William Poromaa and Frida Karlsson broke up several months ago.
Now the couple reveals the truth about why they chose to keep it a secret.
– It hasn’t bothered me, says William Poromaa to Expressen.
Since their breakthrough in the Swedish national ski team, William Poromaa and Frida Karlsson have been one of sports Sweden’s most talked about couples. They both belong to the absolute world elite in the sport, and had been a couple since high school.
The truth about the decision
But a year ago, the couple chose to live separately. William Poromaa has chosen to settle in Sundsvall, and Frida Karlsson in Östersund. But they continued to be a couple, but after the WC came the news that shocked all Swedish ski lovers. They then said that they had chosen to break up, but that they were still good friends.
But the truth was that the breakup was not recent. The decision was made several months ago, but they still chose not to go ahead with it. Now the star couple reveals the truth about why.
– We felt that we wanted to focus on the sporting side and not have to answer questions like this. After the WC, I felt: “oh, it’s nice not to have to stand and pretend in interviews”, says Frida Karlsson to Expressen.

“Didn’t touch my back”
William Poromaa fully agrees with his former girlfriend. Poromaa believes that it was never too much of a problem for him to keep the breakup a secret, and that he could even have kept it that way.
– No, it has gone well. I could have kept it that way. It hasn’t bothered me that much. But it is clear that it is nice that it is out, so that there is no speculation, he says.
However, Frida Karlsson believes that there have been times when she has received specific questions about William, and that is something she is looking forward to avoiding.
– Well. It is both. We haven’t broken contact completely but are still good friends. There have probably been a couple of times when you’ve had to answer questions when things went well for the other person, says Frida Karlsson, who also adds that “it’s nice that it’s out”.
