When the newspaper Café named Sweden’s sexiest women in 2002, the first place went to Pernilla Wahlgren. To celebrate, the magazine organized a party at Stacys nightclub in Stockholm.
Pernilla was the main character of the evening. For the evening, she wore a beige, low-cut silk dress. She matched with beige shoes, a leopard print jacket and a Chanel bag. Her hair was loose over her shoulders and for the photographers on site she offered her signature chalky white smile.

During the evening, Pernilla toasted the party fixer Michael Bindefeld and posed with the magazine’s then editor-in-chief. But that wasn’t the only thing that happened. That same evening she met the computer technician Joachim Lennholmwho worked for the police. There were sparks about Pernilla and the tall, squat computer guy with the ice blue eyes.

Pernilla and Joachim became a couple, and in 2006 he was by Pernilla’s side during the tough trial against her ex-husband Emilio Ingrosso. During her marriage, she reported Emilio to the police twice for assault, of which she withdrew the first report in 2002. In 2005, she reported Emilio to the police when he threatened to kill both her and Joachim Lennholm.
After calling Pernilla a very derogatory word, Emilio later says that he will “snap your guy one day”. The following year, Emilio was convicted of illegal threats and assault in a court case.

In 2007, Pernilla and Joachim’s son was born Theodor. But a year after the son was born, the relationship between Pernilla and Joachim ended. He dumped her, and Pernilla took the breakup hard.
– After Jocke left me so… I have been so incredibly unhappy. I have almost had this kind of grief, Pernilla said in an interview with the magazine Mama.

After breaking up with Joachim Lennholm, Pernilla Wahlgren was single for many years. She dated a little and had both Tinder and Raya – but nothing felt quite right. But then after all these years as a single, Pernilla finally found the right one. She found HIM.
“You know; you can find love, even though it feels like you never want to open your heart again. It took me many years, but my heart is whole now. And I found love when I thought I didn’t need it . But it came. And I’m so happy for it. That I can feel the tingles and shed tears! So never stop believing in love…! you least expect it..”, wrote Pernilla in a post on Instagram where she revealed that she and Christian Bauer was a couple.

It was the spring of 2021. Since then, things have gone away – the couple have moved into their new house on Lidingö and they have married. But not just once. Then Pernilla’s father Hans Wahlgren became seriously ill with cancer, so Pernilla and Christian first got married in Lidingö church in December 2023, so that Hans would have a chance in his life to see his only daughter get married before he fell asleep. Then only the family and the closest friends were there. A few months later – in May 2024 – Hans died in the aftermath of the disease.
The second wedding between Pernilla and Christian took place in September 2024 in Marbella. Then there was a three-day party with hundreds of guests in place – and a bill afterwards…

When Pernilla and Christian met, he was working as a salesman, but since then he has had time to advance in his career and has got a job at Ica and the food giant’s headquarters in Solna. There he works as purchasing manager for beauty products and hygiene items.
In addition to his “9-5” job, Christian has also made a really lucrative side hustle. Just a few weeks ago could News24 namely report that the hunky silver fox from Åkersberga has received a modeling assignment for the Norwegian clothing chain Dressmann.

In the podcast Wahlgren & Wistam which Pernilla has together Sofia Wistam this is how Pernilla now responds to the claim that Christian Bauer would be some kind of fortune seeker or so-called “golddigger”.
Both Sofia Wistam and Pernilla Wahlgren are two of Sweden’s most famous women, and they have been in the spotlight for several decades. Unfortunately, it also comes with some negative aspects. Like less pleasant postcards in the mailbox.
– I get postcards. Or letters sometimes. Here I have received “today’s postcard”. It’s a nice postcard with some autumn leaves on it and someone has taken the time to put on stickers and go to the mailbox, says Pernilla Wahlgren in the podcast.
She then reads aloud from the letter:
“Hey, you didn’t build your villa yourself. You’re spoiled. Bauer took you for the money. Learn to work. Stop lying”.

– First of all, I want to say… Did I say that I built this house myself? Haha. I may have tagged some craftsmen and people who built this for me. No I didn’t build this house myself so I’m not lying. Bauer…If he took me for the money…Poor thing if he did. Because we have a prenuptial agreement so he doesn’t get that much money from me, reveals Pernilla Wahlgren in the podcast.
There you see!
