00:00Did you know that Erling Haaland and his girlfriend Isabel Hoxson Johansson first crossed paths when they were children?
00:06Their love story began long before their fame in Bryan, Norway, where they grew up in the same football circle
00:11Bryan FK.
00:12Isabel, like Erling, also came through the club's youth system and played football in her early years.
00:18Around 2021, life brought them back into each other's orbit and their friendship slowly turned into something more.
00:23He later admitted he didn't even remember interacting with Johansson much during their childhood.
00:28She remembers many times that she's been seeing me when we were younger, but I don't.
00:36It was Isabel who made the first move years later when she texted him.
00:39From there, everything stayed low-key.
00:41In December 2024, the couple stepped into a new chapter when they welcomed their first child, a son.
00:47Haaland has spoken about how becoming a father changed his mindset, saying it helped him switch off from football
00:52when he returned home and made him feel more balanced away from the game.
00:56Although Isabel no longer plays professionally, she has built a strong social media presence
01:01and is often seen supporting Haaland at major matches and events.
01:04During the 2026 FIFA World Cup, she regularly attended Norway's games and supported them from the stands.
01:10Since then, the couple have continued to keep a low profile and enjoy spending time at home
01:14with relaxed evenings and games like Minecraft.
