– I’m enjoying myself so far. I just got a small couch and stuff in. So it feels very good, says the newly moved Truls to Expressen.
– Haha, it’s a bit “man cave” about it. But then I have a girl that I’m going to poke flowers and stuff like that.

Girlfriend Leah will stay in Eslöv and they will try to get a long-distance relationship together. It is a joint decision not to move forward too quickly in their relationship.
– We haven’t been together that long and you’ve seen a lot of couples our age who move in together quickly and it goes fast and all of a sudden it ends. So we have chosen to go a slower route. We feel safe with that. It is close between Malmö and Eslöv and we meet every day, says Truls to the evening newspaper.
