Former Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin was recently seen enjoying a lively night out in Helsinki. Her Saturday night was filled with celebrations following the launch of her new book, “Toivo on tekoja,” which translates to “Hope Is Action.”
Sanna Marin Celebrates Book Launch
On November 9, 2023, Marin attended two significant events to promote her new work. The day began with a speaking engagement at the “Charlie Goes To” event, tailored for women in business, held at the House of Dance in Helsinki. Later, she addressed an audience at the University of Helsinki.
Marin and her entourage concluded the evening at H2O2 nightclub, located in Helsinki’s Sörnäinen district. This establishment caters to sexual and gender minorities, operating until next spring and attracting members of the queer subculture.
Star-Studded Night at H2O2
Among those celebrating with Marin were her ex-husband Markus Räikkönen and well-known figures such as:
- Joni Willberg, known as Marin’s hairstylist and romantic partner
- Actress Minka Kuustonen
- TV Host Christoffer Strandberg
- Mayor of Tampere Ilmari Nurminen and partner Aapo Hettula
- Member of Parliament Nasima Razmyar
- Media personality Sauli Koskinen
- Presenter and journalist Ina Mikkola
Eyewitnesses reported that the group danced joyfully on the nightclub floor until the early hours.
Private Celebration After Events
Following the public events, Marin hosted a private book launch celebration at Restaurant Pacifico x Tenho on Helsinginkatu. Notable attendees included equestrian star Marko Björs, who described the gathering as “pleasant, warm-hearted, and relaxed.”
This celebratory evening comes after Marin’s split from Räikkönen in spring 2023. Their separation marked a significant change in Marin’s personal life, now navigating a new relationship with Willberg.
Despite their public appearances, Marin and Willberg have rarely commented on their relationship, maintaining a low profile. However, cameras captured a moment of affection between them during the Emma Gala in February 2024.
As Sanna Marin continues to engage with the public through her work and personal life, her recent night out at H2O2 highlights her ongoing connection with the community and the celebration of her literary endeavors.
