.

“Love being surrounded by my friends/family and their mamas on Mother’s Day. Missing you extra mom, but I know you would be so proud! 🤍” she wrote.

She then posted a photo of her and J.T. Miller’s three children, daughters Scotlyn and Scarlett, and son Owen, sitting together in the backyard.

“I’m the luckiest mama in the world,” Natalie Miller captioned the story.

In another short story clip, Natalie twirled under a floral arch in her dress at the party. She mentioned that the family would head back to New York the following day.
