Matthew Gaudreau’s Wife Gives Birth to Son Four Months After Tragic Death

Matthew Gaudreau‘s wife just gave birth to their son … four short months after he and his brother Johnny were killed by an alleged drunk driver.

Madeline Gaudreau announced the news on Instagram early Sunday morning … sharing a photo of their baby boy holding tightly to her hand — and revealing she named him Tripp.

In her caption, Madeline writes Tripp is “Mommy & Daddy’s world” … keeping Matthew’s presence within the family alive. BTW, Matthew helped choose the name before he passed, it seems.

As you know … Matthew and Johnny were riding bicycles just after 8 PM ET in Oldmans Township, New Jersey — when an alleged drunk driver hit them from behind.

Cops say the two sustained major injuries and died at the scene … and, a man named Sean Higgins was arrested on two counts of death by auto.

Body cam footage taken shortly after the Gaudreaus were hit shows officers putting Higgins through a series of field sobriety tests before slapping cuffs on him.

Matthew’s wife revealed how excited he was to be a father during her eulogy days after he was killed … saying “The moment we found out about our son, Tripp, it consumed his every day. He was downloading apps, ordering books, finding the best diaper brands. Making sure I had the best vitamins and asking for tips from John.”

Matthew was 29 and Johnny was 31.

RIP
