Norwegian soccer star Erling Haaland celebrated his 26th birthday on a luxury yacht in Italy this past weekend. He was joined by his girlfriend, Isabel Haugseng Johansen, and friends, including Norway teammate Sander Berge and his girlfriend Julie Karlsen.
The celebration took place in Sardinia, where the group enjoyed activities such as riding jet skis. "Happy Birthday my love ♥️," Johansen, who is a model and former soccer player, posted on Instagram, sharing photos of the couple. The couple's son, born in December 2024, was also present.
Johansen also shared images of the celebratory spread, which included caviar and tomahawk steaks. "Happy Birthday" balloons were also visible on the yacht.
Haaland and Johansen, who met playing youth soccer at Bryne FK, began their relationship in 2021. Both couples, along with Norwegian striker Jorgen Strand Larsen and his girlfriend Flo Ikpeme, had recently attended Dolce and Gabbana’s Alta Moda show in Sicily.
The birthday celebration comes after Norway's conclusion of their 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign in America, where they were eliminated in the quarterfinals by England in extra time. Haaland, a striker for Manchester City, gained significant attention during the tournament for his distinctive appearance and personality.
