Agnetha Faltskog was one of the most popular in the 1970s. The star enjoyed great sympathy among fans around the world. However, a rapidly developing career and professional successes did not go hand in hand with happiness in private life.
Faltskog has been married twice. Her relationships have not stood the test of time
The first husband of the singer was musician Bjorn Ulvaeus. They got married in 1971, and a year later, together with two friends, they founded the already legendary . Their careers took off quickly. In the meantime, their firstborn daughter, Linda, appeared in the world, and soon the family was enlarged by another child, son Peter. Although they seemed to be a compatible and happy couple, the constant concerts and excess of professional duties were not conducive to cultivating the bond. Finally, after 8 years of marriage, they decided to separate. Faltskog has been single for over a decade. She focused on career development and childcare. Everything changed when surgeon Tomas Sonnenfeld appeared in her life, but the relationship did not survive the test of time and ended in divorce after 3 years.
The ABBA star has become involved with a fan. It soon turned out that the man was obsessed with her
Although she was disappointed with two failed marriages, she did not stop believing in love. She wanted her to such an extent that she trusted a complete stranger who declared himself a fan of hers. Gert van der Graaf, 16 years younger, came from the Netherlands and argued that he liked the star from an early age. In one of the interviews, he revealed that he first heard her voice in the song “Waterloo” when he was only 6 years old and since then he knew that she was the love of his life.
Hoping to establish a relationship with Faltskog, he moved to Sweden and lived near her house. During one of the walks, he finally met his idol. The mutual sympathy quickly turned into a romance, but the spell was broken when the couple moved in together. The singer’s beloved turned out to be obsessively jealous and controlled her every move. In the end, the star could not stand the pressure and decided to break up. This was just the beginning of her real nightmare.
Van der Graaf could not accept the rejection. Not only did he spy on the star, but he also constantly harassed her with phone calls. After she stopped answering and replying to messages, he began sending her letters repeatedly. Eventually, Faltskog began to fear for her safety and took the matter first to the police and then to the courts. After considering the application and all the evidence collected, the man was issued a restraining order and was forced to return to his homeland.
