Sidney Crosby
, the face of the
Pittsburgh Penguins
and one of the greatest players in
NHL history
, has always let his game do the talking. With three
Stanley Cups
, an Olympic gold medal, and a resume stacked with accolades, the Canadian superstar is known for his quiet leadership on the ice. Off the ice, however, he's just as private — especially when it comes to his long-term relationship with model
Kathy Leutner
.
Who is Kathy Leutner and how long has she been with Sidney Crosby?
Kathy Leutner, 37, is a well-known American model who gained fame after appearing in the 2011 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition. With a successful career modeling for brands like Abercrombie & Fitch, Hollister, and Faviana, she's built her own identity in the fashion world. Leutner and Crosby reportedly met in 2008 through mutual friends, and they've quietly maintained their relationship ever since.
While many fans assume that a 15-year relationship would naturally lead to marriage, Crosby and Leutner have chosen a different path — one that's built on privacy and staying out of the limelight. They've rarely made public appearances together, aside from a few notable moments like Crosby's 1,000th NHL game celebration in 2021, where Leutner stood proudly by his side.
Why aren't Sidney Crosby and Kathy Leutner married yet?
The question fans often ask is: why haven't they tied the knot after all these years? There's no official statement from the couple, but those close to the situation suggest it's a conscious decision based on their lifestyle. Crosby is known for his laser focus on hockey and keeping his personal life low-key. Both he and Leutner value their privacy deeply, and marriage — especially in the public eye — may not align with how they choose to live.
Their bond doesn't seem to need a public label. As one source noted, 'They've been together forever, and that's what matters to them.' In a world of celebrity breakups and media spectacles, Crosby and Leutner's quiet, lasting relationship stands out.

Who is Nat Wolff? Billie Eilish's rumored new boyfriend spotted kissing her in Italy
Billie Eilish and Nat Wolff were spotted sharing a passionate kiss during a romantic getaway to Venice, Italy. According to photos obtained by DeuxMoi on Sunday, the pair, both dressed casually in gray T-shirts, were seen kissing on a balcony while sipping champagne, looking completely at ease together. Speculation about their relationship first surfaced in March, when the 23-year-old Hit Me Hard and Soft singer was seen out in New York City with the 30-year-old actor and musician. Nat Wolff is an American actor and musician born on December 17, 1994, in Los Angeles. He rose to fame as a teen on the Nickelodeon series The Naked Brothers Band, a mockumentary-style show created by his mother, Polly Draper. He starred alongside his younger brother, Alex Wolff. Wolff went on to act in several movies, including The Fault in Our Stars, Paper Towns, and Death Note, among others. In addition to acting, he has pursued music with his brother, releasing albums like Black Sheep, Public Places, and Table for Two. Wolff appeared alongside Billie Eilish in the 2024 music video for her song 'Chihiro,' which she directed herself. He also opened for Eilish during the North American leg of her Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour in 2024. Eilish, who publicly came out as bisexual, has previously been linked to rapper Brandon "Q" Adams and actor Matthew Tyler Vorce. Her most public relationship was with The Neighbourhood frontman Jesse Rutherford, whom she dated from 2022 to 2023. In her 2022 Vanity Fair interview, Eilish openly gushed about Rutherford 'Yeah, I do [have a boyfriend now],' she said. 'And it's really cool, and I'm really excited, and I'm really happy about it. I managed to get my way to a point in my life … where I not only was known by a person that I thought was the hottest fucking fucker alive, but pulled his ass. Are you kidding me? Can we just—round of applause for me. Thank you! Jesse Rutherford, everyone! I pulled his ass—all me! I did that shit. I locked that motherfucker down.' The couple split up in May 2023.

Persona 4 Revival officially announced: Atlus delivers a modern makeover
Getty Images Persona 4 Revival officially announced After months of swirling rumors and cryptic hints, Atlus has finally confirmed what fans have been hoping for: Persona 4 Revival , a complete remake of the iconic 2008 RPG, is officially in development. The announcement came during the Xbox Games Showcase on June 8, 2025, sending shockwaves of excitement through the gaming community. Persona 4 Revival is set to launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, and will be available day one for Game Pass Ultimate subscribers. While Atlus has not revealed a release date, the debut teaser trailer showcased a fresh 360-degree camera system, replacing the original's fixed perspective and promising a more immersive exploration of the rural town of Inaba. The remake is expected to follow in the footsteps of 2024's Persona 3 Reload , featuring upgraded visuals, enhanced sound, a revamped combat system, and expanded social simulation elements. Longtime fans are already speculating about quality-of-life improvements and new gameplay mechanics, though Atlus has remained tight-lipped about notable development is the absence of several original English voice actors, including Yuri Lowenthal (Yosuke), who recently shared on social media that they were not invited back for the remake. This has sparked discussion among fans eager to see how the new cast will reinterpret beloved characters. Originally released for the PlayStation 2 and later as Persona 4 Golden on the PS Vita, the game is celebrated for its blend of murder mystery, dungeon crawling, and high school social life. The remake aims to introduce a new generation to its gripping narrative and quirky cast, while giving veterans a reason to revisit Inaba with fresh eyes. Although details remain scarce, the hype is undeniable. As Atlus puts the finishing touches on Persona 4 Revival , fans are already counting down the days until they can dive back into the Midnight Channel.

