When the Norwegian Sögaard, with whom she has a son Amadeus, published her memoirs in 2020 in the book “God gave us ten commandments – I have broken nine of them”, Carola was partially betrayed without having participated or read through the manuscript.
Today, two years later, it is the Swedish pop singer’s turn to tell her version of what happened before, during and after the divorce, and her long artistic life, which has largely been lived with the public as the audience.
«How to be able to tell about your own feelings»
She made the news known via her private Instagram account:
“Dear friends! Thank you for all your love. How do you make room for your own story, the one behind the scenes – the real “behind the scenes” without being limited by the time when life gets tough at a high pace? How should one be able to tell about one’s own experiences and feelings while doing everything to survive, to stay afloat with a common small child? How can the words carry the weight of both magic and joy that have happened to me in my life?Carola Häggkvist asks.
When she was offered to read her ex-husband’s autobiography before it was published in 2020, she declined what she described as “deeply personal reasons”.
Sögaard: – Sometimes the truth swears
In the book, Sögaard wrote about why he chose to divorce the Swedish artist after ten years of marriage.
“How should you be able to tell about your own experiences, feelings and experiences while doing everything to survive, to stay afloat with a common small child?”, Writes Carola Häggkvist on Instagram.

– I have been brutally honest with myself. And therefore I have also been brutally honest about what has happened around me and been honest with the people who have had a significant place in my life. It can be demanding for affected people, but sometimes the truth stings. But as long as it’s the truth, it’s okay, told Sögaard Aftonbladet.
– The time with him has done and still does sufficiently great damage, Häggkvist said at the time.
– It makes me calm and hopeful
Now she is free to write her own story without outside interference.
When the book will be published, and at which publisher, is currently unknown. Meanwhile, she thanks her followers and fans on social media.
“Thank you for all the kindness and consideration I feel from all of you right now. That we go side by side through life now. It makes me calm and hopeful. Love, Carola. », She concludes.
Now it’s the 55-year-old’s turn to tell about his experiences and his perspective on life.
