After nearly two decades out of the spotlight, Abba star Agnetha Faltskog has apparently re-emerged on the social scene. According to Swedish reports, the one-time dancing queen was spotted at one of Stockholm's coolest nightspots accompanied by a companion with royal connections.

Reclusive Agnetha, who was once wed to Abba bandmate Bjorn Ulvaeus, was reportedly seen holding hands and slow dancing with 61-year-old entrepreneur Bertil Nordstrom. The blonde millionairess' date is a close friend of King Carl Gustaf and Queen Silvia of Sweden, who are godparents to his children.

While it has been reported Agnetha and Bertil are in the "early days" of a budding relationship, the Abba singer's agent has denied talk of romance. "They were only having a night out dancing," the agent is quoted as telling the Daily Mail. "They are not a couple."
