This really fits into three different threads, but as I have decided to focus on Durek, it's placed here:
https://www.tv2.no/a/11936599/
ML has recently given a TV interview about how the death of Ari Behn was handled within the family and her future plans in regards to her and Durek.
The death of Ari Behn was a big shock for the family! He was very much a hands on dad and there for his children. Funny to be around and a good friend.
So apart from ML herself being very much affected by his death and the circumstances she was very busy helping her children, individually and together in coping with their father's death. And when her children had begun to recover and find their footing again, it was ML who went into a black hole.
ML explain that they got help from family, friends, psychologists and also Durek.
"When we got the message, we all went into shock. We couldn't cope with anything. It was running from one child to the other. He was the only one who managed to be there - to be present. He was very much there for the children, during that period. Him being there was very important."
ML express her pride in her oldest daughter giving the poignant speech at Ari Behn's funeral only a week later - and also the public impact the speech had, not least in regards to others who have experienced a suicide close up or who have been contemplating suicide.
She is asked whether she and Durek will eventually live in the same country.
"I hope so. Initially he wanted to move to Norway, but then he came to Norway and that wasn't exactly uber-cosy."
Will she move to USA then?
"Yes, it might be that we end up there after all."
- I may have missed this being mentioned somewhere in this thread, but this is new to me:
https://www.tv2.no/underholdning/11773734/
Durek has asked King Harald and Queen Sonja for ML's hand in marriage.
After having asked into his career-possibilities they accepted.
That happened late last year, at an appropriate length of time after the death of Ari Behn.
Durek explains that he intended to propose on several occasions. In Hawaii, at Disneyland and at Lake Tahoe - but that the spirits had told ML about it and thus spoiled the surprise.
All that according to an interview in Vanity Fair:

----------------
So a marriage seems almost inevitable and I predict it will take place as soon as it is possible to arrange a big scale marriage after opening up from Corona.
Or alternatively the two of them will go through a small scale, intimate shamanistic wedding ceremony - of course well covered with cameras to be released after the announcement of their wedding.
As for Durek being there for the family and the children after Ari Behn's death. Well, I would certainly expect so, if Durek has any serious intentions regarding his and ML's relationship. If you love someone you are there for them. Period.
I hope he (also) genuinely does love ML and her children.
However, there is admittedly a little cynical voice in the back of my head pointing out that this was also a very good opportunity to really ingratiate himself into the family.
Interesting take on the reality shows.
