Dolph Lundgrenhas two daughters: Ida Lundgren and Greta Lundgren.

The Swedish actor shares his kids with his ex-wife, Anette Qviberg, and they are taking after him. Not only have Ida and Greta inherited their father’s striking looks, but they’ve also followed in his creative and fitness-minded footsteps.

In 1994, the actor married interior designer Qviberg, and two years later, the pair welcomed their first child, Ida. In 2001, their younger daughter, Greta, was born.

Despite his rising acting career, theRocky IVstar focused on fatherhood. “I had 10 years in Europe when my priority was to raise my kids outside of New York and Hollywood,” he toldMen’s Healthin 2012.He added that, even though he made films during that time, he “really didn’t put that much work into it.”

In 2011, Dolph and Qviberg divorced after 16 years of marriage. They had been living in Marbella, Spain, but following the split, Dolph moved back to Los Angeles to focus on his career.

Addressing theirnearly 40-year age gap, theCreed IIstar told Graham Bensinger, “I feel like Emma is very mature for her age, for sure.”

Still, he was worried about what his kids would think, and toldjournalist Kjersti Flaain an interview, “When I met Emma, I realized that it would be a bit strange telling my daughters about her. But they are both very open and emotionally mature and I have always been very open with them about everything. So, I told them.”

He added: “They are happy when I am happy. That’s the only thing that matters to them. Emma has been a gift to me. I think my daughters feel the same way.”

Dolph and Qviberg welcomed their first child, Ida, on April 29, 1996.

By the time she was born, Dolph was at the height of his fame thanks to films likeRocky IV(1985) andShowdown in Little Tokyo(1991). Still, Ida’s parents chose to raise her away from the spotlight. After living in Sweden for the first year of her life, the family moved to London and then Marbella, Spain, where she spent most of her childhood.

In an appearance on the web seriesWomen’s WorldShow,Ida spoke about growing up with an actor father. Despite his hypermasculine on-screen persona, she said that Dolph couldn’t be further from his movie villain characters. “He’s very emotional,” she said. “He looks very macho, but very deep inside [he’s sensitive].”

She went on to say that he was the “tough” parent at home while Qviberg was more “relaxed,” adding that as a child, she was “very scared of him.”

Still, Ida said, “We’ve always had a very good relationship. Even if he was traveling a lot and working a lot when I was young, we still kept very close.”

Like her dad, Ida has pursued a career in the entertainment industry. After graduating from school, she signed with agencies like Wilhelmina, Trend, Mikas and Elite Model Management. However, her real passion lies in acting.

“I loved working with her and she did a great job,” Dolph toldSciFiNowof the experience. “She’s very natural and it was good to help her gain some more experience.”

He added that he knew firsthand how difficult the movie business can be, saying, “Everyone has a mentor or someone who believes in them, and I believe in her.”

In May 2023, Dolph shared that he had beendiagnosed with kidney cancereight years prior in an appearance onIn Depth with Graham Bensinger.Ida also spoke to Bensinger, tearing up when talking about her dad’s cancer diagnosis.
