Björn Ulvaeus is one of the four members of the Swedish pop group ABBA, who this year celebrated 50 years since they won the Eurovision Song Contest with the song “Waterloo”.
The group originally consisted of two couples: Björn Ulvaeus and Agnetha Fältskog, and Benny Andersson and Anni-Frid Lyngstad. Fältskog and Ulvaeus, who married in 1971, divorced in 1980, while Andersson and Lyngstad divorced in 1981, a year before the band broke up.
The quartet did not reunite to perform at Eurovision this year, despite the event being held in Sweden, after Loreen won the contest in 2023 with her hit single Tattoo.
Björn Ulvaeus was also previously married to Lena Kallersjö, now in his third marriage.
