Mads Mikkelsen Children
Mads and Hanne are proud parents. In 1992, the couple had their first child, a daughter named Viola Jacobsen Mikkelsen, before getting married in 2000.
Hanne took to Instagram in December 2022 to share a heartfelt post celebrating her firstborn’s 30th birthday. The caption says, “It’s been 30 years today.” Congratulations to the most beautiful girl in the entire Universe!
In 1997, Mads and Hanne welcomed their son, Carl Jacobsen Mikkelsen, into the family, five years after Viola was born. Just like Hanne always does, she isn’t afraid to share her love for her second child on social media.
On July 29, 2022, Mads’s wife took to Instagram to share a heartfelt message dedicated to her son on his 25th birthday. She wrote (translated from Danish to English), “To my beloved Carl, you are the most beautiful person in my life…” Today marks 25 years.
Carl, just like his mother, loves to share updates about his life on social media. Mads’s son has a really exciting life, from scuba-diving with stingrays to barbecuing in the backyard to traveling the world.
In terms of work, it appears that Carl is a member of the Royal Life Guards, which is a mechanized infantry regiment of the Danish Army.
