Recalling their first meeting, Erling revealed that it was Isabel who made the first step in their relationship. He also shared details about what they do in their free time. He was quoted as saying:

"She was the one who messaged me first. She came after me. She sent me a message. She played in the same club as me, Bryne. She was the one who checked me out. I wasn’t the one who checked her out. 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."

When Erling Haaland got candid about his girlfriend, Isabel Haugseng Johansen, being tired of football

"Yeah, I'm a football fan, so I watch all kinds of football. Actually, yesterday, we were eating dinner, and I checked if there were any games. Man Utd, West Ham is playing. Let's put it on. My missus said, 'I'm so sick of football. We watch it all the time.' And I'm like, 'Yeah, that's the reason why we are sitting here.'"
