Nygård’s parents relocated to Deloraine, Manitoba, Canada when he was about eleven years old. Nygård graduated from the University of North Dakota with a business degree in 1964.
According to the CBC, the 79-year-old fashion mogul was arrested in Winnipeg, Canada, on December 14 and is facing extradition to the United States on charges of racketeering and sex trafficking.

A Forbes profile of Nygård states that the fashion executive briefly married a model in the 1970s. However, Nygård has never disclosed the identity of his ex-wife or whether his children were biologically mothered by her.
