Erling Haaland reveals his favourite date night activity with girlfriend Isabel
Erling Haaland has opened up about his favourite date night activity with his girlfriend, Isabel Haugseng Johansen.
The 25-year-old Norwegian player might be one of football's biggest stars, but when it comes to date night with Isabel, his preference is surprisingly wholesome.
Forget luxury restaurants or flashy nights out, the Manchester City striker has revealed that his ideal evening involves Minecraft, homemade dinner and the occasional kebab to top it all off.
Speaking about their relationship, Haaland admitted their favourite way to spend time together is a little unexpected.

"I cook dinner," he said, per The Sun. "This will probably sound a bit embarrassing to her, but she likes to play video games.
"So we play Minecraft together. We sit and game and build houses together and all that.
"Or we go back home to Bryne and order kebabs."
Safe to say, it isn't quite what you'd expect from one of the world's highest-paid footballers.
Haaland and Isabel have been together since 2021, although the pair actually go back much further. They both grew up in the Norwegian town of Bryne and even played football for local club Bryne FK as teenagers.
While they knew each other growing up, romance didn't blossom until years later after Haaland had moved to Germany to play for Borussia Dortmund.
According to the footballer, it was Isabel who made the first move: "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."
The couple welcomed their first child together in December 2024 and have kept family life largely out of the public eye, choosing not to reveal their son's name or share photos of him.
Alongside Haaland's global fame, Isabel has also built a successful career of her own as a model and influencer, while remaining fiercely protective of their private life.
Speaking to Norway's KK magazine, she explained: "I want to protect my family, but at the same time I want people to have the opportunity to get to know me and who I am better.
"Then the challenge becomes setting boundaries for what is private and what is not."
England faces Norway on Saturday (11 July) in one of the biggest fixtures of the competition.
France beat Morocco yesterday (9 July), while Spain will play against Belgium later today (10 July).
The day after England's match, Argentina will play against Switzerland on Sunday (12 July).
