By | March 4, 2026

Auston Matthews’ new girlfriend, Vanessa Piunno, is showing off her domestic skills after hard launching her romance with the Team USA hockey player earlier this week. 

The Toronto-based skincare specialist gave fans a closer look at a homemade meal she whipped up on social media, offering a glimpse into the couple’s life away from the ice.

On Tuesday, March 3, Piunno shared a series of photos via her Instagram Stories revealing what she prepared. 

At first, the Toronto-based skincare specialist showed off a bowl of seasoned braised beef being prepared in a large metal bowl. She then shared a photo of the completed meal – sweet potato braised beef gnocchi covered with shredded cheese on top – after it was ready to be served. 

A day earlier, Piunno confirmed her romance with Matthews, 28, in a loved up post shared to Instagram

She captioned the post, “A month to remember forever ❤️❤️.”
