Prince Haakon and Mette-Marit Tjessem Hoiby
A rock ’n’ roll duo! Mett-Marit Tjessem Hoiby, a Norwegian commoner, met Prince Haakon in 1996 at Norway’s Quart Festival. The pair started dating two years later, when Hoiby was a single mother to a three-year-old boy named Marius, whom she shared with Morten Borg. Despite the controversy of Hoiby having a child out of wedlock, Haakon and Hoiby married on August, 25, 2001. The couple have since had two of their own children: Princess Ingrid (born in 2004) and Prince Sverre (born in 2005).
