How many kids do Will Ferrell and Viveca Paulin have?

Together, Will Ferrell and Viveca Paulin have three children: Magnus (born in 2004), Mattias (born in 2007), and Axel (born in 2010). They tied the knot in 2000 following a humorous proposal, as Ferrell recounted years later.

During an interview, the host shared with People, “What began as a serious moment turned into something comical. I brought her to a beach where we’d gone on one of our earliest dates. She wasn’t interested at all. She said, ‘This beach feels eerie at night.’ I responded, ‘Just hush up, this is meant to be incredibly romantic.’

In the midst of the chat, Ferrell’s proposal idea got lost before he could express it. He explained, “I was trying to formulate my words, and instead it came out as, ‘Well, umm, I really admire you and, umm, by the way…’. Then, I believe I knelt – though I’m not completely sure – and made my proposal. So it turned out to be amusing, though unintentionally.
