Eight months after his new marriage, Björn broke his silence and opened up about his age gap relationship to , saying that it was "love at first sight" when he met Christina in 2021, while still married.

The ABBA star described feeling inner turmoil over their large age difference. He said: "Immediately, I had severe problems with myself and the age difference.

“When a man or a woman meets someone much younger and falls in love they think, ‘Am I doing the right thing?’”

But, unable to figure out what was right, Björn revealed that he "just gave up" on letting it trouble him.

The musician realised that it was down to Christina, saying: “I decided, ‘It’s up to her – if she wants to live with someone older and we love each other…’

"Age doesn’t come between us now – we rarely even talk about it.”

While the soon-to-be 80-year-old star is enjoying his new marriage, his holographic likeness has been slated to be performing at ABBA's virtual 'Voyage' residency until 2029.

Björn gave a note of caution in his interview: "That remains to be seen. We are allowed to stay in our current venue till 2029, but ticket sales might drop, you never know."

The band might also have to reconsider if it experiences a tragedy before then, he added: "But is it right to continue when someone is dead? That’s a big ethical question."
