As for their first date, Gail had Tom accompany her to an “opening party” at a New York restaurant, where they met the New Jersey Devils, who just so happened to win the Stanley Cup at the time.

"Sometimes they tell me I'm not the best, but that's part of being a mom!" Gail admitted to the publication. “But generally, yes, they like my cooking. They appreciate that is my job and they know it's my job, but they also like to spend time in the kitchen with me. It's really good quality family time."
More recently, Gail took to her Instagram to post a series of photos and videos documenting her family’s trip “in the woods.” Two photos featured Dahlia and Kole spending time with a baby goat.
“Cozy, rainy weekend in the woods with fine (occasionally furry) friends and plenty of maple syrup,” she captioned the March 11 post.
