NHL Widow Welcomes First Baby Boy After Tragic Loss

Madeline Gaudreau, a widow who lost her husband Matthew and his brother Johnny in a bike crash, has welcomed her first baby boy. The newborn’s name is Tripp Matthew, as announced on Instagram via a photo of the mom holding her tiny son’s hand. This comes months after the tragic deaths of Matthew and Johnny, who were hit by a drunk driver named Sean M. Higgins.

The brothers’ funeral was held on September 9, where Madeline and Johnny’s widow Meredith gave emotional speeches honoring their late husbands. Higgins, 44, has been formally indicted on several charges related to the crash. On December 16, Madeline shared that her baby’s due date was near, sparking excitement among fans.
