As she mentioned in her caption, the happy couple have a son, Benji, who was born in August 2021. Earlier that year in March, Tessa posted the gender reveal in which they learned they were having a boy.

“IT’S A BOY,” Tessa wrote on Instagram. “AHHH we are beyond excited to meet you!”

This news will excite plenty of Flames fans, as Andersson has become a favourite among many in recent seasons. The 27-year-old has developed into an excellent two-way defenceman over the years while seemingly taking a big step in becoming a leader in the Flames’ locker room.

Through 32 games this season, Andersson has five goals and 18 points. The point pace is down slightly from the 49 he posted a season ago, but it still proves he is quite capable of chipping in offensively from the back end. He is also excellent on the defensive side of the puck, which is indicated by the fact that he leads all Flames in ice time this season with an average of 24:24 minutes per game.
