Long before fans cheered him on as He-Man, Dolph Lundgren was busy playing another role far more important to him, father. The action icon shares two daughters, Ida and Greta, and later found love again with wife Emma Krokdal, who has remained by his side through some of the most challenging chapters of his life. And as Masters of the Universe puts Lundgren back in the spotlight, interest in the family behind the star is growing once again.

Here's everything to know about the Dolph Lundgren's daughters and wife.

Dolph Lundgren shares daughters Ida and Greta with his first wife, Anette Qviberg, whom he was married to from 1994 to 2011. The eldest, Ida, followed her father into the entertainment industry, building careers in both modelling and acting. She made her screen debut in Command Performance (2009), directed by Lundgren himself, before later starring alongside him in Castle Falls (2021). Despite his intimidating action-hero image, Ida once described her father as "very emotional" and admitted the pair have always remained incredibly close.

Greta, meanwhile, has pursued a more creative path as an aspiring model and photographer while largely staying away from Hollywood's spotlight. The father-daughter bond has remained especially strong over the years, with Lundgren once calling it "very special" and later sharing a heartfelt tribute to his "beautiful daughter" after a trip to Stockholm. Greta has also worked alongside her father behind the scenes, assisting during the production of Wanted Man while continuing to build her own creative portfolio.

While Lundgren's bond with his daughters remains one of the defining parts of his life, his love story with Emma Krokdal has captured plenty of attention over the years.

Who is Dolph Lundgren's wife Emma Krokdal?

Emma Krokdal is a Norwegian personal trainer who first met Dolph Lundgren at an Equinox gym in West Hollywood. According to the actor, he was simply looking for the boxing room when he stopped Krokdal for directions, only to experience what he later described as an instant "uh-oh" moment. The pair began as friends before their relationship blossomed, with Lundgren later revealing that one of the things that drew him to Emma was the fact that she had no idea he was a Hollywood star when they first met.

However, while the new Masters of the Universe arrives on June 5, fans can revisit Lundgren's original He-Man adventure on Amazon Prime Video.

From raising two daughters away from Hollywood's spotlight to finding a second chance at love with Emma Krokdal, Lundgren's story off-screen has proven just as compelling as anything audiences have seen on screen.
