On Friday, New York Rangers forward J.T. Miller’s wife Natalie shared on her Instagram stories that she and her husband were in Pittsburgh for the weekend without their kids. She mentioned that she was about to host a Mother’s Day party at their place on Sunday and was decluttering their house.
During her cleanup, she came across a mini Canucks figurine of Miller that she totally forgot she had ordered from the days when she was working on her "Cloud9" project. Natalie then shared a clip featuring the bobblehead and joked about how she had it made with a mustache.
“Ah, I can barely breathe right now,” she said. “First of all, where am I hiding this in my house when my husband comes home tomorrow? Also, all my friends are coming in town for this party and like I'm just gonna like display this in one of the beds. “
“What? What was going on with the head? Also, like the fact that I made them put the mustache because I just love his mustache. Very selfish choice for the kids, for the kids. But I'm pretty sure the kids would have given this back to me,” she added.
Natalie also mentioned that she has been cleaning a lot recently and realized that it is because she is feeling anxious. She shared that Mother's Day brings up a lot of emotions for her and her sisters and cleaning helps her feel better. She laughed about it but also said her mother used to do the same thing, so it felt like everything had come full circle.
J.T. Miller ‘in tears’ over his Canucks bobblehead
In the next clip, Natalie Miller laughed about how people were already messaging her wanting to buy it. She also shared J.T.’s reaction to the mustached figurine:
“Okay, off the topic of the bobblehead that doesn't bobble, I just showed JT and he was in tears. He was laughing so hard.”
Natalie also reflected on how the end of the Canucks seasons felt like the end of Cloud9 as well.
“And I did have like an epiphany moment that when the Rangers season ended and the Canucks season ended, so did Cloud9 and that made me really sad.”
“I know I'll do something in the future but my life is actually quite crazy in New York and we're settled but it's just like it's really busy and we're in a lot of stuff already and work is starting up before August as I knew it would and I'm very excited about that. But yeah, I don't know,” she added.
The couple had purchased a luxury suite at Rogers Arena during J.T.’s time in Vancouver which they named "Cloud 9," and dedicated it to hosting families with children facing serious illnesses or disabilities.
