Bill Skarsgård, the Swedish actor who terrified audiences as Pennywise the Dancing Clown, is once again making waves with the HBO prequel series It: Welcome to Derry. The show, which premiered on October 26, 2025, takes viewers back to 1960s America and explores real-world horrors like racism, police brutality, and white supremacy — all wrapped in the chilling world of Stephen King’s It.

While fans are captivated by Bill’s haunting performance, many are equally curious about his real-life story. Despite being part of one of Sweden’s most famous acting families, Bill prefers to keep his personal life low-key. However, here’s everything known about the actor’s love life, relationship status, and family.
The It star may play a terrifying clown onscreen, but off-screen, Bill Skarsgård leads a rather grounded life. According to Daily Express, the 35-year-old actor is not married but has been in a long-term relationship with Swedish actress Alida Morberg. The couple has kept their romance private, though Bill occasionally shares glimpses of life as a proud father of two.

Just like Bill, Alida Morberg hails from Sweden and comes from a family deeply rooted in entertainment. Born on January 30, 1985, in Lilla Edet, Sweden, Alida has built an impressive career in both film and television.

Her work includes the 2020 Swedish TV series and the 2022 Irish thriller, North Sea Connection. She also appeared in Netflix’s Clark, alongside Bill, who portrayed Swedish criminal Clark Olofsson — the man behind the term Stockholm Syndrome.
Alida’s father, Per Morberg, is a renowned actor and celebrity chef known for the hit TV series Beck. She is one of five sisters, many of whom are also in creative fields.
Similarly, Bill’s family is a household name in Hollywood — his father Stellan Skarsgård is a Golden Globe-winning actor, and his brothers Alexander and Gustaf are both established stars.
Bill and Alida reportedly began dating in the mid-2010s and made their relationship public in 2016. The couple appeared together at the premiere of The Divergent Series: Allegiant, where Bill played the role of Matthew. Around the same time, Alida shared a photo on Instagram from an Easter gathering in Los Angeles’ Echo Park, showing the couple enjoying time with friends.
Since then, they have been together for nearly nine years, maintaining a balance between fame and privacy.

In addition to his successful career, Bill is also a devoted father of two children with Alida. The couple welcomed their first daughter in 2018, and Bill later revealed that he would often FaceTime his family from the It film set — still dressed as Pennywise.
In 2022, Alida announced her second pregnancy, and Bill confirmed in 2023 that they had welcomed their second child.
Despite their private lifestyle, Alida has been Bill’s biggest cheerleader. She has accompanied him to several movie premieres, including It: Chapter Two in 2019, and often promotes his projects on social media. In 2022, she encouraged her followers to watch Soul of a Man, a film directed by Bill featuring his father, Stellan, and brother, Gustaf.
