Johnny Gaudreau’s wife Meredith announces birth of their third baby — seven months after his death

Johnny Gaudreau’s wife, Meredith, has given birth to their third baby, seven months after her husband and his brother Matthew were killed while cycling.

Meredith, who announced she was pregnant while delivering her husband’s eulogy, took to her Instagram on Monday to announce the news of her newborn son, Carter Michael Gaudreau.

“I had our third baby! 4/1/25. Another baby boy,” she wrote next to a carousel of her at home and in the hospital.

“Carter Michael Gaudreau — same middle name as his daddy. 8lb 3 ounces, 20.5 inches — exact same as his daddy. He looks exactly like his daddy, too. I love you so much my baby! We are going to have so much fun. I can’t wait to give you the best life, my special boy forever.”

The post featured pictures of Meredith holding Carter with her three-year-old daughter, Noa, and her 14-month-old son, Johnny Jr., whom she welcomed with her late NHL star husband.

In late August 2024, the Gaudreau brothers were tragically struck by a drunk driver on the eve of their sister’s wedding in Oldmans Township, New Jersey.
