After a successful 2021–2022 season, Bakken was unable to return to competition the following season due to a heart problem, pericarditis, that the Norwegian national team doctor determined was likely due to the coronavirus vaccine.[3] He announced his intent to hopefully return during the 2023–2024 season, having resumed training, but has yet to have competed.[4]
Bakken is in a relationship with fellow biathlete Juni Arnekleiv.
