Reporter reveals 'little crush' on married Hurricanes coach Rod Brind’Amour, says she's 'waiting in the wings'

If married Carolina Hurricanes coach Rod Brind’Amour hits free agency anytime soon, he's not going to have to wait around on the market that long. There's already someone out there announcing her interest.

His wife doesn’t have anything to worry about though, she's not stealing anyone's husband. She's respectfully "waiting in the wings" and is making it known that she's no stranger to dating men that have been married is all.

The woman pushing her way towards the front of the line for the 56-year-old former NHL player's attention is TV reporter and Wake Up Later, Carolina host Judith Retana, reports the NY Post.

During a recent episode of the Wake Up Later, Carolina show, she admitted to seeing Brind’Amour, and who hasn't? He went tarps off multiple times celebrating the Canes Stanley Cup.

Retana also admitted having a crush on him. Again, she's not alone there either. Although you could argue if you want to spend your time doing those sorts of things that she went a little too far.

"Have I seen the coach Rachel? You know I’ve seen the coach. You know I have my little crush on Rod Brind’Amour," Retana said in a video that has been deleted or disabled on social media.

"I respect his wife. I'm sure they have a good thing going there, but I'll be waiting in the wings in case anything goes awry. I'm no stranger to dating married men."

According to the NY Post, there was a disclaimer that appeared on the clip that read: "Clarification: previously married men as in divorced or separated."

Retana added, "Or men with children. I don’t mind any of that baggage. It’s not really baggage for me, it’s a built-in family."

A co-host, meteorologist Rachel Duensing, tried to get her to pump the brakes on the oversharing about Brind’Amour. It evidently worked on air, but she still felt the need to share the clip on social media until it was disabled or deleted.

You live and you learn. I'm not going to go after her for allowing her heart to take her too deep into the romantic waters. I think if she had to do it again, she'd dial it back a little and that's good enough for me.

Getting lost in tarps off celebrations, the likes of which Rod Brind'Amour was involved in, could happen to anyone.
