Dirty divorce
In 1985, Pernilla Wahlgren (53) and Emilio Ingrosso (55) met during the Melodifestivalen, and quickly became one of Sweden’s hottest couples.
– I was ashamed
The love story between the two was on “everyone’s” lips, and in many ways reached its peak when the two married in 1993, four years after their first son, Oliver (31), was born. Five years later they got daughter Bianca, and and 1997 pcs Benjamin to the world.
In 2002, after 17 years as a couple, nine years as a married couple, happiness broke and it was the nail in the coffin for the star couple Pernilla and Emilio. There were long rumors about both, and it was to turn out to be both a public and dirty process.

– Palpitations every night
In 2006 it all peaked, when the duo ended up in court and Emilio was convicted of inciting the ex, according to Aftonbladet. Ingrosso was sentenced to pay 7,000 kroner and was also convicted of ill-treatment against Wahlgren. Today they should have a far better and more civilized relationship.
– I get palpitations every night, because that is when the quarrel begins, and the quarrel can be about anything, he recalls in the program.
About childhood: – A tough fight
The 23-year-old says that it burns around him even before he is born. The night he is born, his father is out on the town, without anyone really knowing what he is doing or exactly where he is.
– In my home there was chaos before I once had fingers and toes. My parents were unsure if they should keep me. But when my mother asked my grandfather for advice, he was clear: “You should keep this kid, there is something special about it.”

– She was my responsibility
The parents’ poor conditions meant that the 23-year-old had difficulty finding his role in growing up. He says that it was difficult to know whether he should be a “Wahlgren” or an “Ingrosso”.
– Dad was not there when I was little, and I tried to search for someone who could be. Mom was there, but she had to be both parents, but she was usually just a child too. She was my responsibility, he says honestly.
– It ruined our family
Shortly after the episode was released, the rest of the Wahlgren / Ingrosso family flocked to social media to pay tribute to the young artist’s honest words.
