Thus, their new life started as lovers while continuing their photo sharing on their respective social media handles.

With busy careers, Mattias and Ida continued to cherish their relationship. After they had confirmed their dating in 2016, they started to spend quality time with each other more than anything.

Hence, from lunch dates to hiking, the young couple found every minute to spend time together to pump up their love life, given the circumstances where Mattias had been traveling for his games.

Ida was committed to TV4 at that time and was busy as a sports reporter. With much dedication, their love life became successful as the pair started a family the following year.

2018-2019

Both Mattias and Ida were open about their pregnancy with their first child, a son named William. The little one was born in late march 2018 as William Ekholm Björnstad.

Interestingly, their little one was born right after Mattias had returned home from a road trip. Hence, his father thoroughly cared for him while Ida was recovering as a postnatal mother.

Björnstad had confirmed the arrival of her firstborn through an Instagram post where she mentioned that she was thankful for him.

The couple then became occupied as new and left no stone unturned to look after their only child. Their social media handles are filled with pictures of the couple’s new lives as responsible parents.

After being together for more than four years and having a toddler son, Mattias and Ida officially exchanged their wedding vows on July 19, 2020.

They were married in a small ceremony at a church back home in Stockholm, in front of a few friends and family. They are already across their second wedding anniversary as of 2022 and continue to become dedicated partners to each other.

After their lovely wedding, Mr. and Mrs. Ekholm welcomed their second child, a daughter named Maya, in February 2021.

An experienced mother for two years, the married couple was more than happy to extend their family and look after their little angel. The arrival of a daughter marked a different life route for both of them.

Likewise, Mattias and Ida are both grateful for the little one and have equally dedicated themselves to her as much as they were to William.

William, too, is fond of his little sister and is embracing his responsibilities as an elder brother.

The Ekholm-Björnstad family of four is happy and content to be together. They reside in Nashville as Mattias continues playing with the Nashville Predators.

He had signed a whopping $25 million contract extension deal with his old team on October 13, 2021. The agreement lasts for four years and has guaranteed an annual average value of $6.25 million.

Hence, this Swedish family’s location in the U.S.A. has made it easy for them to connect to other NHL players as fellow celebrity families.

2022

Even after two years of marriage and two kids later, Mattias and Ida’s love remains the same.

Nothing has changed for them while they search for something new to celebrate in many moments, having come this far. Hence, on July 19, 2022, this lovely couple returned to the church to renounce their wedding vows.

The NHL player was in a blue suit, while his wife opted for a simple long bride gown to relive their wedding again.
