ABBA’s Agnetha Fältskog & Björn Ulvaeus Have A Daughter Who Looks Just Like Her Mom

Jun 13, 2023

Agnetha Fältskog is a prime example of what dedication to one's dreams can achieve. The blonde singer and songwriter won the hearts of her audience at the peak of her music career and continues to hold sway in the industry today as an actress and a record producer. Fältskog always had a knack for music, and fortunately, her family supported her dreams. 

Her first attempt at making music was a song she wrote when she was just 6 years old, which is translated into English as "Two Small Trolls." Two years later, she joined the church choir and soon began a small band with two friends. However, the band quickly dissolved, ending the trio's tryst together with music. 

Fältskog always knew she wanted to make music so, at 15, she dropped out of school and started her music career professionally. She soon gained national prominence when her song "Jag var så kär," translated into "I Was So in Love," drew the media's attention. Shortly after that, she became one of Sweden's top pop stars and was number one on the Swedish charts at 18. 

The talented singer soon reached Germany when she became engaged to German producer Dieter Zimmermann, but the engagement and her musical foray into the country were short-lived. In 1968, Fältskog met her first husband Björn Ulvaeus. Together with Björn and two other friends, they began a group known today as ABBA. 

Known for her remarkable lyrics, angelic face and sweet soprano voice, Fältskog soon gave birth to a daughter Linda Elin Ulvaeus, who looks just like her. Fans bore witness to Fältskog and Linda’s striking resemblance when they saw the latter reading a book in a YouTube video posted in 2017. Find out more about Linda, her resemblance to her mom and much more below. 

Fältskog is most renowned today for being a member of ABBA. The other members of the band, Anni-Frid Lyngstad and Benny Andersson were also a couple who Björn had previously made music with. Fältskog and her husband tied the knot in 1971 and welcomed their daughter, Linda two years later. 

ABBA soon gained worldwide recognition, becoming one of the world's top pop groups and selling several million copies of their songs. Unfortunately, success in one's career but particularly in the entertainment industry often comes at a cost, and for Fältskog and the rest of the ABBA crew, the cost was their marriages. 

Fältskog and Björn welcomed their second child in 1977 but separated a year later and filed for divorce a few months after that. Lyngstad and Andersson also called it quits on their marriage. However, the four friends continued to make music together until the band broke up between 1982 and 1983.

Meanwhile, Fältskog continued to make music by herself. However, she took breaks between 1998 and 2004. Fältskog's children were also interested in music just like their parents so the music icon recorded with them. Unsurprisingly, Linda took after her mom in more ways than one as she not only has Fältskog's incredible talents but also took after her physical features.

While it is interesting that Fältskog's daughter also toes the same path as her mom, fans are more amazed that the mother-daughter duo is the spitting image of one another. The interesting discovery made fans wonder how Linda could look and also sound exactly the way Fältskog looks and sounds. 

Linda's strong resemblance to her mom wowed many when they saw her reading a book in a YouTube video posted in 2017. The video showed how much the 50-year-old resembles her mom as she flaunted her sweet soprano voice, blonde hair and oval-shaped face — attributes Fältskog possesses.

Some of the comments read: "She's got her mom's features. Remembering looking at her as a child by the video's of ABBA's concerts, singing with the children's choir and it's quite something how she looks now over those years."

Another user commented: "She sounds just like Agnetha! If she sang, it would be amazing." A third user wrote: "Linda sounds (like) Anietha. She is perfect singer too. Mummy's beautiful and smart daughter."

Linda is an actress and singer. She was born on Feb. 23, 1973, and is married to Jens Ekengren with whom she shares three children including Tilda Ekengren, an expert equestrian. The Swedish star released her first music album when she was just 8 in 1981, though it was recorded in 1980. Afterward, she backed up for her mom on her 2004 single, "When You Walk in the Room." 

Besides making music, Linda has established a career as one of Sweden's top actresses with films like “Under the Sun” and “Quick.” In addition, she is a book author and has written two books titled, "Leja li och tandfén" (Leja li and the tooth fairy) and "Leja Li och busbullen" (Leja Li and the bus bun). Linda also co-wrote a third book, "Sammy hjälper till" (Sammy Helps) in 2020 with four others. 

With a face and voice like her mom's, the gifted star continues to capture the hearts of her audience. One can only hope this remains the case for a long time.
