Lisa Tønne confirms relationship with musician Erlend Smalås

Norwegian comedian and actress Lisa Tønne revealed that she is dating musician, composer and actor Erlend Smalås. The two first met as 14‑year‑olds in Trondheim and reconnected at a café in the city last year, after which they began a romantic relationship.

Tønne, who lives in Oslo, and Smalås, based in Trondheim, maintain a long‑distance partnership, meeting frequently and staying in touch via FaceTime. She is currently touring her autobiographical show “Elsk meg i plenum” in Trondheim, while Smalås continues his work with the award‑winning band “Rasmus og Verdens Beste Band.” The couple’s relationship follows Tønne’s 2022 separation from her former husband Kyrre Holm Johannessen after 18 years of marriage.
