Sidney Crosby could be lifting the Stanley Cup over his head or breaking NHL milestones, and fans will still flood the internet with one main question: when is he finally going to propose to Kathy Leutner?The Penguins captain has been with the model for over 15 years, quietly building one of the longest-running (and most private) relationships in pro hockey. But despite all that time and despite fans’ detective-level sleuthing, there’s been no engagement ring, no proposal, and no wedding bells in sight. So why are hockey fans so obsessed with when Sid will pop the question?

Sidney Crosby’s ultimate assist: Is marriage even on the playbook for the NHL’s golden boy?

Sidney Crosby isn’t just a star on the ice, he’s also one of the most famously private athletes in the league. You won’t catch him posting a couple selfie, doing TikTok trends, or showing off vacation photos with Kathy. In fact, the two are so lowkey that even longtime Penguins fans sometimes joke they’ve never seen them together.But that privacy has only amplified fan curiosity. Every time Sid makes a rare public appearance (or when Kathy’s name pops up in the press), Twitter, Reddit, and hockey forums light up: “When’s he going to marry her?” “What’s he waiting for?” “Come on, Sid, lock it down!”

It’s not just nosiness, fans love a good fairytale.

Many have followed Sid since his teenage years, watching him grow into a franchise legend. Seeing him marry his longtime partner feels like the natural happy ending. Plus, in a sports world where many athletes’ relationships play out publicly (with proposal videos and Insta-announcements), Crosby’s mystery adds to the allure.

But here’s the thing: maybe Sid and Kathy are happy as they are. Maybe marriage isn’t the goal, or maybe they just don’t care about doing it on the world stage. Still, you can bet that the next time Crosby lifts a trophy or shows up at an NHL event, fans will be whispering the same thing: “When’s the ring coming?”Also read - Seattle Kraken’s bold move: Lane Lambert named new head coach to steer team into the future
