Dolph Lundgren’s Joyful New Chapter — Beating Cancer, Bonding With Family, and Embracing Love

Dolph Lundgren, 67, KO’d kidney cancer with the support of his 28-year-old wife, Emma Krokdal, and the happy couple was recently caught on camera in L.A. on an outing with his adult daughters — one of whom is the same age as his longtime love.

Now, sources say that Swedish movie stud Dolph, who says he nearly died from the disease in 2020, couldn’t care less about critics.

“Dolph really feels he’s getting a second chance at life, and he’s making the most of it,” a pal says. “Doctors gave him slim odds that he would survive his cancer. But he’s still above ground and enjoying every day — and any jeers fall on deaf ears.”

Insiders say the Rocky IV star’s children — Ida, 28, and Greta, 23, from his first marriage to model turned interior designer Anette Qviberg — feel the same way.

“They love their father deeply and are thrilled to still have him,” the source adds. “Now they just want him to be happy.”

Dolph first began dating Emma in 2015 when she was a teenage personal trainer in West Hollywood. He popped the question in 2020 and they got hitched in Mykonos, Greece, three years later.

The Universal Soldier star says of his Norwegian-born partner, “She’s quite mature,” and adds, “I think I’m quite youthful.”

The friend concurs, “Emma was with Dolph through pretty much all of his cancer ordeal. His daughters are glad to have her in his corner.”