John Hancock: America's unsung founding father and revolutionary mark
It is unlikely Hancock will be restored to the top tier of the founders, but remembering him better could reap dividends NYT JOHN HANCOCK: First to Sign, First to Invest in America's Independence by Willard Sterne Randall Published by Dutton 272 pages $34 When John Hancock scrawled his enormous signature at the bottom of the Declaration of Independence, it was a brave act; capture by the British might have meant execution. The musical 1776 has Hancock claiming that he wrote it out supersized 'so Fat George in London can read it without his glasses!' But despite his courage, Hancock remains a little hard to see. Unlike Adams and Jefferson, he did not leave extensive writings. Unlike Washington, he did not play a leading military role (though he longed to). Unlike all three of them, he did not make it to the presidency, but served as a precursor of sorts in the Continental Congress. These deficits have left their mark. Historians generally neglect Hancock when they write collective biographies of the founders, and there are no major monuments to him. There will be 250 statues in Donald Trump's National Garden of American Heroes that is supposed to be completed by July 4 next year. The actress Ingrid Bergman and the Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek have made the cut, but not the American who did more than most to define Independence Day. The Declaration of Independence may have been composed by a different founder, but, as the historian Willard Sterne Randall writes in John Hancock, it was Hancock who led the Second Continental Congress to appoint the committee that drafted it. He also raised funds for the Continental Army, oversaw shipbuilding efforts for the Navy and kept Congress together even as it fled Philadelphia when the British came too close for comfort. For all these reasons, it is welcome news to have a biography that presents a compelling case for a reappraisal. Randall tells the story of an 18th-century American who seemed preordained to follow the path of his father and grandfather into the ministry, but then swerved in another direction when his father died and a wealthy uncle offered to adopt him. At times, the narrative structure resembles the twists and turns of Henry Fielding's 1749 novel, Tom Jones, about a foundling with a hearty appetite for life. Tutored by his uncle, Hancock proved to have an exceptional nose for business. In the 1760s, as relations deteriorated between England and its American colonies, Hancock was on the front lines as a well-informed importer who understood the ways in which local tempers were flaring over tariffs on goods like paper and tea. As the English tightened the screws, he extended lines of credit to Boston's lesser merchants, a financial tie that meant the Massachusetts business community moved in lockstep with him when he wanted to pressure the Crown with a boycott. Randall also effectively conveys the real affection that bonded Hancock and his fellow Bostonians, whom he helped with purchases of firewood during particularly cold winters and fireworks displays when there was happier news to celebrate. His philanthropy earned him many friends, but his expensive tastes grated on more abstemious leaders like Samuel Adams. Hancock was elected to office, first locally, and then, when he assumed the presidency of the Continental Congress in May 1775, as a leader of the not-quite-United States. In 1777, exhausted, he requested a leave, and returned to Boston for a spell. After that, he never completely regained his national stature, although he served capably in local offices and helped Massachusetts survive its own internal fissures, including Shays' Rebellion in the 1780s. If the early Revolutionary period represented Hancock's apogee, he stayed true to the patriot cause for many years after. Unlike another financial genius who was rising at that moment — Alexander Hamilton — he was suspicious of a strong central government and yet he worked to secure the approval of the US Constitution in Massachusetts. Weakened by gout, he began to fade just as the country was coming together. For all of these reasons, Hamilton gets the $10 bill and the musical. Randall handles the arc of Hancock's life efficiently, but there remain unasked questions relating to slavery. There is some evidence that Hancock, as the governor of Massachusetts, impeded the extradition of people who had escaped bondage in the South and that he endorsed compensation for forced labour. The author does not investigate these subjects, nor does he linger over the way the peculiar institution might have helped bolster Hancock's inherited fortune. It is unlikely Hancock will be restored to the top tier of the founders, but remembering him better could reap dividends. With his financial acumen, propensity for dramatic gestures and flamboyant signature, he might appeal to the right, and a certain Sharpie-wielding president. With his respect for due process and democracy, and his direct support of those in need, he also represents values that might be associated with the left. To bring a divided people closer together, as he did in 1776, would be a good way to honour a founder who has been waiting a long time for his close-up.
