How did Connor McDavid and Lauren Kyle meet? And their journey to getting engaged

Connor McDavid and Lauren Kyle were introduced by Kyle's cousin and McDavid's teammate back when he was in his rookie season in the NHL in 2015, after getting drafted by the Edmonton Oilers first overall.

Their relationship grew as the years passed, with Kyle constantly supporting McDavid's career. Likewise, McDavid also supported Lauren in her endeavor as an interior designer running Kyle & Co. Design Studio in Edmonton.

Last June, McDavid and Kyle got engaged. It was a special day for Kyle as she took to Instagram to share her emotions:

"22.06.23 was the best day of my life. I cannot put into words how happy I am to be spending the rest of our lives together. Almost 8 years of growth, happiness and so much love and I can’t believe we have so much more to look forward to. I knew you were my person from the day we met and I can’t wait for the beautiful life we are going to create together."

Although McDavid and the Oilers ended their season with a heartbreaking loss in the final, he now looks forward to starting a new, happier chapter alongside his wife.
