Olympic Champion Tessa Virtue and Maple Leafs’ Morgan Rielly Welcome First Child

Olympic ice dancer Tessa Virtue and Toronto Maple Leafs defenceman Morgan Rielly have become first-time parents.

Virtue announced the arrival of their baby with a heartfelt Instagram post, revealing the name McCormick Rielly alongside a photo of herself holding the newborn, wrapped in a blanket.

A second image shows Rielly affectionately holding and kissing their baby.

Virtue had shared her pregnancy news earlier in May 2024 with a photo of her baby bump. The couple, who met through friends in Vancouver, got engaged in January 2023 and had two private weddings in Toronto and Tuscany, Italy, as reported by HELLO! Magazine.

Reflecting on their special moments, Virtue shared, “You know when something is just so meaningful to you that you simultaneously want to just hold on to it and protect it so fiercely, and also shout it from the rooftops?”
