‘Rocky IV’s Dolph Lundgren Gets Married at 65 after He Was Given Only 2 Years to Live

• Dolph Lundgren and Emma Krokdal got married!
• Lundgren and his 27-year-old bride said "I do" in a private ceremony in Greece, Mykonos.
• The wedding was a long time coming but had to be postponed due to Lundgren's secret cancer battle.

Dolph Lundgren is a well-known filmmaker and actor who had his breakthrough in the iconic movie "Rocky IV." But he's since starred in more record-breaking pictures like "Creed II," "Aquaman," and the "Expendables" franchise.

However, he recently shocked fans when he announced that he and his fiance, Emma Krokdal, got married in Greece, Mykonos, on July 13, 2023. Lundgren expressed that the wedding plans had been put off due to the pandemic and some of the medical treatments he had to endure.

But the couple decided to tie the knot in a private ceremony at their Mykonos villa with close friends and family. "We felt it was finally the right time to celebrate love, life, and happiness— in the land of the Gods," gushed Lundgren.

The "Rocky IV" star popped the question in 2020 in his home country, Sweden. The actor shared the good news on his social media and wrote, "Something very special happened here in Sweden."

Krokdal, a Norwegian personal trainer, 27, and the actor met at a West Hollywood Equinox, one of the very well-known fitness clubs. The two became friends first, but Lundgren, 65, said he did not even know that Krokdal liked him.

The personal trainer knew nothing about Lundgren, including his acting history. But after three years of knowing each other, the actor introduced her to his life and brought her to her first red carpet event in 2022 for the "Minions: The Rise of Gru" premiere.

Since making their relationship public, the couple has not been afraid to express their love for one another loudly. Lundgren even said he believed Krokdal was an angel sent down to help him.

The chance to begin a life as a married couple was almost not possible for Lundgren and his new wife. The "Expendables" star opened up about secretly battling cancer for the past eight years and being told he had two years to live.
