Might be four or five carats, actually, he mused. It was a rock.

His lavender pearl manicure looked great. Really pretty against the champagne-hued roses they’d used as a backdrop.

But no. Now was not the time to admire his manicure.

Charlie flipped to the next picture.

They were silhouetted against the Bellagio fountain, Dustin dipping him for a deep kiss.

Charlie assumed it was Dustin and him, anyway.

It was impossible to tell when the figures were so dark. But the shape of the fuck-me heel in the photo matched the pair that were strewn across the hotel room floor, and he could see the roses that were so triumphantly held aloft in the picture now wilting on the nearby table.

He scanned down to the caption.

Sorry, ladies, Toronto’s most eligible bachelor just went off the market. I married my kitten tonight and I’ve never been happier.

“How many times do I need to remind you I am not your kitten?” Charlie said, because he didn’t have a clue what else to say in the face of that.

“Really? Cause you definitely sound like one when you’re pissed off. Cute but ferocious.”

Charlie squared his shoulders and glared. “I don’t belong to anyone.”

“Legally, I’m pretty sure we belong to each other now. But uh, you should know that there seems to be a bit of confusion,” Dustin said. “About your, erm, gender.”

“My gender …”

Charlie scanned some of the comments.

OMG, who is she?? I’m so jealous!

Gah, lucky girl!

He frowned. “But why would they assume I’m a woman …”

The diamond solitaire. The manicure. The bouquet and the heels. The fucking nickname.

The pieces fell into place and Charlie groaned.

“Fuck my life.”

Dustin Fowler Wed in Secret Vegas Ceremony – Partner’s Identity Remains a Mystery

Toronto Fisher Cats ice hockey team captain Dustin Fowler was wed in a secret ceremony in Las Vegas this past weekend, following the NHL awards.

A cryptic social media post from the man himself confirmed the news: “Sorry, ladies, Toronto’s most eligible bachelor just went off the market. I married my kitten tonight and I’ve never been happier.”

But who is “Kitten”?

Without any official confirmation from either the team’s head office or the new groom, rumors have swirled about who Fowler’s partner is.

Speculation has ranged from pop singers, to influencers, to actresses and models, but in a surprising twist, a credible source suggested that “Kitten” is none other than retired men’s figure skating champion Charlie Monaghan.

Neither athlete has been linked to dating anyone in recent history.

Fan reactions vary from shocked disbelief to wholehearted support but without official confirmation, speculation remains rampant.

We here at JockGossip would like to offer our warmest congratulations to the newlyweds.
