The love story between Laila Bagge51, and Korosh Kananian34, got his start one night at Riche nearly 10 years ago. Laila Bagge, who was then on the jury in Idol, was quite exhausted after the evening’s finale. But she agreed to hang out with her colleagues for a little while – and that’s when she caught sight of Korosh in the crowd.
“It was a Friday after an idol final. I was tired and wanted to go home! Suddenly he stood there with his smile and turned everything upside down…”, Laila has told about their electric meeting.
Laila and Korosh became a couple and moved in together on Lidingö. Korosh appeared in Laila Bagge’s reality series Lailaland on TV3, and by her side on red carpets and galas. Laila and Korosh also founded the beauty brand KoLai together.

Laila Bagge has two marriages under her belt – she was married to Anders Bagge up to the year 2001, and later with Niclas Wahlgren with whom she had the son Kit. Then the relationship with the American artist Mason Pitts Laila also has a son, Liam Pitts.
Laila and Niclas Wahlgren married in 2010 and divorced four years later. When Niclas was a guest on the Af Trus podcast, he told more about the reason for the breakup – and revealed that the divorce was on Laila’s initiative.
– I was left. And you have to accept that, but I can’t say it’s fun or good. Happy divorces, what are they? I don’t think there are any, this is definitely not one. Of course, I have heard and seen speculations such as “he must have been unfaithful” or “he must have hit her” but that is as far from me as you can get. It feels important to be able to say that the truth behind our divorce is that she got tired of me. It’s very sad, but it’s the truth, Niclas told the podcast.
But there was never a marriage between Laila and Korosh. Instead, they had a very romantic way of showing their love – with a kind of engagement ring bracelet where they put on a new diamond every year. There were a total of nine diamonds – then the relationship ended.
“Dear, want this to come directly from me. Me and Korosh have had 9 wonderful years together, now we are in a new phase, since some time we have decided to go our separate ways as friends,” wrote Laila on Instagram in the spring of 2024.
Since the breakup, Laila has had what looks like a lovely single summer. On social media, she has shown how she traveled with her friend Elin Härkönenand she has also had time for both parties and work.

The somewhat unexpected friendship between Laila and Filip has now been rewritten by Stoppa Pressarna, who call Filip a “Korosh copy”.

She has published a text message conversation between her and best friend Elin Härkönen, where Laila writes that it has been a long time since she had such a good laugh.
“It’s been a long time since I was lying on the floor laughing so hard I couldn’t breathe. Do I even need to say that this is not true????”, Laila wrote on her Instagram.
