Jennifer Coolidge hilariously discovers her ex is now a famous Swedish actor during the Minecraft promo tour and sends him a flirty video message!
Jennifer Coolidge is winning the internet once again — this time with a hilariously unexpected reunion. While promoting her new film Minecraft alongside Jason Momoa and Jack Black, The White Lotus star found out live during a Swedish interview that her former boyfriend, Rafael Edholm, is now a well-known actor in Sweden. Her reaction? Classic Jennifer Coolidge — funny, flirty, and completely unforgettable.
During a stop on her European press tour for Minecraft, Jennifer Coolidge shared a personal tidbit about her love life with a Swedish reporter, casually mentioning, “I dated a really handsome Swedish guy in my youth.” That handsome Swede turned out to be none other than Rafael Edholm, now a celebrated actor in his home country.
When informed of his fame, Jennifer Coolidge was visibly shocked and exclaimed, “He is? Why didn’t I stick with him? Oh my god, can you get a message to him?” Never one to miss a moment, she looked straight into the camera and delivered a hilarious message: “Rafael, I didn’t know you were going to be successful, but anyway, if you want to know where I live…” before jokingly offering her number to the interviewer.
Rafael Edholm didn’t leave her hanging. Shortly after the clip went viral, he posted a rugged video of himself jogging through the snow, responding directly to Jennifer Coolidge: “Hey, Jennifer, this is your famous Swedish ex. Where the hell are ya? Come and visit Sweden; it’s the most beautiful place in the world. See you soon!”
Naturally, fans are obsessed with this rom-com-worthy exchange. Comments flooded social media with support, laughs, and hope for a reunion. “I’m totally enthralled how this will play out,” wrote one Instagram user, while another gushed, “More of this… I’m loving this series!”
One TikToker even pointed out Edholm’s surprising past cameo in a music video, revealing: “Rafael Edholm is in George Michael’s “Freedom” music video. He’s the guy hanging upside down in the doorway.”
Despite her bombshell roles as Stifler’s Mom in American Pie and Tanya in The White Lotus, Jennifer Coolidge has never married — but says her dating life has been looking up since her Emmy-winning turn in the HBO series. “These men like you better because they feel that you went through something,” she told The Sunday Times earlier this year. “That show really upped my game!”
Whether this unexpected flirty exchange leads to something more, fans are here for it — and Jennifer Coolidge remains an icon of charm, chaos, and absolute comedic timing.
