In a recent episode of the Cam and Strick podcast, Montreal Canadiens forward Michael Pezzetta shared a personal update that caught many by surprise.

Known for his dynamic presence on the ice, Pezzetta revealed a significant change in his personal life, his recent split from long-time partner Mireille Boutin, a prominent Quebec influencer.

The revelation came during what was an otherwise light-hearted interview, where the hosts probed about the perks of being young and socially active in a vibrant city like Montreal. Cam, one of the hosts, playfully remarked.

"It must be nice to play in Montreal at your age, man. You're young, you're social, everyone wants to talk to you, you can have fun, you're single, it must be so entertaining!"

This comment unexpectedly steered the conversation towards Pezzetta's relationship status, revealing that he was single, a detail previously unknown to the public.

Michael did not shy away from the topic, responding with both candor and a smile :

"Yeah, well since I've been with Montreal, I had a partner. So we'll see how it goes next season, but yeah, Montreal is a really fun city. [...]"

His upbeat demeanor suggested a positive outlook on his new circumstances.

Strick chimed in with a light-hearted prediction about Pezzetta's social media activity.

"When it gets out in Montreal that you're back on the market, your Instagram is going to blow up, man!"

This banter highlighted the often public nature of personal events for athletes, particularly in a city that adores its hockey stars.

Pezzetta and Boutin had been together since his time with the Laval Rocket, marking several years of companionship. As Pezzetta continues to play under his contract with the Canadiens until July 2025, his personal life remains as much a topic of interest as his athletic performance. Meanwhile, Boutin maintains a strong presence online, engaging nearly 50,000 followers with regular updates.

In light of the news, fans and followers alike will undoubtedly be watching how both individuals navigate this new chapter. While the details of their split remain private, the support for both Pezzetta and Boutin continues, with hopes from fans that both are finding happiness post-breakup.

Navigating personal and professional life in the spotlight isn't always easy, but Pezzetta's openness and the supportive banter of the podcast hosts show that even off the ice, the community aspect of sports remains strong.
