FRIDA GUSTAVSSON WAS ONCE MARRIED

In 2015, two years before returning to the screens, she married Hjalmar Rechlin, a photographer from Stockholm. Their wedding ceremony was at Katarina Church in Stockholm, and as expected, the bride looked stunning for her perfect day.

The former model was adorned in a stylish wedding dress that made it into several fashion magazines. The groom also chronicled their wedding and love tale through his photography.

Unfortunately, their seemingly perfect union ended in 2017, and both parties have remained mute about the details behind their split. Following their divorce, the actress deleted their lovey-dovey posts on her social media pages, and before the year ran out, she surprised fans with a photo of another lover.

Engdahl moved into Gustavsson's Stockholm residence shortly after they began dating. Unlike her first marriage, this romance has survived the test of time, and the couple is already engaged, intending to have a wedding soon.

While these two may be planning a wedding, the actress admitted that she would love to grow their family. Speaking about kids, she said, "Yes we want that...I probably want children before 30!" Gustavsson appears fulfilled in her relationship with Engdahl, and she frequently shares photos of their time together.
