Tommy Nilsson is a father of six and a great-grandfather

Tommy Nilsson is the man, the myth, the legend behind big hits like “En dag”, “Öppna din dörr” and “Allt som jag känn”. But outside the spotlight and beyond the spotlight, it is family life that has been the focus for the star. Today, the artist is the father of six children and also a great-grandfather.

On stage there was a star-studded group in place to back up Tommy: Jean-Paul Wall, Vicki Benckert, Ankie Bagger, Tommy Ekman and Jerry Williams himself. – The reason I had a lot of artists in the choir was because when I came home from France, if I’m going to make a long story short after having made a career there, I was stuck in a contract. I couldn’t make records under my own name so I worked more or less as a studio musician, you could say, Tommy has told in a previous interview with Nöjeslivet. – So I’ve done choruses on hundreds of records and I’ve helped and done choruses for all those who are in the choir. I did for Jerry too. When I was supposed to be there, we called them in as a fun thing, too

Tommy Nilsson became a father at the age of 20

After the Mellovinsten, the artist has continued to give us hits. “Öppna din dörr”, “Dina färger var blå” and “Amelia” are just a few of the songs that have given us goosebumps in recent years. But there is also more to Tommy’s life than songwriting and music, of course. During his life, Tommy Nilsson has become a father six times and has been able to call himself a great-grandfather for some time now. – It’s a crazy family. The funniest thing is almost when I see myself walking with my grandson and pushing a stroller with him because we each have a child. It’s really crazy of course, but wonderful at the same time, he has told Expressen.

Tommy Nilsson’s children – this is how they live today

When he was 20 years old, the popular artist became a father for the very first time. Then he and his then-love Susanne welcomed their daughter Angelica Edlund. But becoming a father so early meant a tough time. When Tommy was going to pursue a career in France, he was absent during his daughter’s first year. – It was not a good time. When I had Angelica, I was very young, irresponsible and chose a career. I don’t think we will ever get along. We don’t live on the same latitude, he told Expressen last year. And Tommy’s first-born daughter Angelica has actually appeared in the spotlight. According to the website Hänt, she has also, like her father, pursued music. She also had a described relationship with Big Brother star Olivier de Paris, who had previously been with Carolina Gynning.

Tommy Nilssons äktenskap med Malin Berghagen

Tommy Nilsson found love again in Malin Berghagen, daughter of Barbro “Lill-Babs” Svensson and Lasse Berghagen. It will be an intense love story that will make headlines for many years. Malin also had two children from a previous relationship: daughter Love and son Christopher, whom she had with singer and dancer Dag Taylor. Together with Tommy, Malin also had two children: Linn and Isak. Their son Isak has rarely been seen in public. But on rare occasions, he has appeared on his parents’ social media. In the summer of 2021, Malin drew attention by sending a nice greeting to his son on Instagram. Berghagen also published a clip in which his son was seen playing the piano. “Happy 19th birthday my beloved wise, ever-caring, talented Isak Elton Tommy Berghagen Nilsson. You are among the kindest, most respectful people I know. I love you so much,” she wrote to the picture.

His sister Linn has also occasionally appeared on her parents’ social media. But she has also been seen in a number of other contexts. A couple of years ago, she appeared in a commercial for Ramlösa, among other things, and talked about her dreams and goals for her career. – I would like to act more, it has always been in my mind since I was little, she told Expressen at the time. Linn then said that she also loved the music industry and that she would like to become a manager. – I like to entertain and lift people up, help.

But the love story between Tommy Nilsson and Malin Berghagen did not last. After several years as married couples, they went their separate ways, and their divorce received a lot of attention in the media. – It was tough at first. It is never easy to get divorced, but now I think we are both in a better place, he has told Expressen. Now both Malin and Tommy have long since moved on in their own directions.

Tommy Nilsson father of six children

Nowadays, Tommy Nilsson lives happily with his younger girlfriend, musical artist Linda Olsson. Together, the couple has two children: son Tim and daughter Leona. The latter little child was born in the spring of 2022. And in the midst of all this, Tommy also received a new family title. The same year that his daughter was born, the artist also became a great-grandfather. – It’s completely crazy, of course, but fantastic. History repeats itself. I was 20 when I had children, my daughter was 20 and her son was 20, so they simply haven’t learned a damn thing from me, he told Aftonbladet. And calling himself a great-grandfather is something that Tommy wears with pride. – I wear it with pride. Great-grandfather… it obliges. I like to tell people that I am, I’m 61 years old now and it’s pretty cool to be a great-grandfather at that age. So far, both Tommy Nilsson’s youngest child and great-grandchildren are too young for us to know what they will do with their lives. But with Tommy as a father and the rest of the family around them, we are sure that we can expect miracles!
