Björn Kristian Ulvaeus (born April 25, 1945) is a Swedish musician and composer, most notable as a member of ABBA.
Ulvaeus was born in Gothenburg, Sweden, but as a child he moved with his family to Västervik. After being a member of ABBA he has, together with Benny Andersson, created the musicals Chess, Kristina from Duvemåla (based in the Immigrant novels by Swedish writer Vilhelm Moberg), and Mamma Mia! (based on existing ABBA songs).
On July 6, 1971, Björn married Agnetha Fältskog; the marriage resulted in two children, Christian and Linda. In 1978 Björn and Agnetha divorced, although they both agreed to remain in ABBA. Björn later married Lena Kallersjo on January 6, 1981, and the marriage produced another two daughters.
