Björn Ulvaeus has married his partner of two years, Christina Sas. Taking to Instagram on Saturday, the ABBA star gave fans a glimpse of their outdoor wedding in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Alongside a carousel of stunning photos, the caption read: “Today on the 21st of September 2024, Björn Ulvaeus married Christina Sas from Herning, Denmark. They met in Nürnberg in 2021 in connection with the release of ABBA’s last album Voyage and started dating in the spring of 2022. The wedding took place in Copenhagen in the presence of close friends and family.

In the snaps, Björn sported a grey tailored suit and a white T-shirt. Meanwhile, his beautiful bride Christina, 52, strayed from tradition, opting for a khaki green gown with ruching along the waist. She wore her blonde hair down in curls and carried a bouquet of cornflower blue and indigo flowers.

“In many ways, Agnetha and my divorce was an amicable one, we just grew apart and decided ‘let’s split up’,” Björn explained in an interview. Agnetha was later married to Tomas Sonnenfeldt from 1990 to 1993. She has continued to release her own music and resides on a farm on the island of Ekerö in Sweden.
Björn’s second marriage was to music journalist, Lena Kallersjö. The former couple said ‘I do’ two years after Björn had separated from Agnetha. They welcomed two daughters – Emma (born in 1982) and Anna (born in 1986).

“We remain close friends and will continue to celebrate our grandchildren’s birthdays and other family holidays together.”

On September 4, less than three weeks before their wedding, Christina joined Björn on the red carpet for the 5th anniversary gala of Mamma Mia! The Party. Held at the O2 in London, the couple held hands as they walked along the ocean-blue carpet.
