Reports have stated that Johnny Gaudreau and his brother recently passed away. Details divulging the tragic news have been shared online.
NHL star Johnny Gaudreau, 31, and his brother, Matthew Gaudreau, were tragically killed after the two were struck down by a passing car in Oldmans Township at approximately 8:30 p.m. on Thursday evening, August 29. According to authorities, the brothers were riding bikes on a rural road in New Jersey called Stumpy Lane when the accident occurred.
Johnny’s hockey team, the Columbus Blue Jackets, posted a statement about his demise on X earlier today, August 30. The lengthy message notes how devastated and shocked the team is by the sad news.
Boasting about how incredible of a player and person Johnny was, their statement divulged, “Johnny was not only a great hockey player, but more significantly a loving husband, father, son, brother and friend.”
They go on to highlight how joyful Johnny would be in every game he played—a joy that was felt by everybody else who got to see the late star play. Johnny always brought his A-game and passion for the sport everywhere he went.

His hockey career took him from Boston College to the Calgary Flames to Team USA to the Blue Jackets, where he served as the team’s winger.
“The impact he had on our organization and our sport was profound, but pales in comparison to the indelible impression he made on everyone who knew him,” mentioned the Columbus Blue Jackets in their statement.
The grieving team went on to reiterate how much the superstar athlete is missed by them and their community and ended their message by asking the public to pray for the Gaudreau family, who are dealing with an unimaginable loss.
The Columbus Blue Jackets also asked that the bereaved family’s privacy be respected. In the same way that Johnny’s hockey team shared a statement about his passing, the Commissioner of the NHL, Gary Bettman, shared some words about the tragedy as well.

“We send our most [heartfelt] condolences to his wife Meredith; their children, Noa and Johnny; his parents, Guy and Jane; and sisters Kristen and Katie,” wrote Gary at the end of his statement.
The devastating news of Johnny and Matthew’s passing comes after numerous reports had first announced that the accident had taken place. However, at the time, the two victims had not been identified as Johnny and Matthew yet.
A report from 6abc Action News discussed the scenario and divulged that the New Jersey State Police disclosed that the person who had been driving the vehicle that struck Johnny and Matthew had stayed on the scene after the accident. Authorities also shared that they believed the driver to be under the influence.
X was also ablaze with announcements about the accident. A woman named Elaine Shircliff posted, “Spoke with the New Jersey State Police and was informed they are getting bombarded with phone calls and cannot release any information at this time.”
She added that they could not confirm or deny the rumors that it was indeed Johnny and his brother who were the two victims.
However, on the same day Elaine tweeted her message, another X user named Steve Franklin shared an update of his own. In Steve’s update, he said that his brother, who is a police officer in Salem County, New Jersey, confirmed to him that it was the late NHL star and his brother who died.
After this tweet, Tim Peel, a retired NHL referee, took to X to say, “Reports are that Johnny Gaudreau and his brother Matthew were killed by a drunk driver [tonight]. Please pray that this is not true!”
A month after the Tom Cruise rumors, Katie Holmes has confirmed the truth about their daughter in a rare interview.
Katie Holmes stated in an unusual interview that she want to “protect” the daughter she had with Tom Cruise.
In 2012, after six years of marriage, Holmes and Mission Impossible star Cruise called it quits. Their breakup was well reported.
After the couple’s divorce, which was the subject of many rumors, Holmes retained custody of their daughter, Suri. Holmes has been candid about how little of the now sixteen-year-old has been viewed over time.
Holmes gained notoriety at the age of 19 after landing a role in the teen drama Dawson’s Creek.
In an interview with Glamour Magazine, Holmes stated, “I remember really wanting to grow as an actor and not just do things to capitalize on the moment when we were doing Dawson’s Creek and it was successful.” “I wanted to learn from other people.”
But after she began dating Hollywood A-lister Tom Cruise, the Batman Begins actress hit new heights. The media’s attention in the couple and their family intensified with the birth of their daughter Suri.
The increased scrutiny caused new paparazzi pictures of Tom and Kate’s young daughter to surface almost daily. In response, Katie made the conscious decision to avoid the limelight so as to protect her young daughter’s morals. This resulted in a pause in career that lasted till 2011.
As was previously noted, Tom and Katie split up in 2012, five years after getting married in an Italian ceremony.
Considering that they were two of the most well-known couples on the planet, it would not come as a huge surprise that the rumors went bananas. There was a lot of speculation as to why they broke up, with Holmes being thought to be wary of the Church of Scientology.
Actually, Katie used New York to file for Tom’s divorce. This was purportedly done to improve her chances of being granted sole custody of Suri because the law forbids giving parents who are at odds with one another partial custody of their child.
Once Holmes was given sole custody of the child, she was able to ensure that Suri stayed away from Scientology. Because it was alleged that Tom did not anticipate the divorce, he was unable to control the narrative, as he was accused of doing during his break with Nicole Kidman.
In any case, Holmes’s desperate desire to protect her child doesn’t go away.
Before her most recent film, Rare Objects, debuted, the 44-year-old said:
Since my child was so noticeable when she was a little child, I truly like to protect her, which has been extremely important to me. I feel very lucky to be her mother. She is a very remarkable individual.
The fact that Tom Cruise and his daughter hardly ever interacted was just made public this month. Page Six claims that the 60-year-old Top Gun star is no longer active in Suri’s life and hasn’t seen her in years.
Which do you prefer, Tom Cruise or Katie Holmes? Do you think Katie is acting appropriately by keeping Suri secret from the press?
