The 65-year-old Rocky actor and 25-year-old Emma Krokdal are thought to have started dating in 2019 after meeting at the gym. They were engaged in 2020, and this week, on July 13, 2023, in Mykonos, Greece, they were married.

Lundgren said that the couple’s connection developed’very gradually’ despite the fact that they had only been acquainted for four years, but that didn’t mean it wasn’t ‘a bit odd’ to tell his kids about his new partner.

“Once, I had a nine-year relationship in addition to my 18 years of marriage. But this time, he said, it all happened very naturally. It developed gradually, so nothing about it ever felt forced or like we jumped right in.

But if it was a gradual process for Lundgren and Krokdal, does it imply that it was also for Ida and Greta, the actor’s daughters? Ida, 27, and Greta, 21, learning that their father was dating a woman who was 40 years his junior and between their ages?

When Lundgren first met Krokdal, he realized it would be awkward to tell his daughters about her, he acknowledges.

But they are both emotionally grown and open, and I have always been very honest with them, he continues. So I informed them.

Ida was introduced to Krokdal initially by Lundgren, who said they ‘get along beautifully’.

The actor asserts in the interview that “They are Happy When I Am Happy. To them, that is the only thing that matters.

Lundgren observes that, whether it be Krokdal and his kids or coworkers in the film and television industry, he is frequently surrounded by younger individuals.

“I think it’s very inspiring, and there’s no rule that older people know more than younger people,” the actor decides. that they are wiser or more experienced… That isn’t necessarily the case. There is a lot that young people can provide.

They frequently carry less baggage and radiate cleaner energy. Emma is a gift that I received.

“I believe my daughters share the same sentiments. Everyone is unique.
