Is Sidney Crosby’s commitment to hockey stronger than his relationship? Why he still hasn’t married Kathy Leutner after 15 years of dating?

Sidney Crosby, the face of the Pittsburgh Penguins and one of the greatest players in NHL history, has always let his game do the talking. With three Stanley Cups, an Olympic gold medal, and a resume stacked with accolades, the Canadian superstar is known for his quiet leadership on the ice.

With a successful career modeling for brands like Abercrombie & Fitch, Hollister, and Faviana, she’s built her own identity in the fashion world. Leutner and Crosby reportedly met in 2008 through mutual friends, and they've quietly maintained their relationship ever since.While many fans assume that a 15-year relationship would naturally lead to marriage, Crosby and Leutner have chosen a different path — one that’s built on privacy and staying out of the limelight.
