JT Miller’s wife reactivates Instagram account upon his return to action and fans go nuts!

Star forward JT Miller’s return to the Canucks’ lineup on Thursday evening sparked Vancouver and led them to a 4-0 win over the defending Stanley Cup champions Florida Panthers. Before the game, Miller met with reporters to speak about his return to action, but did not want to go into why he had missed time away from the team for personal reasons.

When the Canucks announced last month that Miller had taken a leave of absence, fans and pundits immediately started digging into why the star forward was stepping away from the game. Not only did wild trade rumours emerged, but also crazy speculation quickly began when Miller’s wife Natalie deleted his Instagram account moments after the Canucks made the announcement on her husband’s leave of absence. It quickly got out of hand when fans started spreading the rumour that Miller’s wife had been having an extramarital affair and was the reason why the forward needed time off the ice. Patrick Johnston of the Province even had to step in, explaining how Natalie Miller “deleted her Instagram account but that was just to avoid the crush of nonsensical comments and direct messages that would cascade in at a time like this.”

On Friday, Natalie Miller was trending again when fans noticed that she had reactivated her Instagram account when her husband got back to the Canucks. However, the account is now private.

Currently in his sixth season in Vancouver and his 13th in the NHL, Miller is a huge asset to the Canucks and it was great to see him back in the lineup last night.

When his name was announced, the crowd at Rogers Arena showed him much love and it was great to see and feel it for the veteran forward. Now if only the same support and respect could be applied to his poor wife Natalie.

Good thing that account is private!
