Dolph Lundgren, aged 68, and his wife Emma Krokdal, 30, enjoyed a date night in Beverly Hills, California. The couple graced Arnold Schwarzenegger’s All-Stars for Change charity event held at Novikov Beverly Hills.
Lundgren, known for his role in ‘Rocky,’ wore a black suit paired with a white dress shirt and gray sneakers. Krokdal chose a stylish black ensemble, including a one-shoulder chiffon top and an asymmetrical satin wrap miniskirt. She completed her look with beige sequinned heels and a burnt orange satin clutch.
The event benefited After-School All-Stars, a nonprofit established in 1992 by Schwarzenegger. It offers free after-school and summer programs for young people.
Dolph Lundgren and Emma Krokdal stepped out for a date night at Arnold Schwarzenegger’s fundraiser.
During the evening, Lundgren showcased his bartending skills, mixing drinks for attendees. Sponsors of the event included his own vodka brand, Hard Cut Vodka, co-founded with Krokdal in 2019. The brand officially launched in March 2025.
In a social media update, Lundgren thanked Novikov Beverly Hills and Hard Cut Vodka for supporting Schwarzenegger’s charity. “A big thank you to Novikov Beverly Hills and Hard Cut Vodka for a fantastic event supporting my good friend Arnold Schwarzenegger’s charity, After-School All-Stars,” he wrote.
Lundgren and Schwarzenegger share a 40-year friendship, united by their mutual fitness pursuits. Lundgren remembers looking up to Sylvester Stallone while working on ‘Rocky IV,’ cementing both a professional relationship and friendship.
The couple’s relationship has faced public scrutiny due to a significant age gap. Yet, Lundgren remains undeterred by negativity. “Age is just a number. All that matters is that you enjoy your life and your partner,” he expressed. “Emma is the best choice for me.”
Krokdal, in agreement, spoke about their bond and shared backgrounds. Both from Scandinavia, they initially met in 2019 at a gym in West Hollywood. Their connection was immediate, rooted in creativity and understanding of each other’s strengths.
Moreover, Krokdal has played a critical role in Lundgren’s health battles. Post a cancer diagnosis in 2015, and subsequent scares, Lundgren found support and resilience through her. In November 2024, he joyfully announced a cancer-free status following extensive treatment and a second medical opinion.
Experiencing cancer profoundly changed his perspective. Lundgren participates in survivorship therapy, acclimating to a refreshed outlook on life.
