This year’s season of “Paradise Hotel” is well underway, and as always, the participants at the scandal hotel offer drama, intrigue and love. And that is exactly what love is Maiken Utsi (21) and Ludvig Dyreng (22) which has accounted for this year.
They found the tone during the recording, and the flirtation developed further after they returned home from Mexico earlier this year. Utsi has been with Dyreng in Drammen a lot since then, and now the couple reveals that they will be cohabiting on a regular basis.
– Ludvig and I have lived together since we came home from Mexico. It has worked very well and we get along well. We are not made for distance conditions, says Maiken Utsi, who is now moving from Tromsø.
She continues:
– Ludvig almost gave me an ultimatum, that if we were to be lovers, I would have to move to Drammen.
–
– Big step
And so it will be.
But it is not with a light heart that the “Paradise Hotel” participant leaves his hometown in the north and sets course for the east. She will especially miss her sister and aunt’s child, with whom she has lived in Tromsø lately. The 21-year-old also has many friends in his hometown.
– But that’s how it is, you have to sacrifice a little for love, she says, and tells more about the decision to move south:
– I do not really want to move, but in recent years I have talked about living in Oslo just to try. I do not think one should live in the same place all one’s life, so this was a perfect opportunity.
The couple is now looking for an apartment of around eighty square meters, preferably with two bedrooms so that friends and family can visit. While waiting for a new apartment, they live at Dyreng’s mother in Drammen.
– We will rent in the first place. It’s a pretty big step to buy an apartment together, and I do not want us to take all the steps now. We can wait until next summer, for example, says the reality participant.

– A roller coaster
Another reason why the couple should rent is that they want to find out where they want to settle in the long run.
– Will it be Oslo, Drammen or will I be able to get him with me to Tromsø? I do not think so at first, but maybe in a few years, laughs utsi to Dagbladet.
This summer she has been at home in Tromsø and worked in a grocery store and in a nursing home – when she has not been to Drammen with her boyfriend. Now she is looking forward to spending every day with her great love.
– We have been together for three and a half months. Now it’s going very well. It has been a roller coaster when we have been apart, because we are not so good at distance. We thrive best in each other’s company and not apart.
The apartment hunt is well underway, and they are daily looking for a new place to live. Soon they will start contacting people and going on tours.
– It will be nice to have your own where you can make memories and have your own routines. I’m really looking forward to it, says Utsi, who will be writing a bachelor’s thesis in sports science at the University of Tromsø this autumn.
– There is no attendance, so I can write it anywhere.
His girlfriend Ludvig will soon finish as an electrician’s apprentice, and will then go out to work full time.

Finished with «Paradise»
Maiken Utsi also dreams of having a career in social media. She could also imagine studying more later, but right now she is looking forward to a slightly slower pace.
– I have studied all my life and had no break. So it will actually be the first break this autumn, then I will only write a bachelor’s degree, and it is not a full study, says the reality participant to Dagbladet.
She is at least done making scandal TV this time around. The 21-year-old has received death threats due to her participation in “Paradise Hotel”, which has affected her.
– “Paradise Hotel” has not given more flavor. There has been a lot of chaos from the participants and general agitation. I will not do that again, says Utsi.
But she would like to participate in programs such as “71 degrees north”, “The farm” or preferably: “Shall we dance”.
– It’s my biggest dream. I can not dance, so it would have been fun to learn a little rhythm, she concludes.
