Magnus Carlsen is getting married

Magnus Carlsen is set to marry Ella Victoria Malone this weekend, just days after securing his eighth World Blitz Championship title. The couple, who confirmed the news to Verdens Gang (VG), plan to keep the ceremony private. Malone, who has an American father and a Norwegian mother, grew up in Oslo and now lives with Carlsen, as she has taken on an increasingly vital role in his support team. | Photo: Amruta Mokal
