Erling Haaland was thrown into one of the most emotionally confusing nights of his life when his sister, Gabrielle “Gabby” Haaland, called him at exactly 1 a.m., her voice trembling and barely recognizable, to deliver news he never expected to hear at such an hour. The Manchester City superstar, known for his calm presence and almost machine-like composure on the pitch, suddenly found himself frozen, unable to speak, as Gabby struggled to explain what had happened to their mother, Gry Marita Braut. What shocked him most was not just the news itself, but the way Gabby sounded—panicked, breathless, and clearly crying—as if she had been holding the secret alone for hours before gathering enough courage to tell him. People close to the family say Haaland has not reacted this intensely to anything in years, not even during his worst injuries or most difficult professional moments.
According to someone familiar with the call, Gabby had discovered something earlier in the evening that left her unable to function normally. She reportedly tried calling their father first but received no answer, which only worsened her fear. By the time she reached Erling, her words were shaking too much to form a full sentence. All she could manage was, “Erling… it’s Mom… something happened… you need to come home now.” Those vague, fragmented words sent Haaland into an immediate panic. He kept asking what happened, but Gabby couldn’t bring herself to say the full truth over the phone. Witnesses say he grabbed his jacket, keys, and wallet in a blur and rushed out of his apartment without even locking the door behind him, driven by instinct, fear, and sheer adrenaline.
What makes this situation even more mysterious is that Haaland’s mother had been completely fine earlier that day. She had spoken casually with friends, even planned a routine workout for the following morning. No signs of illness, no recent injuries, nothing out of the ordinary. For something to happen so suddenly in the middle of the night only intensifies the confusion surrounding the situation. Sources familiar with the family suggest that Gabby stumbled upon something in their mother’s home that left her shocked to the point she couldn’t think straight. Some claim she found her mother unresponsive. Others whisper that Gabby discovered something she wasn’t supposed to see, something that raises more questions than answers. Whatever the truth is, the emotional tone of her call makes it clear the situation is far from simple.
When Haaland arrived, he reportedly refused to let anyone near him for several minutes, insisting on seeing everything with his own eyes before believing anything. Those around him say he was pale, silent, and visibly shaken—a side of him the public never sees. The usually composed athlete appeared almost lost, pacing around the house, asking Gabby to repeat what she had seen, hoping each time she would say something different. But she simply cried harder, unable to offer any explanation that could calm him. Some insiders say this is the first time in years the siblings have faced something this serious without their father present, which only added another layer of uncertainty to the situation.
Meanwhile, fans have begun speculating wildly online. Why did Gabby call at exactly 1 a.m.? What did she see that left her unable to speak clearly? Why did their mother suddenly become unreachable despite being perfectly fine just hours earlier? And most importantly, what condition is she actually in now? As of this moment, no official statement has been released by Haaland, his family, or his club. Manchester City representatives are reportedly monitoring the situation closely but have refused to comment until more details emerge.
What is certain, however, is that something has shaken Haaland to his core—something deeply personal, urgent, and possibly life-altering. People close to him say this is the most distressed they’ve ever seen him. The silence from the family only adds fuel to the speculation, leaving fans and media around the world waiting anxiously for clarity. All anyone knows for now is that a midnight call from Gabby changed everything, and whatever happened to Haaland’s mother is serious enough to leave even one of the world’s strongest athletes grasping for answers in the dark.
