Pittsburgh, PA — Hockey fans, rejoice: the moment you’ve been waiting for has finally arrived. In a surprise reveal that’s lighting up social media, Kathy Leutner — longtime partner of NHL legend Sidney Crosby — shared the first ultrasound image of their baby. But what she said next has fans tearing up across the league.

“I feel weird these days,” Kathy confessed in an intimate caption accompanying the photo. “Like my body is changing, but so is my heart. Everything’s… softer now. Slower. But somehow more real than ever.”

The post — featuring a grainy but beautiful black-and-white ultrasound image — marked the first time the ultra-private couple publicly acknowledged their growing family.

👶 A New Chapter for #87

While Sidney Crosby has kept his personal life famously under wraps throughout his career, insiders close to the Penguins captain say he’s been “glowing in his own quiet way” since learning he’ll be a dad.

“Sid’s always been focused, serious, locked in,” said one teammate. “But lately? You catch him smiling in the locker room — for no reason.”

🍼 Fans React: “The Next Great One?”

Naturally, fans are already dreaming up nicknames for the unborn child — from “Mini Sid” to “The Next Great One.” Some even joked that the baby will probably be born knowing how to take a perfect face-off and give a post-game interview.

One viral tweet read:

“If Baby Crosby doesn’t skate by age 2, I’ll be shocked.”
