Isabel Haugseng Johansen was 16 when she sent Erling Haaland a message. Same town, same lifelong club, Norway’s Bryne FK, but she was the one who made the first move. “She was the one who reached out to me”, Haaland himself admitted. 💬
Isabel is not just the girlfriend of the most feared goal scorer of the moment: she made her debut for Bryne FK’s senior team at 13 and scored 23 goals in 36 matches before hanging up her boots during the pandemic. Today, at 21, she is building her career as an influencer, has more than 200,000 followers on Instagram, and has already appeared on the cover of the Norwegian magazine KK. 📸
In December 2024, their first child was born, a boy whose name the couple is keeping private, and far from stepping away from Haaland’s world, Isabel accompanied him all the way to the United States to experience the FIFA World Cup 2026 up close. Two kids from the same town. A story that began on a neighborhood pitch and ended at Wembley, on the Ballon d’Or red carpet, and in the stands of the world. 🌍🏆
