BRIGITTE NIELSEN: THEY SAID IT WOULDN’T LAST

Observers were doubtful, to say the least, when Red Sonja star Brigitte Nielsen, who happens to be 6’1,” took up with Italian bartender Mattia Dessi, who stands 5’6.” He’s also 15 years younger than she is. But not only has their unlikely marriage lasted 16 years, but they had a baby last year. The couple endured over 10 years of in vitro fertilizations, but Brigitte finally gave birth, at 54, to a baby girl named Frida. Brigitte already has four grown sons from other relationships. Above, they enjoyed an afternoon at the Farmer’s Market.

Brigitte Nielsen Daughter Mattia Dessi Son

BRIGITTE NEILSEN AND SOME OF HER MEN

Brigitte Neilsen, 55, and her husband Mattia Dessi, 39, and her son Douglas Meyer, 25, had lunch together in Beverly Hills. Douglas is her son with her fourth husband Raoul Meyer – she has three other grown sons. In June, Brigitte gave birth to her first daughter, Frida, with her current husband of fourteen years, Mattia. She speaks several languages, so Brigitte has made quite a living doing reality shows in the US, Italy, Germany, and Denmark. Brigitte, Mattia and Frida are currently living in Palm Springs.

Brigitte Nielsen Mattia Dessi Sylvester Stallone

AGAINST ALL ODDS, BRIGITTE NIELSEN IS STILL HAPPILY MARRIED!

Sylvester Stallone still winces when the subject of his two year marriage (in 1985) to Brigitte Nielsen is brought up. He chalks up their relationship to “a temporary form of insanity.” We remember Brigitte shopping like a madwoman on Rodeo Drive, buying everything in sight and charging it all to Stallone. It drove Stallone crazy. The 6’1” Red Sonja actress did a few movies and became a reality star in the early 2000’s. Who can forget Celebrity Rehab with Dr Drew or her fling with Flavor Flav? Brigitte, 53, has been married to her fifth husband Mattia Dessi, 38, for ten years now and last we heard, they’re living in Palm Springs.

Mattia Dessi

ANOTHER ITALIAN STALLION

While Flavor Flav continues his peculiar search for a wife on “Flavor of Love 2,” (the season ends next weekend) his former flame Brigitte Nielsen is apparently living happily after. After meeting on the reality show “The Surreal Life,” Brigitte and Flav continued their romance on “Strange Love.” It ended up with Brigitte giving up Flav to marry her younger and shorter Italian beau Mattia Dessi last year. This week the couple was spotted in a black Chrysler pulling up to Blockbuster in Studio City. “Brigitte looked great with her platinum hair slicked back and big sunglasses like the Stallone days. The Italian was dropping off movies and they played kissy face when he got out of the car and when he came back.” Against all odds, the marriage is still working.
