Meredith Gaudreau Thanks Late Husband Johnny in Son’s 1st Birthday Tribute

Late hockey star Johnny Gaudreau’s wife, Meredith Gaudreau, is celebrating their son’s 1st birthday.
“Happy 1st Birthday to our baby boy! We love you so much, Baby Johnny! Already so strong and so special,” Meredith wrote via Instagram on Saturday, February 22. “‘I can’t believe you gave me a boy,’ is all John said over and over again when baby Johnny arrived. I couldn’t stop staring at how happy John was — one of the best moments of my life.”
She added, “Baby Johnny you are Mommy’s rock and Noa’s best friend. All of Daddy’s accomplishments don’t compare to the pride and joy he had in being your father.”
Johnny, who died in August 2024, and Meredith shared daughter Noa, 2, and son Johnny, 12 months. Meredith is also currently pregnant with the couple’s third baby.

“I can’t wait to give you a little sibling soon! Everything for you, Baby Johnny,” Meredith continued in her social media upload. “We love you so much !”
Meredith closed her note with an emotional message to her late spouse, writing, “Thank you, John, for giving me our boy. Thank you for our family. Crazy first year but today we celebrate.”
Meredith took the kids to watch a Columbus Blue Jackets hockey game — the team that Johnny played for ahead of his death — on Saturday. During the matchup, the crowd serenaded Johnny Jr. with a rendition of “Happy Birthday.”

“Thank you @bluejacketsnhl for helping make Johnny’s 1st birthday so special,” Meredith wrote via her Instagram Stories later on Saturday. “I know baby Johnny’s dad appreciates this and is proud of the big win!” (The Blue Jackets beat the Chicago Blackhawks 5-1.)
Johnny and his younger brother, Matthew Gaudreau, were struck and killed by an alleged drunk driver in a biking accident last summer. They were 31 and 29, respectively.
In addition to Meredith and their children, Johnny is survived by the brothers’ parents and their two sisters. Matthew is also survived by his wife, Madeline Gaudreau, and their infant son, Tripp.

Madeline also shared a birthday tribute to her young nephew on Saturday.
“Happy Birthday Johnny, your Uncle Matty loves you sooooo much,” Madeline wrote via her Instagram Stories. “And Aunty Madeline loves you so much.”

Madeline gave birth to Tripp in December 2024, four months after Meredith revealed her current pregnancy during the brothers’ funeral.
“We’re actually a family of five,” Meredith said in her September 2024 eulogy. “I’m in my ninth week of pregnancy with our third baby. A total surprise, but again, John was beaming and so excited. I was so nervous because this was, again, a total surprise. But his reaction was just immediately kissing me and hugging me even though I was driving the car. After the initial excitement sank in, every time he looked at me, he would say, ‘You’re nuts, you know that? Three kids?’”
'Grosse Pointe Garden Society' Cast Didn't Know Who Their Characters Killed

NBC’s Grosse Pointe Garden Society revolves around a murder — but even the cast didn’t know the identity of the dead body their characters were burying.
During an exclusive interview with Us Weekly, Ben Rappaport previewed what viewers can expect from the series, which premieres on Sunday, February 23, saying, “It all starts with our showrunners, Jenna Bans and Bill Krebs. It is remarkable how they have woven this thing together. The rollercoaster ride they’ve taken us on is absolutely incredible. Every couple of weeks we get the new scripts and we read them and are like, ‘Oh my God, what happens next?’ And we’re just dying for the next one.”
Rappaport, 38, noted that the stars of the show were theorizing exactly like fans would be.
“But all four of us have our own very intricate story lines that branch off of this. It just keeps you guessing all along the way,” he explained. “I think that’s the thing that’s going to hook people is the addictive quality in every episode where you think you’re getting closer — but then maybe you’re not. There’s a lot of twists and turns.”
What to Know About NBC's Murder Mystery 'Grosse Pointe Garden Society'
The actor continued: “But also the tone of the show [is so different]. There’s a murder mystery at the center, but it is truly a lot of fun and there’s a ton of humor in it. So I think, tonally, it’s a very engaging and addictive watch.”

According to the synopsis, Grosse Pointe Garden Society follows four members of a suburban garden club “who find their lives intertwined by scandal, mischief and a shared secret — a murder no one wants to talk about.” As the dark truths “begin to rot their lives under the surface, they struggle to remain as perfect as the flowers blooming in their garden above.”
In addition to Rappaport, Grosse Pointe Garden Society stars Melissa Fumero, Aja Naomi King, AnnaSophia Robb, Matthew Davis, Alexander Hodge, Nancy Travis and Felix Wolfe. Despite bringing the main characters to life, no one knew where the show was going when they filmed season 1.
'Grosse Pointe Garden Society' Star-Studded Cast: Where You Know Them From
“As a cast, we just found out very recently that information [about who is killed], which of course we are sworn to secrecy about. But for a long time we did not know,” Rappaport revealed. “That’s part of what was so fun about the twists and turns. Just like the audience, they really kept us guessing. As an actor, that’s part of the reason I really enjoy doing TV. You play a character through a variety of different circumstances and journeys. I really enjoyed not knowing to be honest with you.”
Rappaport couldn’t share much about what is to come but can’t wait for others to join in on the adventure, adding, “Throughout the episodes, we go through different parallel timelines. We jump back and forth between timelines. So you’re like, ‘Wow, how did we end up here?’ Then throughout the season, those timelines begin to converge. The biggest difference between [my character] Brett in the future [and in the present] is he is very stressed out. Especially all four of us, you’ll see our most stressed-out versions of ourselves in the flash forwards and in the future scenes.”
Grosse Pointe Garden Society premieres on NBC Sunday, February 23, at 10 p.m. ET and new episodes are available to stream on Peacock the next day.

