Dolph Lundgren, 66, gained global recognition in 1985 for his portrayal as Ivan Drago in Rocky IV (which was mentioned multiple times in Cobra Kai Season 5!), and the Swedish actor has since become an international sensation.
Throughout his career, he has dabbled in directing and played some major parts, including He-Man in the Masters of the Universe film and returning to the big screen for the all-star cast of The Expendables. Most recently, he played King Nereus in Aquaman (2018) and The Best Man (2023).
Beyond the silver screen, Lundgren's personal life has intrigued fans and followers. One pivotal aspect of his journey involves his marital relationship. Let's peek into the Rocky IV actor's personal life.
Who is Dolph Lundgren married to?
Swedish actor Dolph Lundgren married his longtime partner, Norwegian personal trainer Emma Krokdal. According to People Magazine, the couple said their “I do's” in Mykonos, Greece, in front of close friends and family. The couple confirmed the big news in a joint statement released to the media.
“We decided to celebrate our love by getting married in our Mykonos home with family and a few close friends. With both Covid and a long road of difficult medical treatments, we've had to postpone our wedding preparations several times. “We felt it was finally time to celebrate love, life, and happiness—in the land of the gods,” the statement said.
The announcement comes after the couple became engaged in June 2020, when Dolph Lundgren proposed in Sweden and posted the news on Instagram.
The two originally met at a West Hollywood Equinox and quickly became close friends. Dolph Lundgren and Krokdal made their official red carpet debut in June 2022 at the Minions: The Rise of Gru event, along with their daughters.
Dolph and Emma recently celebrated their new US citizenship in February 2024! The couple confirmed the news to PEOPLE on February 12 and shared exclusive images with the outlet.
Dolph Lundgren Was Married Twice Before
Peri Momm
Before the triumph of Rocky IV, Dolph was already rubbing elbows with celebrities while pursuing a master's degree in chemical engineering. In an interview with The Irish Times in November 2018, he revealed details regarding his 1980s relationship with singer Grace Jones.
Shortly after meeting Grace, he was cast as Drago, which boosted his career. “To forego that scholarship and become a starving actor?
It was insane, in retrospect. But I had a hunch I didn't want to be a chemical engineer. “That it wouldn't be enough for me,” he recalled. “I'll see some old pals or go to my old school and speak with the students. I wonder what my life would have been like. I would have had less bodily damage, for sure.”

Dolph and Grace's romance finally ended, and he married Peri Momm in 1991, after becoming a well-known Hollywood star. They kept their marriage very secret, and it lasted only one year. It is unclear what Peri is up to now, as she has remained out of the spotlight during and after her romance with the Universal Soldier actor.
Annette Qviberg
Dolph married interior designer Anette Qviberg in 1994, which was the longest of his two marriages. Like Dolph's first ex, Anette tries to keep her personal life quiet. It is known that they have two daughters. The couple's eldest daughter, Ida, was born in 1996 and is an actress who made her debut in the 2009 film Command Performance, which her father directed.
She collaborated with her father again in the 2021 film Castle Falls, according to IMDb. She is also a model, and you can see some professional photos of her on her Instagram feed. Greta, Dolph, and Anette's secondborn daughter was born a few years later, in 2001 (according to her Instagram), and she appears to be an aspiring photographer with an Instagram dedicated to her art.
Dolph and Anette separated in 2011 after more than 15 years of marriage. While Anette remained out of the spotlight both before and after their marriage, she made news when their home was broken into by robbers in May 2009.

Dolph discussed the incident in a 2010 interview with TalkSport. He claimed that the criminals fled after discovering whose family they were robbing. “They saw some pictures, and they gave my wife a few things back, and then they took off,” the man added.
“It was a dreadful experience, and I sent a few friends from Bulgaria to try to find these individuals and speak with them, but nothing worked. “We never found them.”
