Erling Haaland got a sweet tribute from his girlfriend as he celebrated his 26th birthday.
The Norwegian soccer star, who became a viral sensation during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, turned 26 on Tuesday, July 21. His girlfriend Isabel Haugseng Johansen celebrated with a post on Instagram, sharing two photos with Haaland and writing, “Happy birthday my love.”
The first photo showed the couple posing together on a yacht. Haaland wore a black tank top with a gold cross chain, while Johansen, 22, wore a light blue dress for the occasion. The second picture Johansen shared was a selfie she took with her beau.
Haaland commented on the post, “Nice.”
Johansen also shared photos to her Instagram Story on Tuesday from aboard the yacht where she and Haaland appeared to celebrate his birthday with friends. The group enjoyed a luxe food spread of meats, cheeses and berries, as seen in two photos shared by Johansen.
After she shared photos of their feast, Johansen, a former soccer player, posted a picture of Haaland and co. gathered around the yacht near the water.
Another friend aboard posted a picture of a mini golf course on the yacht.
Haaland and Johansen have known each other since they were kids and have been dating since at least 2021. They welcomed their first child together three years later, and while they mostly prefer to keep their family life out of the spotlight, Johansen is a regular supporter of her beau at his games.

In October 2025, Haaland spoke to the Associated Press about fatherhood and how it’s helped him get into the best shape of his life. “You can be physically ready but you need to be mentally ready as well,” he said. “And to be honest, with a kid, it makes me even better because I actually disconnect more than ever.”
He added, “I don’t think of football at all, which sometimes, when you are younger, you think of this and that. You worry a little bit about things. But when I go home, I relax even more. I think I need to give a shout-out to my son.”
