Court Orders Golf Icon to Pay Ex-Husband 3.5 Million Kronor
Key Points
  • Former hockey player Kent Nilsson will receive 3.5 million Swedish kronor from his former wife, golf icon Helen Alfredsson, following a property dispute.
  • The dispute centered on a seaside villa in Onsala that Alfredsson bought during their cohabitation, with Nilsson entitled to half its value.
  • Alfredsson claimed they had a cohabitation agreement making the villa hers, but she could not produce a signed copy, while Nilsson denied signing any agreement.

Helen Alfredsson and Kent Nilsson married in 2005 at the Hard Rock Café in Stockholm, but their marriage ended after eleven years. They later resumed living together as cohabitants, during which time Alfredsson bought a large seaside villa in Onsala. The couple separated for good in 2023, with the villa at the center of the dispute, as a division of property decision had entitled Nilsson to half of the property, valued at around 20 million Swedish kronor.

Alfredsson filed a lawsuit arguing this decision was incorrect because they had signed a cohabitation agreement stating the villa was hers, but she has not been able to produce a signed copy. According to Sportbladet, Helen Alfredsson described signing a cohabitation agreement in 2020 at their home office in Onsala, claiming Nilsson stole her copy, while Kent Nilsson says he never signed any such agreement. The court's specific evidence and the whereabouts of the alleged agreement, if it exists, remain unclear, as do any plans for appeals.

He is a damn luxury bitch.

Kent Nilsson holds the Swedish record for points in an NHL season with 131, and Helen Alfredsson won a major golf tournament, the Kraft Nabisco Championship, in 1993.

It is too miserable to be true. Dirty. But I will not keep my mouth shut any longer. This is what happens when greed is at its greatest. It is hypocritical and criminal.

I swear on my mother's grave that we signed one in 2020. We were here in the office in the house in Onsala, he had a red Panthers t-shirt and first just looked at the paper. 'I don't want your children to get my money,' I said. 'No, of course,' he said and signed.

We each got a copy. I had mine in a folder together with a power of attorney and a will. But he must have stolen it.

It is a relief that it is over. Now we put this behind us and move on in life.
