NHL player Kevin Fiala and his Swedish wife Jessica have welcomed their second child, a daughter named Zoie-Lou, according to reports from Swedish media. The 29-year-old Los Angeles Kings forward announced the happy news on Instagram, sharing an emotional message about the new addition to their family.
"Zoie-Lou, our beautiful daughter. I can promise you that you have the strongest, bravest and most fantastic mother," Fiala wrote in his Instagram post, as reported by Jönköpings-Posten. He added, "We are so happy to have her. Welcome to the world little one. Mom and dad will always love you."

The couple, who met when Fiala played for Swedish hockey team HV71 from 2013-2015, have been living in California for several years due to Fiala's NHL career with the Los Angeles Kings. This birth comes after the couple experienced a miscarriage last year, which Fiala had previously opened up about in May 2025.
According to Expressen Sport, Fiala revealed last year that his wife was pregnant for a second time but they lost the baby, describing it as an emotionally difficult period for the couple. The arrival of Zoie-Lou represents a joyful milestone for the family following that difficult experience.
We are so happy to have her. Welcome to the world little one. Mom and dad will always love you.
The Fialas' first child was born earlier, though specific details about their firstborn were not provided in the available reports. The family continues to reside in California where Fiala plays professional hockey.
