“We chose to celebrate our love by getting married at our villa in Mykonos with family and a few close friends,”

“We felt it was finally the right time to celebrate love, life and happiness— in the land of the Gods.”

Their union news comes just days after Krokdal shared snaps from their romantic Mykonos getaway, which included luxurious dinners, yacht trips, and amazing views.

Ahead of the ceremony, Lundgren hinted at the wedding when he shared a photo of himself and his lovely fiancee cuddling in the pool with a stunning view of the city.

He simply captioned the shot, “Tomorrow is the day. Mykonos,” with a heart emoji.

The couple announced their engagement via Instagram in 2020 with a snap of Krokdal showing off her diamond ring.

The Expandables star wrote at the time, “Something very special happened here in Sweden,”

The couple started dating after the Swedish actor was diagnosed with cancer in 2015.

What we know about Dolph’s cancer battle

Dolph Lundgren kept his diagnosis away from the spotlight until May when he opened up about his health journey during an episode of In Depth With Graham Bensinger.

The Creed II star said,

“They found a tumor in my kidney and they took it out … but then they did a biopsy and it was cancerous,”
“Then I did scans every six months, then you do it every year, then it was fine for about five years.”

The Aquaman actor confirmed that his cancer came back in 2020 when the doctors found sic tumors in his liver and kidneys.

At the time, the Norwegian trainer shared her then-boyfriend’s illness. She said at the time,

“His mouth got really sore, his hands got sore, his feet, and he couldn’t eat anything warm or anything cold, anything spicy,”
“So that was a struggle to get food down so he kept losing weight.”

Dolph Lundgren almost gave up hope after a doctor told him that he only had a few years to live.

Dr. Alexandra Drakaki then told him that he was able to treat his cancer by targeting mutations in his tumors.

He said,

“Within three months, things were shrinking by 20 to 30 percent,”

Dolph Lundgren added that his tumors shrunk by 90% and he felt lucky to be alive.
