Connor McDavid's wife Lauren fumbles rapid-fire question about Oilers star's unanimous MVP season in trendy 'wagtalk' quiz

Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid’s wife Lauren Kyle made an appearance at a practice session earlier this week and ended up in the spotlight after being featured in an Instagram video from the popular lifestyle account ‘WAGTalk’.

During the segment “How well do you know your NHL husband?”, Lauren took on a rapid-fire quiz about McDavid’s career highlights and personal trivia. She breezed through several questions, correctly recalling that McDavid was drafted in 2015 and played for the Erie Otters and Toronto Marlboros in his youth. She also nailed the questions about his career-high points in a single season (153) and his Hart Trophy wins (three).

However, when asked about the year McDavid became a unanimous MVP, Lauren hesitated before answering “2022.” The interviewer corrected her, saying, "2021." They both laughed off the moment as the quiz wrapped up with some lighthearted personal questions, including McDavid’s nicknames “Davo” and the more familiar “McJesus”.

The host also asked how the couple first met, with Lauren saying they were introduced through a cousin. She shared that her first impression of McDavid was how “comfortable” they felt together from the start.

“Ooh, I thought that we had a lot in common, and that we were very comfortable with each other right off the bat,” she said.

Lauren Kyle and Connor McDavid tied the knot last year during the offseason in a destination wedding in Muskoka, Ontario. The event was attended by several of McDavid's teammates, close friends and family.

Connor McDavid’s wife hosted team dinner

Earlier this month, Lauren Kyle hosted a Thanksgiving dinner, which was attended by several Edmonton Oilers players and their partners.

The event took place over the Canadian Thanksgiving weekend, with Lauren sharing photos and reposting Instagram stories on Oct. 12. Snaps from the dinner featured a long table set with cream linens, woven placemats, white pumpkins, and amber floral arrangements.

A story posted initially by Vasily Podkolzin’s wife Sasha showed the whole table setting with the autumn-themed décor. Kasperi Kapanen’s wife Matleena Laakso shared a photo of the centerpiece captioned “Happy Thanksgiving,” while Leon Draisaitl’s wife Celeste Desjardins posted additional moments from the evening at the McDavid residence.

Lauren captioned one of her own stories “Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃🧡”. Her final images showed players and their families seated together around the table during the holiday meal.