Scott Foley Is Still Obsessed With MTV’s ‘The Challenge’ After 2 Decades

Scott Foley has starred in some of TV’s best fictional dramas — but when it comes to his own entertainment, he and wife Marika Domińczyk are all about reality.
“Very little excites us more than a new season of [MTV’s] The Challenge!” Foley, 52, exclusively shares in Us Weekly’s latest What I’m Obsessed With series, on newsstands now. “We’ve been watching for 20 years and feel like we know each contestant, their fears and strengths and for us, it’s pure comfort.”
The Challenge, which premiered in 1998, is a reality competition show that started as a spinoff to two of MTV’s popular reality shows: The Real World and Road Rules. In the game, reality TV stars from both series compete in physical and mental challenges to win cash prizes. Since it premiered, The Challenge has become more successful, outlasting both of the original shows. There have been 40 seasons aired in addition to 12 spinoff seasons, and the show has filmed on six different continents.
While Foley enjoys snuggling up with his family and watching from his couch — he and Domińczyk share daughter Malina, 14, and sons Keller, 12, and Konra, 10 — he’s likely not preparing to sign up himself any time soon. But Foley’s own job takes him to plenty of exotic places, too. For his new film La Dolce Villa, the actor got to spend eight weeks in Italy — a huge selling point when it came to accepting the role.

“I read the script and was like, ‘Oh, there’s no way they’re gonna shoot this in Italy.’ And then, they said, ‘We’re gonna shoot it in Italy.’ And I thought, ‘Well, I kind of have to do it,’” Foley told Collider earlier this month. “It worked out really well. Italy, the country, and then these little towns we shot in, really was another character in this film, and it adds to the wanderlust of all this.”
The romantic comedy, which hit Netflix on February 13, stars Foley as Eric, a father who, after discovering that his daughter, Olivia (Maia Reficco), recently bought a crumbling Tuscan villa, rushes across the pond to try and talk her out of it. When he arrives, he realizes that there just might be beauty, romance and a new purpose waiting there for him as well.
“The relationships in this movie are really important,” Foley told Collider. “There’s the relationship with [his] daughter and overcoming the divide that has grown between us since the passing of my wife and her mom, and then being open to not just another love in another person, but really a whole new life for my character. To a certain degree, he’s leaving behind everything he had and starting anew. You’re getting to see the revitalization of this person and this character.”
Foley may prefer a little reality TV to unwind, but he still has Us pressing play on all his best leading man moments, from Felicity to Scandal, and now, to La Dolce Villa. Keep scrolling for a list of everything Foley is currently obsessing over right now:
‘Interstellar’
“I don’t know how I missed it when it initially came out but I’m obsessed,” the actor tells Us. “The idea that love can transcend basically anything really resonated with me. Everything from the concept to the acting to the production design is really stellar (see what I did there)!”
Foley noted that it’s Matthew McConaughey’s performance in particular that really makes the film memorable. “I also love a good heartbreak and watching McConaughey’s character [Cooper] choose to leave his family, choose to take on missions that extend the amount of time away from them … crushing.”
‘The Challenge’ and More Good TV
In addition to Foley’s Challenge obsession, he’s also a big fan of shows like Showtime’s The Agency an espionage thriller starring Michael Fassbender.
‘The God of the Woods’
When it comes to his reading list, Liz Moore’s The God of the Woods lands in the top spot — “I flew through it, absolutely loved it,” he says — but Foley has more than just one recommendation.
“Right before that I downloaded this new nonfiction piece by, of all people, John Grisham,” he tells Us. “I’ve been a fan since The Firm but this book Framed, co-authored by Jim McCloskey — who is the founder of Centurion Ministries, which was the first organization in the world devoted to freeing the wrongly convicted — this book and the stories that they tell about those imprisoned for crimes they didn’t commit has really stuck with me.”
Zach Bryan
The Scandal alum knows he’s not alone when it comes to his music playlist. “I think I’m on the bus with this one … Zach Bryan seems to be a daily listen for me,” he confesses. “We sing his songs as a family in the car.”
He added that Bryan’s music also served an important role in a mournful family moment recently: “My wife even used his song ‘Pink Skies’ on an Instagram post she made when we had to put one of our dogs down last week. Hard not to cry whenever I listen to it now.”
The ‘Pivot’ Podcast
Foley, a self-proclaimed “big podcast consumer,” says he jumps back and forth “between industry news, politics and just fun listens.” Recently, however, there has been one show that he prefers most: “I’ve been learning into ‘Pivot,’” he said of the Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway-hosted podcast. “The cover topics I care about in a way that doesn’t make me feel like I’m in too deep.”
