Rumors surrounding freestyle rider Birk Ruud (22) and TV profile Tonje Frigstad (22) have abounded after she posted what could appear to be a kissing photo of the two on New Year’s Eve.
At the time, Frigstad wrote in a message to Good Evening Norway that they had not become lovers yet.
– We are not lovers, no, but there is a good atmosphere between us.
Shortly afterwards, the sports gala took place in Hamar, where the 22-year-olds appeared together on the red carpet.

There, Ruud could tell that he had grown very fond of Frigstad, but that she held back a little.
– I’ve opened up to Tonje and I’m very fond of her, so she’s the one holding back a bit, laughs Ruud.
Have become lovers
Now Ruud confirms opposite The daily newspaper that they have become lovers.
– Yes, me and Tonje are lovers now, finally, he says, and adds that it was nice to be able to publish the news after several weeks of rumours.
– We haven’t dated for that long, and it would have been easier to say that we are just lovers, instead of friends. And now we can finally do it, says Ruud to Dagbladet.
First met in Good evening Norway studio
The couple must have first met in the Good Evening Norge studio, Frigstad said on the red carpet for the Sports Gala.
– It was a short meeting, but that’s how we met. Then it didn’t take long before I googled myself and sent her a message, says Ruud.
The interview was done in connection with Ruud’s “71 degrees north: Norway’s toughest celebrity” participation in 2021.
