In a recent court case involving Marius Borg Høiby, a claim emerged indicating that he reportedly has a child. This assertion arose during a testimony from a friend of the alleged victim, who stated that Marius had told her about the child and even showed her a picture. This revelation has surprised many, with reports suggesting that the Norwegian newspaper VG intends to publish this unverified information, despite the absence of confirmation for the claim.

Norwegian media, particularly VG, noted that this is the first instance of such a claim becoming public knowledge, as there has been no prior documentation or evidence supporting the existence of a child. Marius reportedly denied having children during a previous interview in 2024, but the allegations have sparked interest in whether he can be held financially responsible for a child if the claim is validated. The issue of child support tends to surface in court proceedings, adding a layer of complexity to Marius’s ongoing legal issues.

The implications of Marius having a child could be far-reaching, especially considering the implications for Crown Princess Mette-Marit, potentially linking her to another heir. VG also mentioned that any child would possess certain rights, particularly as part of an extended royal family, which could lead to discussions surrounding the child’s status and inheritance rights. The ongoing developments in this case may attract significant public interest and scrutiny, especially given Marius's connections to the Norwegian royal family.
