Singer and Young Royals actor Omar Rudberg turned 27 on 12 November, marking the milestone with an adorable Instagram carousel that included him in his birthday suit, leaving fans wondering: “Who took the photos?”
The carousel also featured shots of Rudberg gearing up to open for Zara Larsson at the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam that evening, giving followers a glimpse of both his birthday celebrations and his life on tour.
Fans noticed how happy the Swedish singer looked in the photos and speculated about who took them, with the only clue being a hand with a tattoo and bracelet.

“Celebrated my birthday doing what I love. Thank you Amsterdam and thank u all so much for the love and birthday wishes,” he wrote in the caption. “I’ll remember this forever!”
Pictured waking up to breakfast in bed, which put a huge grin on his face, fans could not help but notice the “soft launch”.
One user took to X: “Photographed by who? And he’s this happy? Man I love love.”
Another wrote: “The soft launch on a random Thursday morning.”
In another photo, the speculated boyfriend holds a phone up to a shirtless Rudberg in bed while he’s on FaceTime with his mother, blowing out candles to mark his 27th birthday.
Fans are left wondering, who is Rudberg dating?
Rudberg tagged the photographer, though viewers are not sure whether the credit refers to the professional images taken before he went on stage at Larsson’s concert or the shirtless birthday bedroom snaps.
He tagged Benedetto Rebecca, a 24-year-old New York–based photographer and interior designer.
Despite this, there has been fan speculation about him dating his Young Royals co-star Edvin Ryding, driven by their close friendship and public appearances together. One fan wrote on X: “The way I thought it was photographed by Edvin I was screaming.”
