Chess King Magnus Carlsen marries girlfriend Ella Victoria

Norway: Five-time world chess champion Magnus Carlsen tied the knot with his girlfriend, Ella Victoria Malone, in a beautiful ceremony at the Holmenkollen Chapel in Oslo. Despite the freezing temperatures of -7 degrees, the couple braved the cold to exchange their vows on Saturday,January 4.

After the ceremony, the newlyweds hosted a reception at a luxurious five-star hotel in the city, celebrating with friends and family. Local media reported the presence of a Netflix crew at the event, but it remains unclear whether they were filming for a project or simply attending the wedding.

Magnus and Ella were first seen together publicly in February last year during the Freestyle Chess G.O.A.T. Challenge in Germany. Recently Carlsen has also been in the spotlight recently due to a jeans controversy. He was disqualified from the World Rapid Chess Championship for wearing jeans, which was against the event's dress code. After the decision, FIDE, the chess governing body, allowed players to wear jeans for the World Blitz Chess Championship, where Carlsen participated.

The couple's wedding marks a joyous occasion for Carlsen, who continues to dominate the world of chess.
