Erling Haaland, the Norwegian goal machine who’s terrorized Premier League defenses since his 2022 Manchester City arrival with 63 strikes in 68 games, has traded his terror for tenderness in a heartwarming interview where he spilled “embarrassing” details of his love life with girlfriend Isabel Johansen, joking they’d “serve up kebabs” at their wedding to keep things “grounded and fun.”
On September 30, 2025, the 25-year-old striker, fresh from City’s 3-1 win over Arsenal, chatted with FourFourTwo about the “awkward” early days with Isabel, 24, a Norwegian model and student he met in 2019 at a Manchester party. “I was so nervous – tried to impress her with my Norwegian charm, but ended up spilling pasta on my shirt,” Haaland blushed, his cheeks flushing like a first-date fumble. “She laughed – that’s when I knew she was the one.” The “embarrassing” escapades? Endearing: From botched home-cooked dinners (“I burned the salmon – she said it was ‘charred chic’”) to a “cringe” karaoke duet of ABBA’s “Dancing Queen” that “cleared the room,” Haaland’s humility humanizes the “cyborg” scorer who’s netted 10 in City’s last five.
The kebab wedding whimsy? Wholesome: “We love kebabs – cheap, tasty, no fuss – so why not serve ’em at the wedding?” Haaland quipped, his “grounded” grin a nod to their low-key life amid City’s spotlight. Isabel, a psychology student at Manchester Uni with 50k Instagram followers, echoed in a joint post: “He’s my awkward hero – pasta spills and all.” Their “serving up” saga? A sweet slice of normalcy: From 2020’s lockdown lasagna fails to 2025’s “kebab dates” after Norway caps (Haaland’s 30 goals in 35 games). The “love life” laughs? Light-hearted: “First kiss? I tripped over my feet – she caught me,” he confessed, fans flooding #HaalandHeart with 3.2 million posts: “Cyborg’s cute!” vs. “Kebab king & queen!”
The ripple? Relentless: Haaland’s “embarrassing” ease endears amid City’s title tilt (top after 5 wins), his “grounded” glow a counter to the “robot” rep. Pep Guardiola’s “he’s human – that’s his power” quip seals it. September 30? Not interview – an intimacy. Fans? Flooded with fondness. The world’s watching – whispering “wedding when?” Haaland’s heart? Humble, hilarious.
