Wife of NHL star Johnny Gaudreau, Meredith, reveals she is pregnant with couple’s third child as mourners shed tears over loss of brothers
Meredith Gaudreau and her children, Noa and Johnny, arrive for the funeral service of her husband, Columbus Blue Jackets hockey player Johnny Gaudreau, and his brother, Matthew Gaudreau, in Media, Penn., on Sept. 9, 2024.
“He didn’t have a bad bone in his body,” she said. “He never spoke badly about anyone. The most humble person I’ve ever met. Zero ego, quiet, sweet and shy. He was everything and more than I only dreamed about finding in a husband. And then he made all my dreams come true.” During the homily, Fr. Tony Penna, the director of Boston College’s campus ministry who oversaw the service, recalled seeing the brothers at the end of a weekend when Matthew had been visiting Johnny while he was at school there. As the pastor approached, he overheard the two bantering in what he described as a verbal tennis match. “This is what they were doing: ‘I love you.’ ‘No, I love you.’ They must have said it 19 times, and I’m sitting there, going, Oh, what’s going on here? ‘I love you.
“He would wake up early with the kids even on busy game days to help me. Some mornings I would try to get him to change before going to the rink for an interview, because he was covered in spit-up. But he would just say no, I like it there. He was proud of it. And off he went.”
