Wayne Gretzky was traded to the Los Angeles Kings in 1988, shortly after getting married to American actress Janet Jones. He later joined the St. Louis Blues before retiring with the New York Rangers, according to Gretzky.com. He and his wife have five children together: daughters Paulina and Emma and sons Ty, Trevor, and Tristan. Paulina is a fairly famous model and actress, who is married to a pro golfer, Dustin Johnson, and Trevor plays baseball. None of Wayne's children picked up his hockey torch.
When Wayne and Janet tied the knot, it was a big deal, so much so that it was compared to a royal wedding. Janet got some pushback for what people interpreted as her tempting Wayne away from Canada. During an interview with CBS Sunday Morning in 2021, Janet said about their relationship: "They also said our marriage wouldn't work, and here we are, 33 years later." She added that people were a bit rude about their relationship, but Wayne kept her by his side throughout his career.
Trevor said one of the best pieces of advice his father gave him and his siblings while growing up was to love what you do: "He taught us, is if you love something, and you work hard, good things are going to pay off. So, that's all that matters."
