Swedish superstar Zara Larsson has revealed that her Swedish-Gambian boyfriend, Lamin Holmén, loves taking care of her- including cooking and cleaning at home.

In a recent interview, the award-winning singer described Lamin as “kind and caring,” adding that he always makes sure everything is in order when she returns home.

“He’s so nice and caring. When I get home, he’s usually cleaned everything or is cooking,” Zara said, sharing that there was even a time when she was feeling down and Lamin surprised her with a flower to cheer her up.

Zara, currently Sweden’s biggest international music export, confirmed her relationship with Lamin in 2021, and since then, their romance has continued to blossom. She often speaks fondly of him in interviews, describing their relationship as happy and supportive.

When asked whether wedding bells might be ringing soon, Zara responded coyly:

“We shall see,” she said, declining to elaborate further.

Lamin Holmén is a well-known dancer and performer who has appeared on numerous Swedish TV shows and stages. His father hails from The Gambia, and Lamin visits the country regularly, even celebrating his birthday here in 2019.

Some Gambians are now wondering: Will he one day take his superstar girlfriend to The Gambia?
