Petter Pilgaard's Significant Absence Raises Eyebrows at Event

Vendela Kirsebom Dazzles Alone

On Thursday, TV 2 presented its lineup for the exciting autumn season. Unlike previous years, the launch took place at Sentralen in Oslo rather than Bergen. Despite the inclement weather, celebrities were eager to attend, including former supermodel Vendela Kirsebom (57), who appeared without her husband, Petter Pilgaard (44).

Reasons Behind Pilgaard's Absence

Vendela shared with Nettavisen that Petter was busy at work. 'Petter is currently in his tractor, likely hauling some dirt or branches,' she noted. This is not a unique scenario, as Petter's commitment to his new path in the construction business has kept him from several events.

Transitioning Careers

Back in 2020, Petter Pilgaard made a significant career change, moving away from the television world to pursue a demanding job in the construction industry. Last year, he also launched an online store for workwear.

Physical Demands of Construction Work

Vendela commented on the toll this physical work takes on Petter, stating, 'He has a real man’s job and feels exhausted by the end of the day. He's quite worn out.' Moreover, this was not the first time Vendela walked the red carpet alone; her previous appearance without Petter at the star-studded ELLE party stirred similar discussions.

How They Met and Their Journey

The couple first crossed paths in 2016 while both were contestants on ‘Farmen Kjendis’, and they soon confirmed their romantic feelings. Two years ago, on June 17, 2022, they exchanged vows at Hotel Continental in Oslo.
