“Find a nice Swedish girl to marry and don’t let all those American girls confuse you” is what Zäta’s mum Ulla, probably told him as he set off for the USA to begin his NHL career for the Detroit Red Wings. Henrik’s now massively successful career kicked off officially with the 2002–03 season.
He may have done mom proud by bagging the dashing Emma Andersson, who shot to fame in the TV series, Expedition Robinson released in 2001. If you have been around for some time, you may know it by another name, Survivor.
Today’s spotlight is on Henrik Zetterberg’s Wife, Emma Andersson. We take a quick tour of some of the trials, tribulations, and delights she has enjoyed as a hockey wife. She definitely met the bar set by all NFL players. “She is smoking hot!”
