As Erling Haaland prepares for a Norway vs. Brazil 2026 World Cup match on Sunday, July 5, the question of his relationship has an answer: his long-term partner, Isabel Haugseng Johansen, and their life together since 2021.
Erling Haaland will be lacing up once again as Norway returns to the 2026 World Cup stage with a match against Brazil on Sunday (July 5).
The 25-year-old Manchester City striker has been drawing attention online for his standout play throughout the tournament. But as fans watch his games, another question keeps popping up—who is Haaland dating?
The answer is simple: he has a long-term partner. Haaland has been dating Isabel Haugseng Johansen, 22, for years. They were first linked in 2021, and the two have a son together, born in December of 2024.
Their story doesn’t begin in the headlines, though. Both grew up in the Norwegian town of Bryne. Johansen is also a soccer player—she played for Bryne’s women’s team beginning when she was 13 years old.
While the couple has kept their romance largely out of the spotlight in recent years, photos do exist of them enjoying time together—photos from a summer vacation in Italy a few years ago.

So he’s dating someone… ok cool.
I swear every athlete has a kid and a secret relationship now. December 2024 is crazy though, like he just hid that?! Also Brazil game Sunday??
Wait, Johansen is the soccer player right? Thought that was like a teammate or something lol. If they both from Bryne, does that mean she’s related to everyone there or what. My brain keeps mixing it up with the Italy vacation photos too, like were those recent or from 2012.
Not me thinking the article was about his summer transfer rumors ending… turns out it’s just relationship questions. But honestly, who cares who he’s dating when he’s about to play Brazil. If he’s got a son already, can he even be focusing? People act like sports is all mental but then they add a baby and suddenly he’s superhuman.
