During an interview with NRK, Haaland gave some rare insight into his relationship. “I cook dinner… It’s going to be a little embarrassing for her that I say this, but she likes video games. We play Minecraft together, we build houses and all that. Or we go back home to Bryne and order kebabs,” he said, according to beIN Sports. He later quipped that he might even serve kebabs at his future wedding: “At a wedding you want to offer the best, so why not?”
