Lars-Jørgen Salvesen is a Norwegian professional footballer from Kristiansand. The striker, born on 19 February 1996, joined Derby County from Viking in January 2025. Although Salvesen generally keeps his private life away from extensive media coverage, some reliable information is available about his wife and younger brother.

Who Is Lars-Jørgen Salvesen’s Wife?

Lars-Jørgen Salvesen is married to Amalie Molander. They reportedly met while Salvesen was playing for Sarpsborg 08 during the first half of 2019.

Salvesen later described Amalie as the best thing that happened to him during his time in Sarpsborg. The couple subsequently lived together in Stavanger while he represented Viking. Amalie occasionally appeared alongside him in photographs but otherwise maintained a relatively private public profile. Their relationship was discussed in an October 2024 interview with Stavanger Aftenblad.

When Did Lars-Jørgen Salvesen Get Married?

Lars-Jørgen and Amalie married in Italy in June 2026. Photographs shared after the ceremony identified them as Mr and Mrs Salvesen, while Derby County congratulated the newly married couple.

Before the ceremony, Norwegian reporting revealed that the couple had been planning what they described as their dream wedding in Italy. Amalie should therefore be described as Salvesen’s wife, rather than his girlfriend.

Does Lars-Jørgen Salvesen Have Children?

There is currently no reliable public confirmation that Lars-Jørgen Salvesen and Amalie have children. Neither Salvesen, Derby County nor established Norwegian media outlets have announced that the couple are parents.

This does not definitively establish that they have no children; it means that no children have been publicly documented. Any website claiming names or other personal details without a dependable source should be treated cautiously.

Who Are Lars-Jørgen Salvesen’s Parents?

The names and occupations of Lars-Jørgen Salvesen’s parents have not been disclosed in reliable public sources. He appears to have chosen not to place his mother and father in the media spotlight.

What is known is that Salvesen was born and raised in Kristiansand, Norway. His football development began with the local club FK Vigør before he joined IK Start, where he made his top-flight debut as a teenager. This suggests that his formative years and earliest football experiences were closely connected to the Kristiansand area, although it would be speculative to assign particular roles to his parents without direct evidence.

Who Is Lars-Jørgen Salvesen’s Brother?

Lars-Jørgen has a younger brother named Bernhard Salvesen, who has also played football. Bernhard followed a pathway similar to his older brother, progressing from Vigør into Start’s system.

Bernhard attracted attention in 2019 when he scored a memorable goal as Start defeated Vålerenga in a Norway Cup youth final. Contemporary reporting explicitly identified him as the younger brother of Lars-Jørgen. He later became a Start player, continuing the family’s connection with the Kristiansand club. The relationship is documented in reports by Aftenposten.

Bernhard is the only sibling who has been reliably identified in public reporting. There is no verified information showing that Lars-Jørgen has additional brothers or sisters.

Lars-Jørgen Salvesen’s Family Background

Salvesen comes from a Norwegian footballing family in the sense that both he and his younger brother developed through clubs in Kristiansand. Lars-Jørgen established himself as a professional striker through spells with Start, Ullensaker/Kisa, Sarpsborg 08, Strømsgodset, Bodø/Glimt and Viking before moving to England.

His family life has remained comparatively private throughout that career. Public coverage has concentrated mainly on his relationship with Amalie and Bernhard’s own football development. Details about his parents and any wider extended family have not been reliably published.
