Melissa Shouldice is a fashion stylist and wardrobe organizer who got married to Colorado Avalanche’s captain, Gabriel Landeskog. Like many sports wives, she is famous through her marriage to this Stockholm-born athlete.
She is also the mother of two children, Linnea and Lukey whom she had with Landeskog in their marriage of 7 years. Additionally, Melissa is a very supportive wife who has earned a lot of praise from her husband.
Shouldice Got Married to Gabriel Landeskog in 2018
Melissa, 34, and Landeskog got married on July 6, 2018, at the resort on Pelican Hill in Newport Beach, California. Since then, she and her famous husband have remained together while staying away from the controversies surrounding other celebrity marriages.
Prior to their wedding, they first met in 2012, and shortly after they started dating. At the time, Melissa was still schooling in her native land, Canada. Her husband, Landeskog (33) was already pursuing his career with the Colorado Avalanche. He was drafted to the team in 2011.
The Colorado Avalanche even named him the team captain shortly after. With this position, he became the youngest team captain in NHL History at the time.
Although Melissa was in Canada at the time and her boyfriend played Ice Hockey in Colorado, they managed to keep in contact. To break the distance barrier, Melissa often traveled to Denver to visit her then-boyfriend. Whenever her boyfriend also got the chance, he seized the opportunity and paid her visits.
From the snippets that Melissa’s husband posts on his social media handles, their marriage is going well.

Considering how much she keeps her private life quiet, it is no wonder that not much is known about her parents, siblings, and early life. Nonetheless, her husband’s family is traced to his native country Sweden where he was born on November 23, 1992.
Gabriel Landeskog was born into the family of former Swedish Hockey League defenceman, Tony Landeskog and Cecilia Landeskog. His mother was a chef and cooking instructor.
Gabriel grew up with his twin sister and another sibling who still lives in Sweden.
Gabriel Landeskog’s Wife Has a Career as a Fashion Stylist and Wardrobe Organizer
Although Melissa is quite private, it is known that she is a wardrobe stylist. As a professional in the field, she has organized and styled the wardrobes of other celebrities and movie sets as well.

The union between Melissa and Gabriel over the past years has produced two kids. After dating for about 6 years before eventually tying the knot in 2018, they finally increased the number of members of their family.
Their first child born on November 1, 2019, is a girl named Linnea Rae Landeskog. She was born at a period when her father was suffering from an injury and had to stay off a couple of games.
They welcomed their second child, a boy, Luke Landeskog, born on March 4, 2021.
Melissa Landeskog is Gabriel’s Rock and ‘Go-to’ Person
Before he became the big star that he is, Landeskog enjoyed the support of his then-girlfriend. She was wont to attend his games even though it was out of her city. When she eventually became Landeskog’s wife she began to hold up the home while he pushed his career.
Despite the hard work he puts in, the champion player has constantly recognized the role his supportive wife puts into making him the stellar player he is. It is no wonder that the Swiss-born puts in his best while on the ice as Melissa and their children cheer him on.
One of the times that her support for him really made media waves was during the Lightning vs Avalanche game at the 2022 Stanley Cup. She and a couple of other Ice Hockey players’ wives were ‘all hands on deck’ cheering for their men.
Though the NFL Ice Hockey player made a name for himself ever since he started playing the sport at the age of six.
Over the years, he added accolades and recognitions to his career. In 2009, he got drafted into the Canada Hockey League by the Plymouth Whalers. After they traded him, he moved to the Rangers where he became the team’s captain on October 24, 2010, making him the first European to earn that title.
Having set a pace for his career, it is not surprising that he moved to the National Hockey League in the US. His time with the Colorado Avalanche earned him many accolades including leading his team to win the Stanley Cup in 2022.
Melissa Shouldice’s husband has a lot of prospects for a fulfilling year ahead. Unfortunately, sometime in April 2023, Melissa Landeskog’s husband suffered an injury.
Just like with the one that kept him off play in 2018, Gabe will also miss a couple of games. Some of the games the Colorado Avalanche player will miss include the Stanley Cup Champions’ defending bid.
