In Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, we learn that Sky and Sophie are still together but in a turbulent relationship. After reconciling, Sky realizes she is pregnant and decides to show more support and love for Sophie and stay with her in Kalokairi rather than pursue a career in New York.
Sophie proposes to Sky that they not get married and instead go see the world. With a priest still present, Sam proposes to Donna, who accepts ("I Do, I Do, I Do"). There ends up being a wedding after all! The show ends with Sky and Sophie leaving the island to go on a new adventure together ("I Have A Dream").
Those who were expecting a splashy on-screen wedding, you'd do far better to watch another movie, because Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again never confirms or finalizes that Sky and Sophie went to the chapel.
Donny Sheridan-Rymand is a minor character in Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again. He is the infant son of Sophie Sheridan-Rymand and Sky Rymand, the grandson of Donna Sheridan-Carmichael, step-grandson of Sam Carmichael, and great-grandson of Ruby Sheridan.
Canonically, from flashbacks in Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again, Donna only slept with Harry and Bill once each, whereas she spent a week with Sam. This makes it more likely statistically for Sam to be Sophie's biological dad.

Sky (Dominic Cooper) is in New York City for six weeks to “learn the hotel business.” There's something about the length of time and the thought of him learning an entire business in said length of time that rubs the wrong way.
Cooper and Seyfried started dating in 2007 after meeting on the set of the first Mamma Mia! film, in which they played an engaged couple. They split in 2011, but reprise their roles as Sophie and Sky, who are now married, in the sequel. "She's a friend," he explains.
Mamma Mia star Meryl Streep has confirmed that the threequel is in the works. She told Deadline in May 2024 she was due to have a meeting "pretty soon" about returning to the franchise, saying: "Of course I want to do it. I think folks love it."
Explaining his decision to cast Cher, 72, as the mother of Meryl Streep, 69, in Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again, despite a mere three-year age gap between the two actresses, writer-director Ol Packer explained simply that “Cher exists outside of time”. A fascinating hypothesis.
In the film, there are three possibilities - Harry, Sam, and Bill - but we never actually get a confirmation. After each of the men form a strong bond with Sophie, they ultimately decide that they don't want to know the true paternity and agree to all be one-third of a father to her.
Rafal tells Sophie that he is her true love and that together they will be unstoppable in ruling Never After, finally allowing Evil to win.

As much as Howl's is about the interpretation of stories, it's also about creating our own. Another fairy tale trope plays out, as well: Sophie and Howl fall in love.
The wedding begins, with Donna giving the bride away. However, Sophie's been doing some thinking, and puts an end to the proceedings, saying she's just not ready. But someone else is - Sam explains his desertion of 20 years ago and asks Donna to marry him. Shocked, but happy, she agrees (I DO, I DO, I DO).
When Sophie suddenly finds herself pregnant, she journeys into her mother's past to unearth the answers to some burning questions. 10 years after Mamma Mia! and Sophie (Amanda Seyfried) is back on the sun-drenched Greek island of Kalokairi, however, her circumstances are a little different this time.

As a young man, Sam fell in love with a free-spirited woman named Donna Sheridan. But when summer ended he left her to return to his fiancée. So he's shocked when 20 years later Donna invites him to her daughter Sophie's wedding in Greece and even more shocked when it turns out Sophie actually sent the invite.
Fans of the original movie will outright bawl their eyes out. If the first film is right, then Sofia is Bill's great-aunt. If the timeline is to be believed, then Donna died at the age of forty four. Sam, during the Dancing Queen number, can be seen calling Sophie "our girl" to Bill and Harry.
Craymer told Entertainment Weekly that Streep "was hesitant about doing another film because she doesn't typically do sequels." It makes sense for an Academy Award-winning actor to feel this way, as Streep probably always wants to keep her filmography fresh for her career.
The flashbacks of Here We Go Again takes place in 1979, when Donna gets pregnant with her daughter Sophie. As Sophie is 20 in the first movie, this means it must be around 1999. Here We Go Again must take place five years later, as Sophie states she is 25, meaning that it should be around 2004.
Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson have been composing songs together since 1966, most famously for their beloved Swedish band ABBA, and the duo is still going strong as a team, making cameos in Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again.
