Dolph Lundgren’s wife, 28, revealed awkward way her mum found out about their relationship

Emma Krokdal and Dolph Lundgren first met in Hollywood

The wife of Dolph Lundgren has revealed the awkward moment her mother found out about her relationship.

The 28-year-old got candid about her marriage to the 67-year-old Swedish actor.

Emma Krokdal married Lundgren in Mykonos, Greece on 13 July 2023, three years after getting engaged.

It was in 2015 that Lundgren was diagnosed with kidney cancer, and he was given only ‘two to three years’ to live in 2021.

In 2020, he started experiencing acid reflux, and went for an MRI, revealing there were ‘a few more tumours’ in his abdominal area.

Lundgren explained how he underwent surgery to remove six tumours, but got a call from the doctor to say they’d found another in the liver.

“At that point, it started to hit me that this is kind of something serious,” he said.

Lundgren added: “They did a scan to prepare for surgery, and the surgeon called me and said, ‘No, it’s grown now. It’s too big. We can’t take it out. It’s like the size of a small lemon.’

“So if they can’t take it out, that means you have to do systemic therapy.

“But then I started getting these side effects where I got diarrhea, and I lost a lot of weight.”

This then led to his cancer diagnosis.

The pair went on to share that after getting hitched, they had to push their marriage plans ‘many times’ due to medical treatments, but it was ‘finally the right time to celebrate love, life and happiness’ this year.

Lundgren previously reflected on the pair’s relationship as going ‘very gradually’, but it was ‘a bit strange’ telling his daughters about his new partner, who is almost 40 years his junior.

In an interview with Kjersti Flaa, Lundgren reflected on his relationship with Krokdal as being ‘one of the most natural relationships’ he’s ‘ever had’.

“Once I was married for 18 years and I had another relationship for nine years. But this time it happened very organically,” he said.

“It happened gradually, so it never felt forced – or that we rushed into it.”

But that doesn’t mean that everyone was as pleased about it as they were.

According to Krokdal, she didn’t see Lundgren as marriage material when they first met, and shared in an interview with Graham Bensinger, that she ‘obviously’ wasn’t going to tell her mum about the first time she slept over at his home.

“I wasn’t planning on it becoming anything serious at all,” Krokdal shared.

But try as she might, her mum found out in the end.

Krokdal stated: “She stalks me.”

“I should have known,” she added.

Snapchat was Krokdal’s snitch, as her mum checked the maps feature and realised her daughter wasn’t at home, and after doing a bit of sleuthing, she figured out her daughter’s whereabouts.

“Then she sent me a screenshot of me on the map, and she Googled the address and she found out it was Dolph’s address. So that was a bit awkward,” Krokdal said.

While Krokdal didn’t want it to be found out that way, she insisted her parents are ‘cool’ about her relationship, despite their age gap.

“They know each other really well,” she said.

Lundgren then admitted that he wasn’t sure why his wife wanted to be with him, sharing: “But I suppose she saw something there. She didn’t know about my acting career, she didn’t know anything about me.”

For those of you who don’t know who Lundgren is, he got his acting start in 1985, when he starred as Ivan Drago in Rocky IV.

He’s also been in The Punisher, The Expendables, and Masters of the Universe.
