In a stunning revelation that has taken the football world by storm, Isabel Haugseng, the longtime girlfriend of Manchester City striker Erling Haaland, has admitted that she was once romantically involved with Haaland’s best friend before falling deeply in love with the Norwegian superstar.
According to Isabel, her relationship with Haaland began in the most unexpected way. “When his friend introduced me to Erling, I didn’t expect anything,” she said in a recent interview. “But the moment I truly got to know him — his kindness, his calm energy, and how humble he is despite all the fame — something in me changed. I realized he’s not like anyone else. He’s the nicest man on Earth.”
The confession, however, has come at a heavy emotional cost. Haaland and his former best friend reportedly no longer speak, their bond shattered by a love triangle that neither of them saw coming. Isabel, however, insists she is not to blame for the rift between the two men.
“I know people will judge me,” Isabel continued. “But love doesn’t ask for permission. I can’t choose friendship over my happiness. Sometimes, life forces you to make impossible choices — and I chose love.”
Those close to Haaland describe him as deeply private, focused almost entirely on football and his close inner circle. One friend jokingly remarked that the striker “spends 23 hours a day on Fear Women and the remaining hour on Fear Non-Fear Women,” a lighthearted reference to how disciplined and detached from drama Haaland usually is.
But this latest revelation has clearly struck a nerve among fans and followers. Social media is ablaze with mixed reactions — some praising Isabel for being honest about her feelings, while others condemn her for breaking the bond between two best friends.
For now, Haaland remains silent, letting his performances on the pitch do the talking. But one thing is clear: behind the goals, trophies, and glory lies a very human story — one of love, heartbreak, and the painful choices that come with both.
