This is Helene Spilling (28) and Martin Ødegaard (25)’s first child together.

It was in August that the former professional dancer and the current national football team captain announced that they were expecting a child. – We can’t wait to meet you, our little baby, they wrote on Instagram then. At a press conference for the Norwegian national team earlier this autumn, Ødegaard was asked about how he will be like a father. – It is difficult to say. It is probably what most people say; that you don’t quite know what you’re going for until you suddenly stand there. But I’m really looking forward to it, said Ødegaard in September. At the same time, he said that it was “in the air” that Spilling would move to London. CELEBRATION: Ødegaard celebrated like this against West Ham.

During the news series “Drømmen om EC”, which came out earlier this year, Ødegaard opened up about his relationship with Spilling. – I feel life has gotten a few notches better, so it’s nice to have someone to share everything that happens with.
