Game of Thrones star Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson and wife get matching tattoos honoring deceased daughter
Last November, actor and Icelandic strongman Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson announced that he and his wife Kelsey Henson had lost their newly born baby daughter. “It is with great sorrow that we announce the birth of our daughter, Grace Morgan Hafthorsdottir born Nov 8th at 21 1/2 weeks gestation,” Björnsson wrote on Instagram. “After a noticeable decrease in movement we found out her heart had stopped beating. Words cannot describe our pain of this loss or our happiness at being able to spend time with our daughter."
Obviously this was a trying time for the family. Now, Björnsson has revealed on Instagram that he and Henson have gotten matching tattoos honoring their baby daughter, consisting of a pair of tiny footprints with the name "Grace" next to them. "Baby girl walking with us through this life," they captioned the photo.
Hopefully this helps Björnsson, Henson and their family get through this period. Björnsson and Henson also have a 3-year-old son, and Björnsson has a daughter with ex-girlfriend Thelma Björk Steimann, according to PEOPLE. We wish them the best.
