Edmonton Oilers’ goaltender Stuart Skinner and his wife Chloe have welcomed a new addition to their family—a healthy baby boy! The couple, who tied the knot in 2020, shared the joyous news on social media, accompanied by a heartwarming photo of the newborn cradled in Stuart’s arms.
“Welcome to the world, little man!” Stuart captioned the post, his excitement palpable. “We’re beyond blessed to have you in our lives.”
The arrival of their son has filled the Skinners’ home with a newfound sense of happiness. “It’s surreal,” Chloe shared in an interview. “Holding him for the first time, seeing Stuart with him—it’s a moment I’ll never forget. We’re so grateful for all the love and support from our family and friends.”
Stuart, who has become a key player for the Oilers, expressed how becoming a father has changed his perspective. “It’s a new kind of motivation,” he said. “I want to be the best dad I can be, and that starts with being the best person and player I can be. This little guy has already given me so much purpose.”
Teammates and fans alike have flooded the couple with congratulatory messages. “Can’t wait to see the little future goalie,” joked Connor McDavid in a comment on Stuart’s post.
As the Skinner family adjusts to life with their newborn, they’re embracing every moment of this special time together, excited for the future and the adventures it will bring.
