Björn Ulvaeus Opens Up with Warm Words for Agnetha Fältskog: “She’ll Always Be Special to Me”
In a rare and heartfelt moment, Björn Ulvaeus, co-founder of ABBA and one of the most influential songwriters of the 20th century, has recently spoken with warmth and affection about his former wife and bandmate, Agnetha Fältskog — reminding fans that while relationships may end, respect and admiration can endure.
💬 “Agnetha has one of the most emotionally powerful voices I’ve ever heard,” Björn shared in a recent interview. “There’s something in the way she interprets a lyric that no one else can replicate. She doesn’t just sing a song — she lives it.”
The two shared a decade-long marriage and built a musical legacy that continues to resonate with millions worldwide. Though their divorce in 1980 was public and painful, Björn has always been careful not to let bitterness cloud the contributions Agnetha made — both to ABBA and to his life.
💬 “We had our struggles, of course. But I look back with gratitude,” he added. “We raised two wonderful children together, and we created something musically that none of us could have done alone. Agnetha brought a sensitivity and a light to our songs that were truly unique.”
While the world often focuses on the drama surrounding ABBA’s breakups, Björn has consistently taken the high road when it comes to Agnetha. He’s described her as “brilliant,” “deeply intuitive,” and “incredibly private” — qualities he says gave ABBA’s music its soul.
Their professional collaboration may have faded for a time, but their recent reunion for 2021’s Voyage album showed that mutual admiration still runs deep.
“She’ll always be special to me,” Björn concluded, with a gentle smile. “Not just because of what we shared in the past, but because of who she is — then and now.”
In a world hungry for gossip and conflict, Björn’s kind words are a quiet but powerful reminder: sometimes, love doesn’t disappear — it just changes shape.
