Helen Alfredsson Reveals Romance After Separation From Kent Nilsson

Golf star Helen Alfredsson has been in a relationship with fine art photographer Staffan Andersson for just over two years, the former major champion revealed to Aftonbladet, three years after her separation from ice hockey legend Kent “Kenta” Nilsson.

The relationship began unexpectedly during a golf tournament when Andersson stayed overnight at Alfredsson’s home alongside two friends, Nettavisen reported. After those guests contracted COVID-19, Alfredsson and Andersson spent significant time talking alone.

“We sat and talked and talked,” Alfredsson told Aftonbladet. “I felt so numb and thought I’d never feel anything again. I was also quite confused after the separation. It came out of nowhere. I’m very grateful for what life suddenly has given me. It really didn’t turn out the way I thought it would.”

Legal and Financial Dispute Over Property

While her relationship with Andersson developed, Alfredsson remained embroiled in a severe financial conflict with her ex-husband, Kent Nilsson, according to Nettavisen. A court ordered Alfredsson to pay Nilsson 3.5 million Swedish crowns in the spring regarding the division of their former shared villa.

In response, Alfredsson filed a lawsuit against the hockey former player demanding four million Swedish crowns plus interest, Nettavisen reported. The dispute centers on the sale of a Stockholm apartment and the payoff of an eight-million-crown joint loan. Alfredsson claimed her ex-husband used her share of the apartment sale proceeds to cover the entire debt rather than splitting the obligation.

“Now he doesn’t answer anything,” Alfredsson told Aftonbladet. “I think everything is just so damn sad. I’ve never had any intention of taking anything from him.”
