BJORN AGAIN ABBA’s Bjorn, 79, marries for third time and has Bake Off star officiating
ABBA star Bjorn Ulvaeus has married for a third time at the age of 79.
The Swedish superstar tied the knot with his stunning partner of two years, 51-year-old Christina Sas.
Bjorn and Christina held the ceremony in her native Denmark in the capital city of Copenhagen surrounded by their family and friends.
Christina ditched the usual wedding tradition of white and instead opted for a glamorous khaki green gown as she clutched onto a stunning bouquet of blue and white flowers.
Bjorn revealed on Instagram that he had wed once again as he shared snaps from the big day.
The musician wrote: “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 a surprising move, TV presenter and The Great British Bake Off star Sandi Toksvig officiated the ceremony after becoming friends with Bjorn during their time working on Mamma Mia: The Party in 2018.
Sandi was seen beaming as she completed her duties for the big day whilst donning red clergy robes.
Bjorn met Christina when she was working for Universal Music Group, Abba’s record label, during a meeting in Germany in 2021 ahead of the launch of Abba Voyage.
In February 2022, Bjorn confirmed that his 41-year marriage to acclaimed music journalist Lena Kallersjo, 75 was over.

The pair, who have daughters Emma, 42, and Anna, 38, shared a joint statement at the time to confirm the separation as well as reveal they would be sharing their joint £100 million fortune.
Four months later, Bjorn and Christina went public with Bjorn revealing they had been dating for “a while”.
Speaking during their first public apparance as a couple, he said: “We have dated for a while and I felt like I wanted to take her to this event.
“So this is the first time we go out together.”
Bjorn’s first wife was his ABBA bandmate Agnetha Faltskog.
They were married for eight years between 1971 and 1979.
The pair are parents to Linda, 49, and Peter, 44, and whilst at the time they described their break-up as a “happy divorce“, Agnetha went on to admit that she was left needing counselling in the aftermath of the split.
Within a week of their split, Bjorn moved on with Lena ahead of her becoming his second wife.
