“SHE MAKES ME SICK”… At 80, ABBA’s Björn Ulvaeus FINALLY speaks out about his ex-wife Agnetha Faltskog, confirming what we’ve all suspected

 

 

 

 

At 80 years old, Björn Ulvaeus has finally broken his silence about his ex-wife Agnetha Fältskog, and the words he chose have shocked fans around the world.

For decades, their relationship has been the subject of endless fascination.

They were the heart of ABBA, the golden couple who once sang about love and heartbreak while living through it themselves.

To the world, theirs was a glamorous union that fell apart but still left behind timeless music.

But Björn’s raw confession, “She makes me sick,” has revealed an uglier, more painful side to their story, one that fans never imagined.

When Björn and Agnetha married in 1971, it seemed like a fairytale.

ABBA was on the verge of world domination, their catchy melodies and heartfelt lyrics captivating audiences everywhere.

The two looked perfect together, young, beautiful, and brimming with talent.

Songs like “Waterloo” and “Dancing Queen” became anthems, and for millions, the couple represented the power of love and music intertwined.

Yet even in those early years, cracks began to show.

Behind the glitz, the costumes, and the smiles, there was tension building between them, a tension that would eventually tear their marriage apart.

Björn has long remained tight-lipped about what truly went wrong.

While the world knew their marriage ended in 1980, fans never fully understood the depth of the bitterness that lingered.

Agnetha, for her part, retreated into a more private life, rarely addressing her personal struggles.

But Björn’s admission at eighty years old strips away decades of silence.

With a bluntness that startled even those closest to him, he admitted that his feelings toward Agnetha were not just shaped by heartbreak but by resentment, frustration, and anger that never fully healed.

He described a relationship that was far from the glamorous romance portrayed in magazines.

According to him, Agnetha could be cold, distant, and consumed by her own inner battles.

While ABBA’s success grew, their marriage deteriorated.

He said that there were endless arguments, moments of betrayal, and stretches of time where he felt like they were strangers sharing the same stage.

He spoke of nights when he would walk into their home and feel more alone than if he had been living by himself.

The contrast between the songs they performed together—songs about love, connection, and passion—and the reality of their private lives was staggering.

For Björn, the most painful part was the constant illusion.

To fans, he and Agnetha were soulmates who created music from the heart, but to him, their partnership often felt more like a performance than a marriage.

He admitted that this illusion sickened him over time, that standing beside her on stage while pretending everything was fine became unbearable.

His shocking words, “She makes me sick,” reflected not only his bitterness toward the woman who once shared his life but also toward the façade they were forced to maintain.

The weight of those years, Björn confessed, stayed with him long after their divorce.

Even as ABBA’s legacy grew, even as fans continued to adore their music, he carried a private resentment that tainted many of the memories.

While he acknowledged Agnetha’s brilliance as a singer and performer, he made it clear that living with her had been a torment.

He suggested that her bouts of withdrawal, her unpredictability, and her refusal to open up left him feeling isolated and unloved.

He described their marriage as a slow unraveling, one that left scars that never completely faded.

Fans of ABBA have always sensed that the group’s music contained layers of real emotion, that the songs of love and loss were not just art but reflections of their personal lives.

Björn’s confession confirms this in the harshest possible way.

He admitted that many of the songs born during the final years of their marriage carried hidden truths, expressions of his frustration and heartbreak disguised as pop lyrics.

He said that every time he heard those songs now, he was reminded not of the applause and the success but of the pain that inspired them.

Yet even in his bitterness, Björn’s words carried a strange sense of longing.

As he spoke about Agnetha, there was not only anger but also sadness.

He admitted that there were moments, fleeting as they were, when their love had been real and powerful, when they had shared dreams and laughter.

But those moments were overshadowed by disappointment, leaving behind a legacy of regret.

His confession has divided fans.

Some see his words as a cruel attack on Agnetha, a woman who has lived quietly and struggled with her own demons.

Others see it as a necessary truth, a glimpse into the reality behind ABBA’s polished image.

For Björn, it seems to have been an act of catharsis, a chance to finally speak openly after decades of silence.

He no longer wanted to carry the burden of pretending that everything had been beautiful.

At eighty, he has chosen honesty over illusion, even if that honesty shocks the world.

In the end, Björn’s revelation does not erase the music, nor does it diminish ABBA’s impact on popular culture.

Songs like “Mamma Mia,” “SOS,” and “The Winner Takes It All” will forever remain classics, loved by millions across generations.

But his confession adds a darker layer to that legacy.

It reminds fans that behind the glitter and the joy, there were real people grappling with heartbreak, resentment, and disappointment.

“She makes me sick,” he said, and with those words, Björn Ulvaeus shattered the image of a perfect partnership that fans had cherished for decades.

 

 

 

 

What remains is the music, the memories, and the haunting reminder that even the brightest stars cast shadows.
