– Han der will be the father of my children, was the first thought that struck me.
This is what presenter and journalist Cathrine Fossum (46) says in a longer interview with Kamille.
She is of course talking about her husband Anders Hovdan, with whom she now has two children, Magnus (12) and Maria (14), together.
Kari: – Extremely unattractive men
But what perhaps not everyone knows is that Hovdan made an impression on Fossum already at secondary school. He stepped over her, and she remembers him as a guy with a red headband, she tells the magazine.
Fossum has so far not responded to Dagbladet’s inquiries.
– Up front
But many years would pass before anything happened between them. Fossum was 28 when she met the boy with the headband again at a party.
– We celebrated New Year’s Eve together a short time later, and then I remember thinking: “No, now I just get to kiss him”. I was perhaps a little more forward. That’s probably how it still is, Fossum admits to Kamille.
A few days later they were at the cinema, and since then it has been them.
Ended
For many, Fossum is a familiar face from the TV screen.
But after nearly 20 years as a permanent presenter and news anchor on TV 2, the news came in December last year that she was to quit.
– I am incredibly happy with TV 2 as a workplace, but luckily I can still call it my workplace. Just a little in a different way. I am very much looking forward to developing myself further as a presenter, Fossum told TV 2 at the time.
Fossum clarified that she did not quit TV 2, but joined the media house as a freelancer, and will, among other things, continue to work with the programme, Sommerhytta, but also some other projects.
– I am looking forward to this, and I am incredibly motivated for new tasks, Fossum elaborated.
