Personal life. Nordström is a dual citizen of Denmark and Sweden – her father, Peter Nordström, is Swedish and her mother, Birgitte Mohrsen Nordström (), is Danish. Her mother’s side of the family, the Andersens, have earned the moniker "Denmark’s hockey factory" due to the number of elite players it has produced. No exception is Nordström’s mother, who was a goaltender with the Danish national ice hockey team during the  late 1990s and 2000s, and participated in five IIHF World Championships across the Pool B, Division I, and Division II levels. Her uncles Ernst Andersen and Kim Mohrs Andersen both represented at several Ice Hockey World Championship Pool B tournaments in the 1990s. In Nordström’s generation, her elder cousin Frederik Andersen, an active NHLer, and younger cousin Valdemar Andersen are also goaltenders. Bucking the goaltending trend are her younger brother Lukas and elder cousins Amalie Andersen and Sebastian Andersen, all of whom are defensemen, and cousin Karl Andersen, a left winger, who slots in as the only forward of  the bunch. Ice hockey genes aren’t limited to the Andersen side of her family, as her father played as a goaltender in Swedish and Danish high level leagues during the 1990s and 2000s and Melker Thelin, her younger cousin, is active as a goaltender in Swedish junior leagues.
