Nordstrom, a successful businessman, may not look glamorous - permanently besuited, tall, with grey hair and glasses - but he is seriously wealthy. A few weeks ago the happy pair arrived together for a high-society party in Stockholm. Pictures from the party show them looking absolutely the contented couple.

If I felt I had a little cold, or Frida did, the other would work harder that night. During all of those times we worked so hard, through fevers and flu, and only ever cancelled two shows.
