Slovakian-born Tomas Tatar has served as a left-winger for the Montreal Canadiens and Seattle Kraken over the years. In 2009, Tatar was drafted by the Detroit Red Wings, where he really had the opportunity to develop his NHL career. At one point, Tatar was dating fellow Slovakian Lucia Slaninkova, and the two did their best to guard the privacy of their relationship.
However, the relationship didn’t last, and Tatar has been dating Veronika Vevuska since 2019. Unlike Slaninkova, who was a Slovakian beauty queen and was even runner-up in the 2013 Miss Universe pageant, Vevuska is much more low-key and even sets her social media to private.

Viktor married Mathilda Jansson in June of 2018, and they are now the parents of two children. Judging by their social media, the couple has a loving and solid relationship and is focusing on raising their family together.
Connor McDavid & Lauren Kyle
Connor McDavid is currently the captain of the Edmonton Oilers. McDavid is currently in a relationship with interior designer Lauren Kyle, and the pair are simply enjoying developing their relationship.
The young entrepreneur has a lot of ambition and is the founder of Kyle & Company, a design studio based in Edmonton. While they may not be headed toward marriage just yet, Connor and Lauren are also enjoying their adorable Bernedoodle (Lenard) together. In fact, Lenard even has his own Instagram account!
Jacob Trouba & Kelly Tyson
Originally from Michigan, Jacob Trouba is the defenceman and alternate captain for the New York Rangers. Trouba met Kelly Tyson in 2012 during his college days in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Sadly, the couple split when Tyson left to pursue her master’s degree in Australia.
But their love story wasn’t over. Trouba visited Tyson in Australia, and they were able to reconcile. Tyson has been hard at work pursuing her medical degree, but she found true support in Trouba. He is also incredibly supportive of Tyson, saying that “her career is as important as my career.” And with a partner as supportive as that, it’s no surprise Tyson said “I do” to the NHL star in 2020.
Jori Lehtera and Lotta Lehtera
Deep into his 30s, and Jori Lehtera is still playing at a high level. The HIFK centreman famously won bronze for Finland at the 2014 Olympics. And finishing on the top-scoring line next to Vladimir Tarsenko wasn't the only time that Jori hit the jackpot. He also found love with Finnish compatriot Lotta. She has been a prolific model in her heyday.
And while she doesn't have as many followers on Instagram as her husband, 6k followers is nothing to be ashamed of. The couple are always showing off their two daughters on social media and together, they look like something out of a Scandinavian postcard.
