Their relationship was kept mostly private, with occasional glimpses on social media. Kiley, an active Instagram user, often shared moments of joy and affection with McAvoy, fueling rumors of their romance.
The couple's public debut occurred when they attended the wedding of McAvoy's teammate in 2021, capturing the hearts of fans with their radiant happiness.
As the daughter of a Massachusetts native and BU alumnus, Kiley's passion for hockey and sportsmanship has been ingrained in her from an early age. This shared love for the game further deepened her connection with McAvoy, who himself is an accomplished player in the NHL.
After four years of dating, Charlie McAvoy took their relationship to the next level with a proposal in Greece in July 2022.
