With his goal against the Ivory Coast, which qualified Norway for the round of 8, Erling Haaland confirms that he is already one of the figures of the 2026 World Cup. However, the prodigious forward is not only being commented on for his goals, but also by his girlfriend: Isabel Haugseng Johansen.

Since the game against Iraq, in which Norway's debut and Haaland scored a double, their partner has begun to become a name among fans.

His presence in the stadiums and the images he has shared on social networks with the footballer have boosted his popularity, generating interest in his personal life, his history and his relationship with the Manchester City attacker.

Who is Isabel Haugseng Johansen and why is she so viral now?

In addition to being an attractive woman, Isabel Haugseng's virality is especially due to Haaland's performance in the 2026 World Cup. The Norwegian has scored five goals in four games for his national team, which shows that he is one of the best attackers in the tournament and on the planet, currently.

Isabel is originally from Norway and grew up in Bryne, the same city where Erling Haaland was trained, notes the Clarín newspaper. This detail has caught the attention of fans, since both share roots in the same environment, that is, she was a soccer player.

Since she was young, Isabel was linked to sports. She played football in the women's categories for Bryne FK, the club where Haaland also took her first steps. That early connection with football is one of the points that stand out the most when reviewing its history.

As time went by, he decided to move away from professional competition. According to interviews collected by Norwegian media, he left football after the pandemic and later began studies related to nutrition, a discipline in which he trained before focusing on his family life.

A low profile relationship that became media

The relationship between Isabel and Erling Haaland has generally remained far from the media spotlight. Both have opted for discretion, although in recent months their exposure has increased due to the forward's participation in international tournaments.

One of the aspects that caught the most attention was a statement from Haaland himself, who revealed in an interview that it was Isabel who took the first step in their relationship. According to what he said, she initially contacted him when they both shared an environment at Bryne FK.

The couple has also started a family. In December 2024, their son was born, a fact that both have decided to keep private, without sharing public details about his identity or images on social networks.

However, Isabel Haugseng's Instagram account has grown significantly, now consolidating her as a figure followed by thousands of fans. Like Georgina Rodríguez or Antonela Rocuzzo: she is one of the new “brides of the World Cup”.
