As the National Hockey League (NHL) pauses for its annual holiday intermission, players are embracing the festive spirit with their loved ones. Among them is Vancouver Canucks forward Evander Kane, who, along with his partner Mara Teigen, offered fans a heartwarming peek into their family's Christmas celebrations through social media.
A Festive Glimpse into the Kane-Teigen Household
The model and social media personality Mara Teigen took to Instagram to share a carousel of images capturing the essence of their holiday season. The photos painted a picture of domestic bliss and festive cheer. One image showed Kane himself, diligently decorating a pine tree adorned with a large red bow, while one of his young sons watched the activity with keen interest from below.
Another snapshot showcased their elegantly decorated home, complete with wrapped gifts, chocolates, and candies arranged for the festivities. The collection also featured their youngest daughter, Penelope, celebrating her very first Christmas. The baby was dressed in a festive red outfit and a tiny Santa hat, adding to the season's charm. Teigen captioned the heartfelt post, "This holiday season’s everything to me."
A Decade-Long Love Story and Growing Family
Evander Kane and Mara Teigen have been a couple for over ten years, having begun dating back in 2014. They publicly confirmed their relationship in 2021 and took their commitment a step further by getting engaged in September 2024. Together, they are proud parents to three children: sons Iverson and Hendrix, and their newborn daughter, Penelope, who was born earlier this year. Additionally, Kane has a daughter named Kensington from a previous marriage.
The couple is known for frequently sharing affectionate moments and snippets of their family life online, portraying a strong bond and shared commitment to their growing family.
Kane's Journey to the Vancouver Canucks
On the professional front, Evander Kane's recent career trajectory is noteworthy. After returning for the 2025 NHL playoffs, he made a significant impact by recording 12 points (six goals and six assists). His performance helped the Edmonton Oilers secure a spot in the Stanley Cup Final, though they ultimately fell to the Florida Panthers in a six-game series.
Subsequently, Kane's journey led him to the Vancouver Canucks. He was traded by the Oilers on June 25, 2025, in exchange for a fourth-round pick in the 2025 NHL Draft. As the league enjoys its holiday respite, Kane and his family are clearly making the most of their time together before the season resumes.
