==Personal life== During the [[2008 Summer Olympics]], [[Brazil]]ian footballer [[Ronaldinho]] surprised Almgren by asking her to marry him, just a few hours after seeing her for the first time. She rejected the proposal outright. Almgren thought that her friend was joking with her when she got a phone call from a translator saying Ronaldinho wanted her to go to his room. After realizing it wasn't a joke she and a few friends went up. Then he asked her to marry him.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.thelocal.se/20080825/13918 | title=Swedish footballer rejects Ronaldinho proposal | date=25 August 2008 }}</ref>
