Virginia Macari has revealed her relationship with her fiancee hasn’t been hurt by his arrest over fraud charges.
And the Dublin Wives star says she has been assured Kas Dahl won’t be going to prison in Oslo over the €4 million bank fraud.
“I know he 100% won’t be going to prison. He was charged with giving the wrong info to the bank,” she said.
“It is up to the judge to decide in the end and as far as we know so far, he won’t be going to prison.”

And the 39-year-old socialite says things are still “good” with Kas, 43, after his fraud charge.
“We are good together. The best relationships are the best not because they have been the perfect ones — they are that way because they have stayed strong through the storms,” she added.
“I’m not going to cling to a negative image from the past. Long-term relationships, the ones that matter, are all about weathering the peaks and the valleys.”
But Virginia told the Sunday Independent that she knows Kas has “made mistakes” and has “regrets” – admitting she knew about his past.

She said: “He’s made mistakes. He has regrets. I know he has a past and I certainly do not condone criminal activity.
“When I met him, he told me he had skeletons in his closet, but I had already made my choice.
“I didn’t fall in love with him because of his past. I fell in love with him because of the future.”
And Virginia, who says it “was the lowest point of my life” when he was arrested, didn’t find it easy to handle when the news hit the papers.
“I was frightened that my family wouldn’t take it well, but they were a tower of strength. They know how amazing Kas is,” she said.

“They know what a caring father and intelligent man he is. When they told us that they would always be there for us, it felt good, but it still hurt me reading what the papers wrote.
“We didn’t expect the papers to exaggerate and twist the story and add to it like they did. I suppose they wanted to glamourise their article to make it more shocking.
“The way they associated him with one of Norway’s biggest criminals whom had committed a large bank robbery was hurtful and damaging. You know, Kas is also friends with the royal family. Does that make him a king?”
