He's the newest name in town, Connor Bedard. He's literally two steps ahead of everyone else in both skills and understanding of the game, such that he is rightfully considered one of the brightest young talents in the NHL. He's already drafted first overall by the Chicago Blackhawks in the year 2023 NHL Entry Draft and already made his fans sway with speed and agility, where fans now have gone as far as saying goal-scoring abilities with him.
Besides catching public attention for his flourishing career, headlines are all about his personal life as well. Fans are quite eager to know whether the rising star is single or dating, and usually, the name that appears is Emma Loken. They have been quite a stir on social media about their 'supposedly' budding romance. Is there any truth to those rumors?
Are Emma Loken and Connor Bedard actually dating?
The prospect of Ms. Loken becoming Mr. Bedard's romantic girlfriend surfaced in festering gossip when observant fans began to comment on some alleged ties between Bedard and Loken on social media. There had been no official acknowledgments of any kind from either Bedard or Loken regarding the said rumors. Things seemed to worsen for Bedard and Loken when some pictures circulated on social media that suggested there might have been some romantic overtures between them.
Although Connor Bedard keeps most of his private life very private, another name thrown into the mix is Noah Dobson. Dobson is a professional ice hockey player for the New York Islanders, and Bedard has been rumored to have a connection to him. Even if there are no concrete reports, fans believe their connection may have been forged in the hockey world. Meanwhile, Emma Loken's private Instagram account and not being on TikTok keep the rumors swirling around her alleged affair with Connor Bedard.
The rumors had some momentum with increasing public curiosity when Connor chose to address the dating rumors on the social media on November 24, 2023, when he dismissed all of it as "a bunch of BS." According to Bedard, speculation is the last thing on his mind as he wants to focus primarily on hockey, family, and true friends in his life.
A more private lifestyle due to the demands of his professional athletic career would seem appropriate for this reason. Extensive travel, training, and games would make opening a public relationship rather taxing. Therefore, not much is heard from Bedard concerning his private life in interviews or on social media.
Some fans suspect that there might be more to the undeniable chemistry between Connor Bedard and Emma Loken, but unfortunately, such suspicions are merely rumors unattended by confirmation.
