Meet Lovísa Ósk Gunnarsdóttir, wife of Ólafur Darri Ólafsson

Regardless, official husband and wife or not, Lovísa and Ólafur have their own family. Their eldest daughter, Helka, was born in 2010. And their second daughter, Embla, was born on July 10, 2014.
The Ólafsson-Gunnarsdóttir family posts a lot of family photos from holidays or festivals or just having a good time with the family. Both Lovísa and Ólafur love their daughters. However, Ólafur especially likes to sing with his daughter.
His daughter (probably Helka) can sing the song after hearing it only twice. And of course, Ólafur also likes to sing. Also, during the interview he mentioned that his favorite room in the house is his daughter’s.

As for work and profession, Lovísa Ósk Gunnarsdóttir is a dancer and choreographer. She danced her whole life. She began dancing at the age of four when she put on “daily dance shows in her living room”. In her professional life, she worked as a member of the Icelandic Dance Company (IDC).
IDC is Iceland’s national touring dance company based at the Reykjavik City Theater in Reykjavik. IDC not only travels all over Iceland, but also to various parts of the world. As part of the IDC, Lovísa traveled to different parts of the world.
His attitude towards dancing has changed a bit in recent years (2018) when he suffered an injury. Although she no longer dances as before, she has found other innovative ways of dancing and uses her body to convey stories.
His most recent and probably most popular work, When the Bleeding Stops, is the result of that change. When the bleeding stops, it means menopause. Lovísa became interested in menopause when she herself was beginning to enter middle age.
