Erling Haaland is one of the most famous footballers in the world today. But behind his powerful goals and big wins is someone very special, his longtime girlfriend, Isabel Haugseng Johansen. Their story began in a small town in Norway called Bryne, where both of them grew up. Isabel has been by his side since they were teenagers, and now, they’re also starting a family together.
How did Isabel Haugseng and Erling Haaland meet?
Erling and Isabel met at Bryne FK, a local football club in Norway. They were both young players in the academy and became good friends. Over time, their friendship turned into something more. A source once shared, “They’ve always known each other,” and it was during Erling’s time playing for Dortmund in Germany that they started dating.
Isabel is also a footballer and plays for the women’s senior team at Bryne FK. Besides playing football, she also works part-time at a fashion store. Even though she doesn’t post much on social media, she sometimes joins Erling at big events and matches.
As Erling moved on from Dortmund to Manchester City, Isabel continued to support him, travelling to see his matches and appearing with him at public events. In 2023, the couple walked the red carpet together at the Ballon d’Or awards, and they even celebrated Erling’s big Nike deal with a shopping trip in London.
In October 2024, Erling shared some very exciting news. After scoring a goal for Norway, he celebrated by putting the ball under his shirt, a playful way to show the world that Isabel was pregnant. A few months later, after a game against Leicester, Manchester City’s coach Pep Guardiola accidentally mentioned that Erling had recently become a father.
Their baby boy was born in December 2024, according to reports. Although they have kept his name private, this moment has marked a big change in their lives, from football stadiums to spending time as new parents.
Even with Erling’s busy football career, Isabel has stayed true to herself. She continues to play football for fun and keeps her personal life private. She helps support Erling behind the scenes while also focusing on her dreams and adjusting to motherhood.
Now, as Erling keeps scoring goals and winning trophies, Isabel remains his strong support. Their story is not just about fame or football; it’s about growing up together, chasing their dreams, and building a life filled with love and family.
