- Former Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin was seen partying at a Helsinki nightclub after a day of book promotion events.
- Her entourage included a surprising mix of Finnish celebrities, her ex-husband Markus Räikkönen, and her rumored partner Joni Willberg.
- The group celebrated at H2O2, a new nightclub in Helsinki specifically catering to the queer community.
- The event marked a rare recent public sighting of Marin and Willberg together.
Sanna Marin’s Unforgettable Night: Ex-Husband and New Flame Party Together
After a long day promoting her new book, “Toivo on tekoja” (Hope is in Deeds), former Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin unwound with a high-profile party in Helsinki’s vibrant nightlife scene this past weekend. Marin and a large group of friends took over the dance floor at the H2O2 nightclub in the Sörnäinen district, celebrating into the early hours of Sunday morning.
A Star-Studded Celebration
The mood was described as cheerful and relaxed, with Marin and her friends enjoying themselves freely on the dance floor. The guest list was a who’s who of Finnish media and culture, including actress Minka Kuustonen, host Christoffer Strandberg, Tampere’s mayor Ilmari Nurminen with his fiancé Aapo Hettula, MP Nasima Razmyar, media personality Sauli Koskinen, and journalist Ina Mikkola.
An Unconventional Reunion Creates a Stir
What made the evening particularly noteworthy, creating a striking sight for onlookers, was the presence of two key figures from Marin’s personal life: her ex-husband, Markus Räikkönen, and her rumored partner, Joni Willberg. The sight of both men in the same celebratory group has sparked considerable public interest.
Marin and Räikkönen announced their divorce in the spring of 2023. Meanwhile, her relationship with Willberg has been kept largely private, with the two seldom seen together in public recently. This night out marks a departure from that trend, following a public display of affection captured by cameras at the Emma-gaala in February 2024.
From Book Tour to Dance Floor
The night of partying followed a demanding schedule for Marin. She had spent the day at two separate events for her book, first speaking at the “Charlie goes to” business event for women, followed by a talk at the University of Helsinki. Before heading to the nightclub, Marin hosted a private book launch party at the Helsinki restaurant Pacifico x Tenho, described by an attendee as a “nice, warm-hearted, and relaxed” affair.
The Venue and The Aftermath
The chosen venue for the after-party, H2O2, is a new club that describes itself on its Instagram page as a space for the queer community and subcultures. When contacted for a comment about the high-profile evening, party guest Sauli Koskinen declined to speak on the matter, and other members of the group could not be reached.
