Exactly. But if the rag can spin it as "she kicked her daughters out for her boyfriend, shock, horror", that sells more.

Norway has very few infections, so I think from that perspective, it's fine for the girls to stay with someone else. However, with the shaman coming from a country with many more infections, the shaman and ML risked that he might infect her. Unbelievable.

Also the idea of quarantining when arriving in Norway is not to quarantine with local people and risk infecting them with the virus. The idea of quarantine is generally to quarantine alone or with people who were exposed to the same things you were

Norwegian quarantine rules (https://www.thelocal.no/20200910/wha...u-break-them):

"In Norway, quarantine means that person is asked to stay home from school or work, not receive visitors, not use public transport and only visit shops or pharmacies if strictly necessary or not at all if it is not possible to maintain social distance. You are also allowed to go outside for a walk if you maintain a one-metre distance from others at all times.
Visitors to Norway must stay in places where they are able to quarantine in this way. As such, staying in a motorhome, caravan, tent or cabin on campsites without a private bathroom or toilet and kitchen is not acceptable if you have to share these facilities with people other than your close contacts or travel companions.
Similarly, you cannot stay at accommodation where you have to share rooms or facilities with others than those you usually live with, such as halls of residence and other homes with shared bathrooms or kitchens."

But yes, the optics of any hint of "partner over children" is bad.

I don't think she chose him over the children and they are framing it as badly as possible, yes, but I still don't think any of this was a good idea. For ML to risk infection was irresponsible, though what she did this time, keeping the children away was a bit better than back in March, when she realized Norway would close its borders soon and flew to California for the week-end, risking infection for all 4 of them and then having to quarantine with the girls.

Yes, more attention would probably have been caused by Verrett, especially if he had been bored by himself but maybe she should think about that - if he can't be trusted not to attract attention and post all the private details of their lives online... I think if he was more responsible or indeed a more thoughtful person, he would have offered to quarantine by himself.

If he had to quarantine and he was staying with them, I assume the assumption is that NOBODY can leave the house (otherwise, it wouldn't be a quarantine) - so, that would indeed mean that Maud, Leah and Emma would need to stay home instead of going to school for the quarantine period. I guess, ML was fine not leaving the house and catching the virus if he would end up being infected.

The shaman should have rented a place to quarantine by himself! It's also irresponsible of ML to quarantine with the shaman and risk infection

Is the shaman really still quarantined? It's been a while now...

why do you think its terrible? I call this a plain human reaction.
how many couples and families have been seperated because if Covid.
If somebody has the chance to come together I feel joy for them and am not jelous deep down my soul.
maybe even ML kept distance inside the house for the requested number if days but the two were able to speak.
the children are not toddlers but almost adult or teenagers who live to stay elsewhere.
like it or not she loves that man. the media uses it's power to make up weak people's minds, do yourself a favour and not rely too much on the headlines
it's a business.

Well, they don't have to be separated, the shaman can even move to Norway if he likes, but he should quarantine first and quarantining means staying by yourself. It seems childish that he can't isolate by himself for 10 days and ML potentially exposing herself to the virus is reckless, I stand by that.

Long distance relationships can be difficult and now especially so, but the situation is what it is and as it stands, you can either move to where the other person lives (I know people who have done that) or you will have to accept being separated as countries close borders & restrict entrance.

I don't rely solely on headlines, if you look at my post you can see that I wrote "if true." But it doesn't seem completely unlikely.

ML picked her lover over her children...she stayed with her lover as her children are staying elsewhere? Her children should come first, they are not his children, but hers. They will be gone in a few years out on their own, I would think she could wait a bit and be there for them now and for the next few years. He has too much influence over her. JMOO

Their relationship almost sounds controlling. The normal reaction would be to prioritise your children over your new partner, as most of new couples I know where one already has children do.

The Couple enjoy their time together in Norway:


"Being with the love of my life, a powerful wise woman who accepts all sides of me, makes it possible for me to be me with unconditional love and support. She sees me as I see her with pure acceptance in a relationship that is transparent and full of laughter, spiritual growth and deep soulful love. This transparent relationship allows me to show up, be present and hold space for her to shine without being insecure or afraid of being a powerful man who loves all manner of life on Earth. I love being here in Norway, since I'm part Norwegian, and love the people and nature here. I love family; Maud, Leah, Emma, our dog Xavanna and all our close friends here and especially my newly acquired family. Life is beautiful when you’re with the ones you love. I feel the best I have felt in a very long time. Thank you God.
Tribe, How do you feel with the ones you love? Tag them and let them know."

...he's part Norwegian?

Ha ha, was about to point that out too! But does he mean in this life or a previous one?

Yes, from his mother's side.

"His father, who had trained as a shaman but ran a construction business, was Afro-Creole and from New Orleans; and his mother, a psychic medium, is West Indian-Norwegian and from New York."
The Shaman of Instagram - The New York Times

[Prinsara]

Huh. Small world. (Okay, one factually-ascertainable thing he's said.) Maybe now he can work on winning the rest of the Norwegians over?

[Lady Daly]

Considering the Sham has a propensity for embellishing until we see actual genealogical records I question much of anything he says about his family's background. If ML were an Italian princess I can't help but think he would be saying he is part Italian. However...

Early on in the lovebirds' relationship Marlene Eilers Koenig addressed Sham's background on her Royal Musings blogpost. Royal Musings: Princess Martha Louise announces she is in love again

His mother is listed as Shiela Farmer living in New Mexico at the time of her marriage to David Verrett in Las Vegas in 1972. Given this from the history of names: "The name Farmer came to England with the ancestors of the Farmer family in the Norman Conquest in 1066." So, looking into the way wayback machine Sham descended from Vikings.

I guess that's enough for him to refer to himself as partly Norwegian...

Hope to soon wake up from this nightmare. Happy that she isn't the Crown Princess. She is the oldest one... But then he would never have been accepted as her partner.

[Nice Nofret]

Well, maybe had she been the crown princess, she wouldn't need all her angel-psychedelic-esoteric-stuff and be a hard working royal.

It appears through his mother, at least in name, a descendant of Vikings he may be.

For what it's worth, this website takes issue with many of the claims Durek Verrett has made about his family, including his alleged Norwegian ancestry:

That thread is quite cringe- and fear- inducing. Please, ML, wake up before it's too late...
