Skarsgård and Sjöström welcomed their daughter named November in November 2020. In a November 2021 interview, the first-time dad gushed about his child's arrival:

"It has been important to me not to have children for the wrong reason, which made my daughter really feel like a gift when she arrived. Suddenly you have a new factor in your life that will affect all future decision-making."

When asked how her year in 2021 had been during a January 2022 red carpet interview, Sjöström said: "It has been great. I have given birth and been pregnant, so it has been a perfect period to bake it in."

Sjöström's boyfriend has gushed about their daughter on social media. In November 2021, Skarsgård posted a photo featuring him and his child November at the beach on his first Father's Day.

He posed facing away from the camera while holding her. The infant's face could also not be seen as she was wearing a hat. Her dad prefers keeping his life private, evident on his Instagram page, where he mainly posts about his work.

Despite that, Skarsgård was able to talk about his then-newborn daughter, whom he said he would "die and kill for," and his girlfriend Sjöström in a November 2021 interview.

When asked whether he got up early for the interview, he said it was no issue, adding he had a child back home who wakes up at eight. The doting dad was on paternity leave then, and November was 11 months old at the time.

Skarsgård also talked about his relationship with Sjöström. He said it was "incredibly romantic to live with someone, not because you are afraid of not being able to do without the other, but because you want to."
