Björn Ulvaeus Opens Up on 28‑Year Age Gap Doubts
Oh joy, another septuagenarian unpacking his love life like it’s front‑page news—but here we are. Björn Ulvaeus, the 79‑year‑old ABBA legend, finally spilled the beans on why dating his 52‑year‑old wife, Christina Sas, felt like a midlife crisis wrapped in silk. According to The Times, what began as “love at first sight” in 2021—when Sas was helping roll out ABBA’s Voyage album—quickly morphed into a nagging inner debate: “Am I doing the right thing?” Björn admitted he “immediately had severe problems” with that 28‑year age gap. Groundbreaking, right? I told you so—you don’t need a PhD in obvious to predict overthinking.
Despite his reservations, the grumpy guru of pop handed over the reins: “It’s up to her—if she wants to live with someone older and we love each other…” Translation: If she can stomach grandpa jokes, we’re good. They’ve barely mentioned the age difference since tying the knot in Copenhagen last September—and apparently “rarely even talk about it.” My takeaway? When love’s real, you don’t need a calendar check every morning.
Need more drama? Ulvaeus, who divorced his second wife after 41 years in 2022, previously split from ABBA bandmate Agnetha Fältskog in 1980. He shares two adult kids with Agnetha and two more with ex‑journalist Lena Källersjö. Guess musical talent skips generations, but marital bliss… not so much.
Meanwhile, ABBA’s Voyage show—complete with AI avatars crooning “Dancing Queen”—is lighting up London through January. Björn’s now pondering the big ethical question: Should Voyage keep spinning after an original member passes? He compared it to Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap, which still sells tickets decades on. “When you’re gone, you’re gone,” he sighed, “but… my kids might appreciate it.” Because nothing says family values like a virtual encore after you’re six feet under.
So there you have it: love, tech, and existential crises all rolled into one retro comeback tour. Did you really need me to spell it out? Probably not—but that’s the Grumpy Guru charm. And that, dear reader, is why I stick to my day job.
