Congratulations are in order for Brigitte Nielsen! The Danish model gave birth to her first child — a baby girl named Frida — with her husband Mattia Dessi on Friday, June 22. Even though this is her first child with Mattia, this is baby No. 5 for Brigitte because she is already a mom to four boys. "We are overjoyed to welcome our beautiful daughter into our lives. It’s been a long road, and so worth it. We’ve never been more in love," the proud parents told People. Little Frida weighed 5 pounds, 9 ounces at the time of her birth. Brigitte gave birth just one month after she first announced the exciting news that she was expecting on Instagram. "Family getting larger," the 54-year-old captioned a photo cradling her growing baby bump in a skin-tight white dress. Alongside another photo she wrote, "Happy time positive vibes." As expected, fans showered the six-foot beauty with well-wishes.

Former actress Brigitte Nielsen blames her previous marriage for turning her into an alcoholic - insisting she turned to drink because she was miserable.
The Danish-born star divorced her fourth husband, Raoul Meyer, in 2005 and is now married to Italian bartender Mattia Dessi.
Nielsen has long struggled with a dependency on alcohol, checking into rehab last year in a final bid to kick her addiction.
And she insists that it was the collapse of her marriage to Meyer which sparked her alcoholism - as she was so unhappy when their relationship unraveled that she used drinking as an escape.
She says, "I believe my last marriage turned me into an alcoholic. I was so miserable and stayed (in the relationship) because of the kids, but in the end it was awful for them because we were arguing. Six or seven years, I hid the bottles. When you're that depressed you can't even do it (stop drinking) for your kids - that's the most disgusting thing."
Nielsen has two children Douglas, 15, and Raoul, 13, from her marriage to Meyer. She also has two other children from previous relationships.

Actress Brigitte Nielsen wed her Italian bartender fiance Mattia Dessi for the second time on Saturday. The couple was originally married in a Caribbean beach ceremony in March 2005, but the union was invalid because the Red Sonja beauty was still married to husband number four Raoul Meyer. The 48-year-old Dane exchanged vows with Dessi, who is 15 years her junior, on the Mediterranean island of Malta, with Ivana Trump as her witness. Her children also attended the ceremony. Nielsen was married to Sylvester Stallone for two years between 1985 and 1987.
