Dolph Lundgren marries fiancée after being given 'two to three years to live'
Rocky actor Dolph Lundgren has married his fiancée after previously revealing he was given 'two to three years to live'.
The 65-year-old and his partner Emma Krokdal, 27, tied the knot in a gorgeous ceremony in Mykonos, Greece.
Rocky IV star Dolph and Emma got engaged in 2020 during a romantic getaway to Sweden. Dolph and Emma, who is almost 40 years his junior, went public with their relationship several months before.
According to the couple, they chose to tie the knot at their villa in Mykonos surrounded by their close friends and family.
"With both Covid and a long road of challenging medical treatments, we've had to push our marriage plans many times," they said.

He opened up about his devastating diagnosis for the first in May. The Swedish actor said the first tumour was found in his kidney eight years ago and treated but the cancer spread to his lungs, spine, liver and stomach and in 2020 he was told the cancer was terminal.

Dolph said he had scans over the course of five years which were "fine" before an MRI in 2020 found "more tumours" and he was thrown back on the ropes.
He said that a doctor later revealed that "one more tumour" had been found in his liver, adding on In Depth With Graham Bensinger: "At that point, it started to hit me that this is kinda something serious."
Dolph said that it had initially been hoped that the tumour would be removed but he was later told that it had grown "too big" for surgery.
He was put on systemic therapy but his health suffered from side effects including diarrhoea and weight loss.
"So I kinda asked him y'know 'how long do you think I have got left?'" Dolph explained. "I think he said two or three years but I could tell in his voice that he probably thought it was less."
