McDavid is aware of all the memes<\/a> about his peculiar phobia and actually finds it funny. It hasn\u2019t, however, helped him get over it.<\/p>\n\u201cHe\u2019s never even tried it, to be honest,\u201d Lauren said. \u201cIf I\u2019m having it with a meal, I have to get it from the fridge; he will not put it back in the fridge or touch the bottle. It has to be at the other end.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s seen [the fans dressing up as ketchup], and I\u2019m like, \u2018I\u2019m so sorry I exposed you on that show\u2019\u2026 He does think it\u2019s funny, and he\u2019s still afraid of ketchup; he won\u2019t have it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Not liking ketchup is one thing, but not even touching the bottle seems to move this over into the range of a legitimate phobia.\u00a0It isn\u2019t just McDavid who has this aversion to ketchup, as it also affects his brother, Cameron McDavid.<\/p>\n
Both Cat and Julie wondered how this works at the rink, to which Lauren said she didn\u2019t know, but they must make sure the ketchup stays away from McDavid.<\/p>\n
That wasn\u2019t the only thing that Lauren dished on about her superstar husband. She also revealed that McDavid has become quite the chess player over the past year, often playing it on his phone. The couple are also huge fans of the reality TV series Survivor, and even dressed up as contestants for Halloween in 2023.<\/p>\n
While some might point to Canada\u2019s love of ketchup chips as a mark of national pride, McDavid will not be repping that when he plays for the country at the Olympics in the new year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lauren Kyle McDavid was not shy about revealing more details about her husband\u2019s strange affliction to ketchup.
