Fredrik Eklund Shares an Emotional Update on His Family After a "Strange Month"
The MDLNY agent revealed the highs and lows of his whirlwind month as his husband, Derek Kaplan, showed his support and love.
Fredrik Eklund is relying on his husband, Derek Kaplan, and their adorable twins, Milla and Freddy, after a whirlwind month. Although things got a little complicated for the Million Dollar Listing New York real estate agent at the top of the year, Fredrik has now emerged on the other side of it all, thanks to his support system. Fredrik took to Instagram on Sunday, Feb. 2, where he posted a series of photos and declared that "January was a strange month."
In the caption of the post, he revealed that he first had to come to the aid of his family. "My mom wasn't feeling so well in Sweden, and if you know me you know she is my angel...so naturally I went to take care of her," he wrote. "But the same week my brother's house burnt down in Pacific Palisades and his family lost EVERYTHING. He is my other angel, and I've been so worried. But I had to be strong for them. Life is not forever, and January came as a slap to wake me up to that. I've been moody, I've had anxiety, I've been sad, but I've pushed through and did my best."

However, Fredrik noted that his two kids were a bright spot in all of this strife. In the photo carousel posted to Instagram, Milla and Freddy can be seen sitting together in a chair, hanging out in front of a pool, while Fredrik also snapped a solo shot with Freddy. "The kids and Cashy our dog make things easier," he wrote in the caption of the post. "They are a light and so beautifully clueless about these things. But the month also had some positives, like all the travel we did as a family."
Milla and Freddy have been just as reliant on their dad. "Lastly, Milla and Freddy are doing so great in school and have so many friends, yet they still want to hang out with me somehow," he noted. "I'm so grateful for the little things."

In addition to traveling with his family, Fredrik has been busy traveling with his real estate team. In the same carousel, he posted photos of him at the airport, spending time with Derek, traveling to their Connecticut estate (covered in snow), transporting art in his car, and also hanging out with his real estate team while dressed in all white.
Fredrik then shared a notable career highlight from this month in the caption. "I took my entire 100-person team to Mexico to celebrate our success and give out awards to them," he wrote. "The team is like a second family, and we have such a great thing going, and I've been able to share some of these difficulties with them for support."
This post comes on the heels of Fredrik scoring a major real estate listing in Miami. The dad of two took to Instagram on Jan. 22, where he revealed that he had been tapped to list a $150 million compound comprising of three mansions located on the water in Palm Island.
Although things can be "strange" at times for the real estate agent, the highs are so high.
