The couple — who first met at a Los Angeles Equinox and struck up a friendship that later grew into more — got engaged in June 2020. Lundgren shared the happy news onInstagram, writing, “Something very special happened here in Sweden,” alongside a photo of the couple posing together.
In the image, which captured them enjoying a bottle of bubbly on a balcony, Krokdal showed off her engagement ring for the camera.
During aMay 2023 interviewwith journalist Graham Bensinger, Lundgren got candid about the nearly 40-year age difference between him and his now-wife. While he said that their age gap is “severe,” he described Krokdal as “an angel that was sent down to help me.”
“I feel like Emma is very mature for her age, for sure. She’s had an interesting life. She came over here from a small town in Norway,” he told Bensinger. “She was married here and she went through a difficult divorce and went through a lot of stuff that most young people her age don’t have to deal with.”
“So she’s quite mature and at the same time, I think I’m quite youthful,” he continued. “But you know, I’ve been with people that are twice her age [who are] less mature than she is.”
Krokdal isn’t shy about sharing her love for Lundgren, either. In a touching birthday tribute to her husband back in November, she called theExpend4blesstar an “amazing human being.”
“A real badass fighting his way through every challenge that comes his way, and smiling while doing it 🫶🏼👊🏻. Love you,” she wrote in theInstagram post’s caption.
