"Congrats Brady and Emma," Taryn wrote and added, "Love my new bestie already."

Matthew Tkachuk was excited to become uncle and hoped to be godfather of Brady Tkachuk's baby
Ottawa Senators captain Brady Tkachuk and his wife, Emma, shared on March they are expecting their first child. To announce the baby's gender, Brady Tkachuk used a cake with blue frosting. He captured the reveal on video and shared it with his family.
"We did the cake, and yeah, I saw the color blue in the cup, and it was pretty cool," Brady Tkachuk said in March (via Sportsnet). "I'm not going to lie, it's pretty special. I sent the video to our family so they can kind of see the reactions to this, I'd say pretty special, of course. We're so lucky and so blessed for it to happen to us, and we're just excited for come September now."
Brady’s older brother and Florida Panthers winger Matthew Tkachuk was excited to become an uncle. He hoped to be the godfather.
"He's fired up. He's already expecting to be a godfather. So he already said that right away. So that's his expectation, and he'll be disappointed if not, so we'll have to figure out what to do," Brady Tkachuk added.
Brady and Matthew Tkachuk, even with their NHL rivalry, stayed close from their childhood in St. Louis.
