NHL player Johnny Gaudreau and his younger brother Matthew were both tragically killed in a biking accident last month and now we’ve learned that both of their wives are pregnant.
The accident occurred just hours before their sister Katie was set to get married and the wedding was later postponed.
Johnny and Matthew were taking a bike ride around their New Jersey hometown when they were fatally struck by a suspected drunk driver.
We already knew that Matthew‘s wife was pregnant, but Johnny‘s wife announced her pregnancy while giving his eulogy at the funeral.

“John and I had the best six months as a family of four,” Meredith said, according to ABC News. “These will forever be the best six months of my life. There’s specifically one week that I will cherish forever—it will be my favorite week of my life out of those six months. We’re actually a family of five. I’m in my ninth week of pregnancy with our third baby.”
“John was beaming and so excited. His reaction was just immediately kissing me and hugging me,” she added about telling him about the pregnancy.
Johnny and Meredith also share 23-month-old Noa Harper and 7-month-old Johnny Edward.
“In less than three years of marriage, we’ve created a family of five,” she added. “It doesn’t even sound possible, but I look at it as the ultimate blessing. How lucky am I to be the mother of John’s three babies? Our last one being a blessing and so special despite these difficult circumstances.”
We continue to send our thoughts and condolences to the Gaudreau family.
