Connor McDavid’s wife Lauren Kyle: How did she build her five-venture empire?

Lauren Kyle McDavid had always known she wanted to build something of her own, but turning her creative ideas into successful businesses came with a learning curve. The wife of Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid started with interior design before expanding into fashion, furniture, food and publishing. Behind that growth was a challenge she had to face early in her career: learning the business side of her creative work.That part of Lauren’s journey became more important as she took on more projects. By June 2025, she had several ventures under her name, while Connor had watched closely as she learned to turn her ideas into businesses. His support also came at a time when Lauren needed help taking her first company to the next level.
