The chess champion who made headlines with denim is getting married.

The new world chess champion, Magnus Carlsen, is happily getting married to his beloved Ella Victoria Malone. This news was confirmed by Magnus's friend, Magnus Barstad. The ceremony will take place on the first weekend of 2025, but details regarding the location and event remain confidential. It should be noted that Malone is eight years younger than Carlsen.

According to the media, Malone nearly saved Carlsen in the case regarding the dress code at the chess championship in New York. She collaborated with his clothing company, which became embroiled in a notorious scandal.

Magnus Carlsen is 34 years old and has successfully defended his world champion title four times. He is a five-time world champion in rapid chess, a seven-time world champion in blitz, and the holder of the FIDE World Cup. He has also held the highest rating in the world for ten years. Even after renouncing the champion title, Carlsen does not lose his achievements and remains an unparalleled chess grandmaster.
