ABBA legend Björn Ulvaeus has married for a third time at the age of 79 with former Bake Off star Sandi Toksvig officiating the wedding.
Ulvaeus and his partner Christina Sas wed on Saturday in a ceremony officiated by comedian and ex-Great British Bake Off host Toksvig.
“Today on the 21st of September 2024, Björn Ulvaeus married Christina Sas from Herning, Denmark,” a statement posted on the composer and guitarist’s Instagram page read.
The pair met in the southern German city of Nuremberg in 2021 in connection with the release of ABBA’s last album Voyage and started dating in the spring of 2022.
The statement continued: “The wedding took place in Copenhagen in the presence of close friends and family.”
Toksvig was captured in a wedding photo shared on Instagram wearing a red robe with gold designs and holding papers in her hand and with the happy couple in the background.
ABBA dominated the US and European charts in the 1970s.

The group consisted of two couples – Ulvaeus and his first wife, vocalist Agnetha Fältskog, and songwriter and keyboard player Benny Andersson and his wife, vocalist Anni-Frid Lyngstad.
After winning the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest with the song Waterloo, they enjoyed global hits such as Mamma Mia, Dancing Queen, SOS and Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight).
Ulvaeus had married Fältskog in 1971.
They divorced before the release of 1979 song Voulez-Vous.
Andersson and Lyngstad wed in 1978 and divorced in 1981.
They managed to keep things professional amid their relationship troubles, but they went their separate ways in December 1982 after eight albums and almost 20 number-one singles.
Ulvaeus married his second wife, Lena Kallersio, in 1981 but the pair divorced after 41 years of marriage in 2022, a year after ABBA reunited.
He has four children, two from each of his former marriages.
Abba briefly reunited to launch the ABBA Voyage concert in London in 2022, an immersive experience with ‘Abbatars’, or augmented reality avatars of the band, performing their greatest hits on stage.
