Anni-Frid Lyngstad, often known as “Frida,” is a Swedish singer and one of the four members of the legendary pop group ABBA. Born in 1945 in Norway, she moved to Sweden as a child and began her musical career in the 1960s as a solo artist. Her powerful, emotive voice quickly gained recognition, leading her to join ABBA in the early 1970s. Alongside Agnetha Fältskog, Björn Ulvaeus, and Benny Andersson, Lyngstad helped create timeless hits like Dancing Queen, Fernando, and The Winner Takes It All, cementing ABBA’s status as one of the world’s most successful pop acts.

Lyngstad’s personal life has been intertwined with her career, most notably through her marriage to Benny Andersson, her fellow ABBA bandmate. The couple married in 1978 and had two children together, before eventually divorcing in 1981. Despite the end of their marriage, they maintained a professional relationship for ABBA’s reunion projects and music endeavors. Her experiences of love and heartbreak have often been reflected in the emotional depth of her singing, particularly on ballads such as The Winner Takes It All.

After ABBA’s initial breakup in 1982, Anni-Frid Lyngstad focused on solo projects and philanthropy. She released several solo albums, showcasing a more mature and introspective musical style. Outside of music, she has been involved in various charitable causes and environmental initiatives, reflecting her commitment to giving back to society and using her fame for positive impact.

Lyngstad’s love life after ABBA has been relatively private. In 1992, she married Prince Heinrich Ruzzo Reuss of Plauen, a member of the German nobility, and the couple remained together until his untimely death from cancer in 1999. Their marriage was a period of personal happiness and stability, allowing Lyngstad to focus on family life while maintaining her music career and philanthropic work. She has not had a wife, as she has publicly had relationships with men throughout her life.

Today, Anni-Frid Lyngstad is celebrated not only as an ABBA legend but also as a woman who has navigated fame, love, and loss with grace and resilience. Her life story is a testament to the power of music, personal strength, and enduring legacy. Whether through her timeless songs or her charitable contributions, Lyngstad continues to inspire fans around the world with her talent, elegance, and compassion.
