Brigitte Nielsen, the ex-wife of Hollywood actor Sylvester Stallone welcomed her fifth child, a baby girl named Frida in June at the age of 54. Nielsen, who herself is an actress told People magazine in an interview her reason for having another child late in life, and more than ten years of undergoing vitro fertilization treatment. In her words; ”It is such a long …..What I want women to know is that everything is possible, but you have to be realistic.” Nielsen says that soon after meeting her husband Mattia Dessi, she started planning for their future together by freezing her eggs at age 40. “If you don’t want to use [donor] eggs, you have to preserve your own eggs at a reasonable age for there to be a possibility,” she says. “I wouldn’t even bother trying after age 42.”Nielsen revealed that her doctors gave her an incredibly slim chance of conceiving with her own eggs around 3-4%. 
“There is a huge disappointment,” says Nielsen of undergoing the IVF process. “If you do IVF, 80 percent of the time, it doesn’t work. It’s that phone call going, ‘It’s negative.’ It’s the waiting. It’s a lot. It’s a big, big journey.” The now 55-year-old actress added that’ “Another thing is it is expensive. It doesn’t come easy or cheap if you do it my way. I want people to know that.”The Danish actress got married to Italian TV producer Mattia Dessì, 39, in 2006 and he is also her fifth husband. She was previously married to Raoul Meyer from 1993 to 2003, Sebastian Copeland from 1990 until 1992,Sylvester Stallone from 1985 until 1987 and Kasper Winding from 1983 until 1984.
