Now Björn Ulvaeus introduces the new woman at his side.
“After many wonderful and eventful years, we have decided to go our separate ways” – with these words Björn Ulvaeus and his wife Lena Källersjö announced in February that their marriage had broken up after more than 40 years. A few months later, the Abba star caused speculation when he was asked in an interview with “Sveriges Radio” if he was ready for a new relationship. His answer: “It’s not impossible. There are many special people in my life.”
And indeed: Björn Ulvaeus is taken again – and is now officially making his new love. The 77-year-old came to Stockholm with a woman on Tuesday evening for the premiere of the musical “Pippi in the Circus”, which he produced. The two walked the red carpet hand in hand and posed beaming for the photographers.
The musician no longer wants to hide his new happiness. “This is my partner Christina. We’ve been together for a while and I felt like I wanted to take her to this event. So this is the first time we’ve been dating,” Björn Ulvaeus told Swedish entertainment medium Hänt. .
Did the comeback spark?
According to the report, Christina Sas is a product manager at Universal Music Group – the record company through which Abba released her new album Voyage last fall. When it sparked between the two, the 77-year-old kept it to himself. “We’ve only been together for a short time,” he emphasized.
Björn Ulvaeus is one of the four members of the legendary Swedish pop group, which celebrated their comeback last year after a break of around 40 years. At the peak of the Abba period in the 1970s, the musician was married to his bandmate Agnetha Faltskog for several years. Shortly after the breakup, he met Lena Källersjö, whom he married in 1981. The two have two daughters together.
