As reported by TalkSport, the pair met at a Dolce & Gabbana event in Italy in July since they are both ambassadors of the luxury brand.

Despite her powerful celebrity status, 43-year-old Kardashian could not help but marvel at Haaland, who she claims is admired by her son, Saint.

Kim K told publication, GQ:

"I was in Italy and I see Erling Haaland and I freaked out because I know my son would be so excited. It's like his thing."

The socialite and businesswoman also admitted she FaceTimed Saint after the interaction with Haaland, just to let him know.

"I'm FaceTiming him and I'm like 'I've turned into this person, I've turned into this person and I'm... sorry."

Explicit language warning:

Haaland's 2023/24 season so far

Haaland is rapidly establishing himself as one of the best football players on the planet thanks to his prowess in front of goal.

According to Transfermarkt, the 23-year-old Norwegian already has 231 senior goals for club and country, including the 20 he has netted in the 2023/24 season.

Because of his undeniable talent, Haaland’s name is seeping into other industries that are not necessarily related to football.

Meanwhile, Kardashian has grown a sudden interest in football recently.

Earlier this year, the sultry star was spotted at the Emirates Stadium to watch Arsenal take on Sporting Lisbon in the Europa League. Her son, Saint is a huge fan of Arsenal winger, Saka.

In March 2023, Sports Brief reported on how Saka was taunted by Arsenal players after the winger’s interaction with Saint West.

This came at the back of the Gunners’ exit from the Europa League as Sporting Lisbon advanced to the last eight of the competition.

In the wake of the defeat, Saka called Saint on FaceTime and the interaction was captured on video by his mom, Kardashian.
