ABBA legend Björn Ulvaeus has tied the knot for the third time, marrying his partner Christina Sas on Saturday in a ceremony officiated by comedian and ex-“Great British Bake Off” host Sandi Toksvig.
“Today on the 21st of September 2024, Björn Ulvaeus married Christina Sas from Herning, Denmark,” a statement posted on the 79-year-old songwriter and guitarist’s Instagram page reads.
The pair met in the southern German city of Nuremberg in 2021 “in connection with the release of ABBA’s last album Voyage and started dating in the spring of 2022,” the statement continues. “The wedding took place in Copenhagen in the presence of close friends and family.”
A Look at the Band’s History
At its outset, ABBA, which dominated the US and European charts in the 1970s, consisted of two couples: Ulvaeus and vocalist Agnetha Fältskog, and songwriter and keyboard player Benny Andersson and vocalist Anni-Frid Lyngstad.
Ulvaeus married Fältskog in 1971 and Andersson and Lyngstad wed in 1978.
After winning the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest with the song “Waterloo,” and making global hits such as “Mamma Mia,” “Dancing Queen,” “SOS” and “Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight),” Ulvaeus and Fältskog divorced before the release of 1979 song “Voulez-Vous.”
Two years later, Andersson and Lyngstad were also divorced and the group disbanded in 1982.
Ulvaeus married Lena Kallersjö in 1981 but the pair divorced after 41 years of marriage in 2022, a year after ABBA reunited.
He has four children, two from each of his former marriages.
A Love Story
Ulvaeus has been married twice before, first to his fellow ABBA member Agnetha Fältskog in 1971. They had two children, Linda, 49, and Peter, 44, before divorcing in 1980.
He then married music journalist Lena Kallersjö in 1981. The couple were married for 41 years before announcing their separation in 2022. They have two daughters, Emma, 42, and Anna, 38.
Ulvaeus met Sas in Nuremberg, Germany, in 2021 in connection with the release of ABBA’s last album Voyage. They started dating in the spring of 2022.
A Celebration of Love
The wedding took place in Copenhagen, in the presence of close friends and family. The ceremony was attended by many notable figures, including Danish singers Anne Linnet and Kaya Brüel.
Ulvaeus’s wedding to Sas marks a new chapter in his life, and his fans are excited to see what the future holds for the couple.
It is not uncommon for couples who have been married before to find happiness in their later years. Ulvaeus’s marriage to Sas is a testament to the fact that love can blossom at any age and that it’s never too late to find happiness.
The couple’s wedding was a beautiful and intimate ceremony, and it is clear that they are very much in love. Ulvaeus’s fans are wishing the couple all the best in their future together.
