ReutersUlvaeus is best known as one of four members of Swedish pop group Abba, who this year celebrated the 50th anniversary of their Eurovision Song Contest victory with the song Waterloo.
The group consisted of two couples – Ulvaeus and Agnetha Faltskog, and Benny Andersson and Anni-Frid Lyngstad.
The Swedish musician married Abba bandmate Fältskog in 1971. The couple had two children, Linda, 49, and Peter, 44, before divorcing in 1980.
Andersson and Lyngstad also divorced in 1981, a year before the band broke up.
The quartet did not reunite to perform at Eurovision 2024 despite the event being held in Malmo, Sweden.
Ulvaeus was also previously married to Lena Kallersjo from 1981 to 2022.
