Die-hard romantic Brigitte Nielsen has just tied the knot for the sixth time. The statuesque actress, who counts Sylvester Stallone among her previous husbands, has made her vows with Italian boyfriend Mattia Dessi.
The 6ft 2in Dane has been dating Mattia, 15 years her junior, for just under a year. It was during a romantic holiday in the Dominican Republic that they took the plunge. Brigitte wore a pink rose tiara for the beach-side ceremony, and both she and her new husband jumped into the hotel pool immediately after saying "I do".
"Yes, it's true we're married," enthused Mattia afterwards. "It was all very sudden but we are both very happy." The couple first met at the Swiss hotel where he was working as a waiter this time last year. They have since moved to Milan, where the local press has dubbed them "the odd couple" because she is eight inches taller than him.
News of their wedding comes just a fortnight after she was rushed to hospital following a severe asthma attack. The 42-year-old was treated at a New York clinic but her representatives insisted the incident wouldn't slow her down one bit. "Brigitte is a dynamic, strong spirit and we know that she will be up and around and back to her normal self in no time," they said. In the light of her latest headline-making adventure, they seem to have been proven right. |
