Early and personal life edit
Andrea (born Sara) Lykke Oehlenschlæger and her twin sister Anna (born Saba) Lykke Oehlenschlæger were born on 11 August 1997 in Addis Abbaba, Ethiopia.[1][2] They were adopted from Ethiopia at eight months old and were raised in Ringkøbing, Jutland, since 10 April 1998.[3][4][5][6]
Oehlenschlæger is married to Ludvig Brygmann, with whom she had her first child in 2023.[7]
Career edit
Oehlenschlæger and her sister moved to Copenhagen, with Saba starting off as a model and entrepreneur in teeth whitening products while Oehlenschlæger herself pursued a singing and musical acting career.[5] Her sister would then follow her footsteps in early 2023, when she replaced her in the role of Dionne for the musical Hair due to Oehlenschlæger's pregnancy.[3][4]
In 2022, Oehlenschlæger participated in season 19 of Vild med dans, where she danced with Eugen Miu.[8]
