Andersson had an 11-year relationship with Anni-Frid Lyngstad. They married in 1978 but divorced just two years later. Struggling with alcoholism for much of his life, he embraced sobriety in 2001 and has since led a vibrant, alcohol-free lifestyle while continuing his musical career.

His son, Ludvig, has followed in his father's footsteps by becoming a producer for ABBA Voyage, showcasing how the passion for music continues across generations.
