Lisa is the teammate of Lina from Linkopings FC. As a professional athlete, Lisa Hurtig has played for other teams like Sundsvalls DFF, Bälinge IF, UmeÃ¥ Södra FF, and UmeÃ¥ IK.

Since their coming out as a couple in public, the two have received massive support from their fans. Her wife, Lisa, expressed how surprised she was to receive such love.

“I was a little surprised, I must admit that. Because people were coming up to me in the stands asking me about our relationship telling me that it was so inspiring to see that we could be so open about it. When they also asked me how it was for us back home in Sweden I was surprised that a county like France for example, hasn’t gotten any further with this yet.”

The couple had no plans to have children just a year into their marriage.

However, just a few mid-days into March, Lina Hurtig announced they were expecting their first child.

Indeed, she took her social media to talk about their lives and announce the news. Later on June 2021, the duo welcomed their first child, a beautiful baby girl.

Pride Month and Being role models

In the LGBTQ+ community, it is essential to have a role model in their lives.

Considered different by the people is already a daunting task to deal with, and they have no support or role model to make it even harder.

In an interview with Vavel, the couple expressed their opinion about having a role model and being one at that.

Lina was the first to respond,

“I don’t see myself as a role model. I have a hard time even see it like we’re standing up for something since I don’t think about it that way. We are just being ourselves and it feels weird to be a role model just by being myself.”

Following this was the reply from Lisa. And she states,

“A role model for me is every single person that dares to be themselves and live their lives as they want. I admire people who do just that. That’s a true role model for me and if I am a role model, that’s how I want us to be looked at.”

Despite thinking they are no role model material, we can be sure that many youths, especially players, look them up as their role models.
