Alexander Skarsgård is in luck. After months of speculation, the actor finally confirmed that he has welcomed his first child with his partner, the Swedish actress Tuva Novotny.
The 46-year-old actor confirmed the news with a comment to a question from the Entertainment Tonight portal, which congratulated him on the red carpet during the premiere of the fourth season of Succession, the successful HBO series in which the Swedish actor participates . The interpreter responded with a “thank you very much”, which finally confirmed his paternity.
A news that was actually an open secret, after the actor was seen walking with his partner and the newborn last November. What’s more, the premiere of this new season of the series was one of the first public outings for the actor, who plays Lukas in the series, since the presumed birth of the child. Dozens of his followers gathered around the theater, and the Swedish interpreter did not stop receiving gifts from them, such as some stuffed animals, which he showed to the media gathered there.
The mother of the creature is the Swedish actress Tuva Novotny, 42, with whom the actor has been maintaining a discreet relationship that they have yet to confirm publicly. Novotny is also the mother of two children. The eldest, Ella, is 16 years old; the minor, neither her age nor her sex are known. Both are the result of her relationship with Nicolai Bjerrum Lersbryggen.
Skarsgård has always had one of his plans to be a father. After unsuccessful relationships with celebrities such as actresses Evan Rachel Wood, Kate Bosworth or British designer Alexa Chung.
The HBO star was clear that he would fulfill the task of “surpassing” his father, veteran actor Stellan Skarsgård, patriarch of the well-known clan made up of Alexander and his brothers: Gustaf (Vikings), Samuel, who is dedicated to producing cinematographic; Bill (It), Valter (Funhouse) and Eija, who is dedicated to the world of fashion. In addition, he has two other little brothers, Ossian and Kolbjörn, the result of his father’s marriage to Megan Everett.
“My father has eight children, so he had better start,” Alexander Skarsgård joked in an interview in 2013, “It was great growing up in a madhouse. It was a lot of fun.”
At the moment, it does not seem that he is going to have the same trajectory as Skarsgård senior, who had children from the 70s until well into the 2010s. Now, any father or mother will be able to confirm that there are times that with one, it is more than enough.
