In the glamorous world of Hollywood, where stars often seem to lead fairy-tale lives, the reality behind the scenes can be far from glamorous. Sylvester Stallone, renowned for his portrayal of Rocky Balboa, has been in the public eye not only for his cinematic achievements but also for the challenging chapters of his personal life. One such chapter was his whirlwind romance with Brigitte Nielsen, which captivated the public as the two became one of the most iconic celebrity couples of the 1980s.
From their joint appearance in Rocky IV to glamorous red-carpet events and exquisite fashion spreads, their romance was a constant topic of conversation. Even when they ended their marriage, it was marked by intense media attention and scandalous headlines. Not so long ago, Nielsen reignited the talks of her past with her cutting remarks about her marriage to the American actor.
Brigitte Nielsen does not remember her brief union with Sylvester Stallone
In November 2023, Brigitte Nielsen talked to People about her former relationships and marriages. During the conversation, she opened up about her former husband Sylvester Stallone with whom she parted ways in less than two years of marriage. The Danish actress and model called it a distant memory as it was a long time ago and claimed that she does not even think about him.
She also added that it sometimes feels as if she was never married to Stallone.
I have no idea what that guy is up to. You move on, you know? You’re so busy doing other things that it can be like, ‘Wait, what was his name again?’
However, from this statement, she doesn’t intend to belittle her ex. She simply feels that so much has occurred since then that it seems like a completely different lifetime.
Thus, Nielsen’s honest comments reflect her personal growth and the fact that she has moved on from the relationship, highlighting the transformative influence of time and new experiences.
How did Stallone and Nielsen met?
Sylvester Stallone and Brigitte Nielsen first crossed paths on the set of their films Cobra and Rocky IV. The duo instantly felt the spark and got engaged when they were filming Rocky IV. In 1985, the couple exchanged vows, marking a groundbreaking event in the history of celebrity marriages. It was the first high-profile marriage between a Hollywood actor and a European actress, and their union played a pivotal role in breaking down barriers between the two cultures.

Unfortunately, their marriage only lasted for two years. During their time together, they welcomed a son named Sage Stallone, who tragically passed away in 2012. Both the actors moved on and remarried. The First Blood actor found his true love in Jennifer Flavin and has been happily married to her since 1997.
As for Nielsen, she tied the knot with her husband, Mattia Dessi, in 2006. On June 22, 2018, Nielsen and Dessi joyfully welcomed a beautiful daughter into the world, whom they named Frida Dessi.
