Our mom, Lacia, is Canadian and raised in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario. Just south of Toronto. Our dad is Swedish and grew up in Älmhult, located in the southern parts of Sweden.

Our parents met in Toronto where they both worked for IKEA. (Pontus: - I guess I'm lucky not to be named BILLY.) In late November 2003 they moved to Moscow to work for IKEA Russia. They got married October 20th 2004 in Stockholm, Sweden.
