Inside Dolph Lundgren’s Family Life
Action film icon Dolph Lundgren, renowned for his role in Rocky IV, enjoys a loving home life. The 67-year-old actor wed Emma Krokdal, 28, in 2023 and is also the father to two daughters, Ida and Greta Lundgren, from his previous marriage to Anette Qviberg.
In a 2012 interview, Lundgren revealed his decade-long residence in Europe was to prioritize raising his daughters away from the spotlight of New York and Hollywood. With his daughters now adults, Dolph and Krokdal have returned to the United States, settling in Los Angeles, California.
Lundgren has openly discussed the influence of his relationship with his father, whom he described as physically abusive. He explained in a 2018 interview that this upbringing significantly shaped him as both an individual and a parent. He stated, “My dad was a genius in some ways and he was crazy in other ways. He was very abusive. I loved him and I hated him at times. I’ve forgiven him — he grew up during the Depression, where people were starving to death. He grew up in a different time.”
