They already met on the first day of the audition. After singing a duet together, the “Idol” participants Minou Nilsson and Alexander Frithiofsson found love in each other.
– He’s incredible, I’m just really happy, says Minou Nilsson.
After “Idol” contestants Minou Nilsson and Alexander Frithiofsson sang the duet “Shallow” together, messages poured in from viewers who thought they should become a couple. When the episode aired, they had already become together, but Minou Nilsson tells TV4 Nyheterna that the relationship began as a friendship.
– It’s clear that you might have a little eye on each other, but we clicked so well and became very good friends.
Before the solo song, Minou Nilsson struggled with hoarseness and voice problems, and then Alexander Frithiofsson became an important support.
– I felt a little bad because of the voice, and he was such a great support both during the solo song and when we did the duets. So we got very close.
Then they were together: “At dinner by the water”
The participants had contact after their final auditions, and during the summer Minou went to Gothenburg to greet Alexander.
She says they dated throughout the summer, and officially became a couple after going to Spain together.
– We were already together before, but we had never said it outright. So that’s where we said it, as we sat having dinner by the water.
“The last thing I thought”
During Saturday’s episode, it was clear which of the participants made it through the final audition to the live Saturday finals. Minou Nilsson was one of the 14 who progressed, but Alexander Frithiofsson fell on the finish line. During the fall, he will be in the “Idol” arena cheering on his girlfriend.
– He will be here every Saturday and support. He has been a pillar of support throughout this period and is so happy for me, so we don’t feel any competition between us at all.
Over the years, several love couples have formed among the program’s participants, but Minou Nilsson had no expectations of finding love through the program.
– It was probably the last thing I thought, that someone would be found. But I’m very happy about it, because otherwise we probably wouldn’t have met because we live in different cities.
