Robinson Stars Dennis Johansson & Amanda Högvik Expecting a Baby

Reality television sweethearts Dennis Johansson and Amanda Högvik are expanding their family. The couple, who found love during their time competing on the Swedish reality show Robinson, announced on Tuesday, February 17, 2026, that they are expecting their first child.

The news was shared via a post on Instagram, as reported by Swedish outlet Hänt. Högvik, 31, described the pregnancy as the world’s most beautiful moving-in present, a sentiment echoed by Johansson, 27. The couple recently moved into a renovated former creamery in Mästerby, Gotland, a project they’ve been documenting online.

Johansson and Högvik’s relationship blossomed after appearing on the 2023 season of Robinson. While their connection wasn’t immediately apparent during filming – Högvik had a partner at the time – the pair began communicating more frequently after the show concluded. As Johansson told TV4 in May 2024, he had his eye on Amanda on the island pretty early on, but respected her existing relationship. The timing ultimately aligned, and the two officially became a couple shortly thereafter.

Their journey from reality TV contestants to a committed relationship and now, expectant parents, has been relatively swift. Following Robinson, the couple navigated a long-distance period, with Johansson relocating to Barcelona for work. They maintained their connection through frequent visits, with Högvik traveling to meet him in Europe. Eventually, they decided to build a life together, choosing the Swedish island of Gotland as their base.

The decision to settle in Mästerby wasn’t without its challenges. According to a report in Helagotland, the couple found themselves the subject of local curiosity once they purchased the property, a former cheese factory. Everyone seems to know which house we bought, which feels very safe and cozy, Högvik remarked.

The couple’s new home is a significant renovation project. Högvik acknowledged the work involved, noting that the renovation process has been somewhat slowed by her initial pregnancy fatigue, requiring Johansson to take on a larger share of the labor. Despite the work, they are embracing the process, viewing it as an opportunity to create a home and a future for their growing family. It’s a life project so we’re not in a hurry! Högvik shared. We enjoy every step and it will be even more fun now that we’re building someone’s childhood home. It feels amazing.

The announcement comes as the couple settles into their new life on Gotland. They’ve been sharing glimpses of their renovation journey on social media, including a TikTok video showcasing their move into the property, as documented by TikTok user @aqua_mandy (Amanda Högvik’s account). The video, posted in October 2025, offered a peek into the early stages of their new chapter.

While details regarding the expected due date have not been released, the couple expressed their gratitude and excitement for the future. It feels incredible, and we are very grateful to become parents, Högvik stated. The news has been met with an outpouring of support from fans and well-wishers, a sentiment Högvik acknowledged on TikTok, expressing her appreciation for the congratulations and good wishes.

For Johansson and Högvik, this next chapter represents a significant milestone, building upon a relationship forged in the competitive environment of Robinson and nurtured through shared dreams of a quieter life away from the city. Their story is a testament to the unexpected connections that can emerge from reality television, and the enduring power of finding love in the most unlikely of places.
