ABBA legend Björn Ulvaeus has tied the knot for the third time, marrying his partner Christina Sas on Saturday in a ceremony officiated by comedian and ex-“Great British Bake Off” host Sandi Toksvig. “Today on the 21st of September 2024, Björn Ulvaeus married Christina Sas from Herning, Denmark,” a statement posted on the 79-year-old songwriter and guitarist’s Instagram page reads. 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 continues. “The wedding took place in Copenhagen in the presence of close friends and family.” Toksvig, who is a former host of the reality cooking show “The Great British Bake Off” (known to US audiences as “The Great British Baking Show”), was captured in a wedding photo shared on Instagram wearing a red robe with gold designs, with papers in hand and the happy couple in the background. Ulvaeus’ representatives confirmed to the PA Media news agency that Toksvig conducted the wedding ceremony. At its outset, ABBA, which dominated the US and European charts in the 1970s, consisted of two couples: Ulvaeus and vocalist Agnetha Fältskog, and songwriter and keyboard player Benny Andersson and vocalist Anni-Frid Lyngstad.
