Dolph Lundgren, 67, has revealed the ‘simple secret’ to being happily married to his wife Emma Krokdal, 29.
Best known for his iconic roles in hit movies like Rocky IV, Creed II and The Expendables, he married his second wife, who is 38 years younger than him, in 2023 after being with his first wife, Anette Qviberg, 59, for nearly 20 years.
Despite only being married a short while, the actor claims to have the ‘secret’ to a healthy relationship.
Speaking to Fox News, the actor said: “I have this new thing, I have to give her a hug, a nice big hug, 10 times a day,”
“I try to get a few before lunch,” Lundgren continued, “So I still have some in the bank [throughout the day]. It sounds simple and a little goofy, but doing that neutralizes a lot of disagreements and misunderstandings. And it makes us both feel good. That’s my new recipe now.”
“When you have disagreements, somebody wants to be right, but the other person also wants to be right. But you have to make your partner feel good, even when you both have disagreements.” he went on.
“That phrase [‘happy wife, happy life’] is true. You have to respect each other. You have to compliment each other.”
