Something that Gunilla has revealed, however, is that she receives money from Erika’s father. In an interview with GP in 2012, Gunilla was asked how she makes a living.
– With money from Erika’s father. A man who cannot provide for his woman is not a real man in my opinion, Gunilla said then.

When Gunilla Persson visited the Norwegian program “God kveld” in 2020, Gunilla told more about why she has chosen to keep Erika’s biological father a secret. For the journalist Dorthe Skappel Gunilla opened up.
– It’s an agreement, you could say, that I must keep quiet about certain things. It is out of consideration for Erika, Gunilla said in the interview.
Gunilla was 43 years old when she became Erika’s mother. In the interview with “God kveld”, Gunilla was asked if it was a conscious decision to have children so late.
– Not at all. I wanted to have children, but not with the wrong man. Then all of a sudden there was a rush. If I wanted a child, I had to act. And I did, she told me then.
