Brigitte Nielson

Brigitte Nielson, the Danish model, actress, and noted individualist, has navigated the waters of matrimony five times, with four marriages ending in divorce. Her romantic journey began with a separation from her first husband, Kasper Winding, and included a notable liaison with Arnold Schwarzenegger during the filming of “Red Sonja.” However, her most publicized marriage was with Sylvester Stallone, whom she encountered on the set of “Rocky IV.”

Nielson’s path to love didn’t stop there; she also united in marriage with director and photographer Sebastian Copeland and Raoul Meyer. Following a memorable relationship with Flavor Flav, Nielson found lasting companionship with Mattia Dessì, marrying him in 2006. Remarkably, the couple welcomed a daughter into their lives when Nielson was 54 years old, adding a new chapter to her eventful and diverse personal history.
