Boston, MA — Love was in full bloom this weekend as Boston Bruins star defenseman Charlie McAvoy tied the knot with his longtime partner, Kiley Sullivan, in a heartfelt and elegant wedding ceremony held in the heart of Boston.
The couple, who have been together for several years, exchanged vows on Saturday in front of close family, friends, and several of McAvoy’s Bruins teammates. The ceremony took place at a historic venue near the Boston waterfront, a fitting setting for two people so closely connected to the city and its vibrant sports culture.
Kiley Sullivan, the daughter of New England Sports Network (NESN) broadcaster and former NHL player Mike Sullivan, looked radiant in a classic, flowing white gown. McAvoy, 27, wore a sleek black tuxedo and couldn’t hold back a smile as he watched his bride walk down the aisle.
“This was more than just a wedding—it was a celebration of love, family, and community,” said a source close to the couple. “Everyone there could feel how much Charlie and Kiley adore each other.”
The wedding was a true Boston affair, complete with New England-themed cuisine, live music from a local jazz ensemble, and subtle nods to McAvoy’s Bruins legacy. Guests were treated to a reception that blended elegance and intimacy, featuring personalized touches such as hand-written thank-you notes, custom cocktails, and even a Bruins-themed dessert table.
Several of McAvoy’s current and former teammates were in attendance, including Bruins captain Brad Marchand and goaltender Jeremy Swayman, who offered heartfelt toasts during the reception. Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery and team executives were also spotted, underscoring the strong bond between McAvoy and the organization.
“Charlie’s like a brother to a lot of us,” said one teammate. “Seeing him find that same kind of loyalty and love with Kiley—it’s special.”
Social media was abuzz throughout the weekend as photos and clips from the event began circulating. Fans flooded McAvoy’s Instagram post—where he shared a romantic photo captioned “Forever with you ❤️”—with well wishes and congratulations.
McAvoy, who is widely regarded as one of the NHL’s top defensemen, has been a cornerstone of the Bruins since being drafted in 2016. While his toughness and poise on the ice have made him a fan favorite, this weekend’s wedding showed a more personal side of the star athlete—one full of heart, humility, and joy.
The newlyweds are expected to enjoy a short honeymoon before McAvoy returns to his offseason training regimen ahead of the 2025–26 NHL season. As he prepares for another year anchoring the Bruins’ blue line, he does so with a new title—husband.
With their deep Boston roots and strong bond, Charlie and Kiley McAvoy begin their next chapter surrounded by the city and the team that helped shape their journey—together.
