Eddie Hall and Thor Bjornsson's wives look ripped ahead of their husbands' epic fight

The wives of strongmen Eddie Hall and Thor Bjornsson look like they spend as much time in the gym as their partners.

"At the minute, he is trying to lose fat and maintain muscle, so he is eating around 7,000 calories per day. He usually eats six meals per day, and the focus is on carbs, protein and vegetables.

“Eddie doesn’t eat normal-sized meals, so I have to serve it to him on a platter because it’s too much food to fit on a plate.”

The couple have a son, Maximus, and multi-tasker Alex also opened her own barbershop four years ago.

Thor's wife Kelsey, 32, hails from Canada and was working as a working as a waitress when she met the Game of Thrones star.

At 5 ft nine inches tall, she's a whole foot shorter than her giant husband.

After the couple got together, Kelsey to ditch the day job and get into bodybuilding herself.

The pair married a year after meeting, with Kelsey taking to Instagram to pay tribute to her hubby.

"I’m so excited to see what the future holds for us! Time truly does fly when your [sic] having fun!"

The couple welcomed a son in 2020 named Stormur before opening ‘Power Gym’ together in Iceland, where the Canadian now works full-time.
