Evander Kane, the star player of the Edmonton Oilers, has been going through a tough time in his personal life as his fiancee, Mara Teigen, is dealing with a pretty difficult pregnancy. Evander Kane’s fiancee, Mara Teigen, has been pretty active on social media with her pregnancy struggles but her recent post might get some of their fans worried about their soon to be born baby.

Evander Kane And His Fiancee, Mara Teigen, Are Going Through A Pretty Tough Time Currently

Evander Kane’s fiancee, Mara Teigen, took to her Instagram to post a picture of her pregnant belly with a heartbreaking caption. The caption reads as, “Still living in hospital until we decide it’s the right time for early C section. Preparing for pre term baby. I’m 31 weeks.”

Evander Kane’s fiancee, Mara Teigen, also spoke about what their current goal is. She added, “Our goal is to get to 32 weeks but will see how I’m doing this next week. She will be in the NICU for a bit but as long as she’s healthy that all that matters. Thank you for all the kind messages.”
She also added another story where she revealed that their baby was “perfect” and “healthy”.
It seems like both Evander Kane and Mara Teigen have had a hard time with this pregnancy of theirs.
Evander Kane had a pretty troublesome past and has had many people accuse him of a lot of crimes, including being unable to pay debts, domestic violence and sexual assault. So much so, the NHL player had to be once investigated by the NHL after his ex wife, Anne Kane, revealed that Evander Kane bets on his own games.
However, after the NHL conducted an investigation, they found no such evidence that suggested what his ex wife had accused him of. At that time, Evander Kane was playing for the San Jose Sharks, but later his contract was terminated after he was accused of violating COVID-19 protocols.
He signed with his current team, the Edmonton Oilers, for a whopping $20.5 million for a four year extension.
Evander Kane shares two sons with his fiancee, Mara Teigen, and the couple is all ready to welcome their third child.
