Erling Haaland has shared a rare insight into his personal life with girlfriend Isabel Haugseng Johansen through a newly released film this Thursday.

The 25-year-old Manchester City star, known for his private nature, invites viewers inside his six-bedroom home in Alderley Edge, Cheshire, alongside his 22-year-old partner. This intimate look is part of the debut content on his brand-new YouTube channel.

In the film’s early segments, the couple, who became parents for the first time in December, open up about the beginnings of their relationship and their shared experiences playing youth football.

Haaland amusingly likens Johansen to a Manchester United icon, saying, “Ryan Giggs! Left wing, swinging them in.”

Responding with a laugh, Johansen admits, “Honestly, I wasn’t the best at dribbling. I relied more on speed—kind of like him. I don’t think you’re the best dribbler, but you’ve got the speed!”

Haaland joined Bryne at the age of five and spent more than 10 years with the Norwegian side before later having spells at RB Salzburg, Dortmund and now City.

The couple, who have yet to publicly reveal their young son’s name, started dating when he was at Borussia Dortmund, with Isabel making frequent trips to visit him.

And in the film, Haaland offers an insight into how they got together. ‘She remembers many times that she’s seen me [when we were younger], but I don’t!’

Haaland then references his viral music video, which he rapped in alongside his friends Erik Sandberg and Erik Botheim – and was seen at the time by Johansen.

The trio performed under the name ‘Flow Kingz’, with Haaland rapping as he held BBQ utensils in his playhouse.

And Johansen reveals she actually liked one of his friends before ‘changing her view after I saw you’. ‘I do think it’s fate, but you don’t,’ she tells Haaland in the video. 

Later in the video, the couple are seen cooking a dinner of tomahawk steaks – which the City striker bought from a local farm – with potatoes, a bearnaise sauce and a tomato and red onion salad.

Haaland jokes he did not expect his partner’s bearnaise sauce to be as good as it was. ‘Better than I thought,’ he says. ‘Very good sauce!’

Johansen has been increasingly seen in the public eye during Haaland’s time at City, celebrating with him during their trophy successes.

Haaland and Johansen were pictured holidaying on a yacht in Ibiza in the summer, before attending fashion shows in Rome.

In an interview published in September, the Norwegian star was also asked what a romantic evening with Johansen looks like.

‘I cook,’ Haaland said. ‘This will probably sound a bit embarrassing to her, but she likes to play [games]. So we play Minecraft together. We build houses and all that.

‘Or we go home to Bryne and order kebabs.’ Haaland has previously named kebabs as his favourite food – and revealed could even serve them at their wedding.

Haaland has made a sensational start to the new season, scoring 15 goals in 11 matches in all competitions.

City are three points behind leaders Arsenal ahead of their next Premier League match, a trip to Aston Villa on Sunday.
