Madeline Gaudreau has given birth to her first child, son Tripp Matthew Gaudreau, just four months after the death of her late husband, Matthew. The professional hockey player and high school coach passed away in a fatal car accident involving an alleged drunk driver. Madeline shared the news on Instagram with a photo of the infant boy in a blue onesie, captioning it “Mommy & Daddy’s world.” Her brother, Johnny Gaudreau, also died in the same incident.
Suspect Sean M. Higgins was arrested at the scene and charged with multiple counts related to drunk driving, including vehicular homicide and reckless driving. Madeline previously spoke about her husband’s excitement about becoming a father during a memorial service, saying it consumed his every day. She has now shared the joy of welcoming their new son, Tripp, in memory of her late husband.
