Princess Märtha Louise of Norway was forced to deny rumours that she and her husband, Shaman Durek Verrett, are expecting.
Earlier this week, photos of the couple - who married in 2025 in nuptials exclusively covered by HELLO! - were the subject of AI photos, manipulated to make it appear as though Princess Märtha Louise is pregnant.
In one of the false images, Princess Märtha Louise appeared to be showing off a baby bump, while a second showed the husband and wife duo smiling at the camera while holding a baby scan.
Addressing the images, Märtha Louise's longstanding manager and spokesperson, Carina Scheele Carlsen, said in an email to Norwegian broadcaster TV 2.
"We are aware that false claims and manipulated images of Princess Märtha Louise are being spread on social media, and this is something we take seriously and are following up on."
According to the broadcaster, the fake posts surfaced on newly created Facebook pages with names like "Aktuelt Nå" and "Aktuelt Puls," published in both Norwegian and German. Some have since been taken down, and Meta, Facebook’s parent company, has said it’s looking into the matter.
