SHE SAID YES! Joy for the Hockey World as Sidney Crosby Proposes to Kathy Leutner in Heartwarming Home Surprise
May 30, 2025 | Pittsburgh, PA – By Rachel Langford
In a moment that’s melting hearts across the hockey world, NHL superstar Sidney Crosby has officially popped the question to his longtime girlfriend, model Kathy Leutner — and she said yes!
After years of keeping their relationship mostly out of the spotlight, the notoriously private Pittsburgh Penguins captain stunned fans and friends alike by orchestrating a breathtaking, intimate proposal at their shared home in Sewickley, Pennsylvania.
The scene? A glowing sea of white roses, flickering candles, and soft music playing in the background — a setup that even Crosby’s toughest opponents would admit was a championship-level play.
Sources close to the couple shared that Sidney had been planning the proposal for months, wanting the moment to be as meaningful and sincere as the bond the two have shared for over a decade.
“Sid’s not a flashy guy,” said a friend of the couple. “But he poured his heart into this. Every single detail — from her favorite flowers to the music playing when she walked in — it was all for Kathy.”
Leutner, who has modeled for major publications and is known for her grace and down-to-earth charm, reportedly broke down in tears when she walked into the flower-filled living room.
Sidney, dressed casually in jeans and a white button-up, dropped to one knee and asked the question hockey fans have been waiting years to hear: *Will you marry me?
“She covered her face and just kept saying, ‘Oh my God,’ before she finally said yes,” said a source present for the moment. “There wasn’t a dry eye in the house.”
The engagement ring? A classic and elegant round-cut diamond set on a thin platinum band — understated, timeless, and completely in line with the couple’s shared style.
As news broke, teammates, celebrities, and fans flooded social media with congratulatory messages. The Penguins’ official account posted a photo of the couple embracing, captioned: “Captain for life — and now, a husband-to-be. Congrats, Sid & Kathy!”
Though no wedding date has been announced yet, insiders say the couple is looking forward to a small, family-focused ceremony sometime next year.
For now, the hockey world is united in celebration — not over a Stanley Cup, but for a love story that’s truly a hat trick of heart, history, and happily ever after.
