Stanley Cup-winning hockey stars try to hook teammate up with stunning model Sommer Ray amid celebrations
The Florida Panthers are using their Stanley Cup success to try and seal a high-profile girlfriend for one of their teammates... and it's all playing out for the whole world to see. The Panthers sealed back-to-back titles with a 4-2 series win over the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night, and it has been wall-to-wall partying for the players ever since. Amid the wild celebrations, star man Matthew Tkachuk took to social media in a bold bid to try and hook up his teammate Anton Lundell with a girl: none other than DJ and model Sommer Ray. The situation all began to unfold when another of the Florida players - Sasha Barkov - brought Ray, 28, into the conversation on an Instagram Live stream. While wearing the uniform of another of his teammates, Sam Reinhart, Barkov revealed that he has 'two names on my Instagram search'. Revealing more, he said: 'Sommer Ray and Sam Reinhart. But one is by mistake. I typed Sommer Ray because I was trying to type Sam Reinhart.' A few hours later, the model was clearly still on the lips of the team, as Tkachuk took to X to shoot his shot for a young teammate. He wrote: 'Sorry for bothering you @SommerRay... but our friend Anton Lundell says hi!! Great guy' The hilarious exchange all unfolded on Friday night and as of Sunday morning, Ray is yet to respond - despite her comments section being flooded with Panthers fans trying to help out their man. Panthers players, meanwhile, are preparing for yet another parade through the streets of Florida, and it would be no surprise to see Ray mentioned again during the next set of celebrations. The DJ recently went viral after it emerged she had turned down an eyewatering $40million to join OnlyFans during Covid. Speaking on YouTuber George Janko's podcast, she said: 'In that time it was like, every single person in my life was coming to me and telling me, "Sommer, if you don't start an OnlyFans, you're stupid, you're stupid",' she said. '"Like how could you not do that?" 'The money I could make would be insane. Someone was saying, in that time with COVID... they said I could have made $40million or something like that.' Despite her insistence on not joining the adult content website, Ray is not doing badly on her own, with her net worth recently valued at around $8m. Lundell, meanwhile, is currently on a six-year, $30m deal with the Panthers, and he received a signing bonus of $2.5m this time last year.

Kristin Cavallari's ex-toyboy Mark Estes moves on with MGK's glamorous ex-girlfriend
Montana Boyz member Mark Estes hard launched his new relationship with DJ Sommer Ray on Sunday - nine months after ending his seven-month fling with much older reality star Kristin Cavallari. At 28, the LaLaLa singer is only three years older than the SKIMS model -rather than the 13-year age gap he had with the 38-year-old mother-of-three. On TikTok, Mark showcased his obvious attraction to Sommer, who passionately kissed him as he grabbed her pert posterior. Estes and Ray did not write captions, but they both played remixes of different songs - Justin Bieber 's 2010 hit Baby and Madonna 's 1983 hit Holiday - for their PDA-filled announcements. On May 23, the Colorado-born brunette teased her new romance when she posted a dancing TikTok captioned: 'When he's hot and emotionally intelligent.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop 'Guys, do you know the most absolute worst feelings is when you're going through your man's phone, and you see some s*** that you did not want to see,' Sommer - who boasts 42.5M social media followers - vented on April 23. 'And your heart drops and you get, like, shaky almost. For anyone who's like, "I don't go through his phone..." no! That's our phone. If I'm f***ing you and we're dating and your my man, that's our phone. 'If you don't want me to go through your phone, why? Trust is earned! Let me go through that phone a few times and not find anything, maybe I'll stop going through it. Maybe I won't. We're sharing that motherf***ing phone now.' Before meeting Ray, the fitness trainer famously told Kristin she was the 'best sex' he'd ever had, and the feeling was definitely mutual. During the March 12th taping of her Let's Be Honest 'Headline Tour' stop in Boston, Cavallari confessed that rekindling her romance with Mark would be great because 'I could have really good sex for the rest of my life.' The Uncommon James founder previously said Estes 'the best boyfriend I've ever had' but ultimately she realized their relationship was 'not right long term.' 'I know that one day he will look back and understand it and I actually think one day he will look back and thank me,' Kristin said on her Let's Be Honest podcast on October 1. 'He needs to experience life, he's young...I started to feel the age a little bit with life experience. I look back when I was 24 and how much life has happened between then, those are crucial years, those are formative years, they're when you find yourself and he needs to be able to do that.' Meanwhile, Sommer and rapper-turned-rocker Machine Gun Kelly enjoyed a hot fling at the height of the coronavirus-infected spring of 2020, which he confirmed via Twitter. On May 23, the Colorado-born brunette teased her new romance when she posted a dancing TikTok captioned: 'When he's hot and emotionally intelligent' However, Sommer warned potential mates on April 23: 'If I'm f***ing you and we're dating and your my man, that's our phone. If you don't want me to go through your phone, why? Trust is earned! Let me go through that phone a few times and not find anything, maybe I'll stop going through it. Maybe I won't. We're sharing that motherf***ing phone now' During the March 12th (pictured) taping of her Let's Be Honest 'Headline Tour' stop in Boston, Cavallari confessed that rekindling her romance with Mark would be great because 'I could have really good sex for the rest of my life' The Uncommon James founder previously said Estes 'the best boyfriend I've ever had' but ultimately she realized their relationship was 'not right long term' Ray was literally waiting in the Puerto Rican hotel room (pictured) as the 35-year-old Grammy nominee (born Colson Baker) began shooting Midnight in the Switchgrass with his future ex-fiancée-turned-babymama Megan Fox Ray was literally waiting in the Puerto Rican hotel room as the 35-year-old Grammy nominee (born Colson Baker) began shooting Midnight in the Switchgrass with his future ex-fiancée-turned-babymama Megan Fox. 'I'd probably do the same thing. Like I'd cheat on Colson with Megan Fox, like if it was the other way around I probably would be doing this,' the former Vine star told Logan Paul's podcast Impaulsive in 2021. 'I dated Colson, never had sex with him...I make you wait at least three months. I have to make sure that you're someone good to me. I'm not going to make you a number if you're not good to me. So Colson just never passed the test.' Sommer - who began DJing in 2023 - is next scheduled to man the decks at LIV Beach in Las Vegas, NV on June 13.
