This will be Brigitte’s fifth child.

In a 2011 interview with The Guardian she had spoken about her desire to have another child.

She said: “I’m 48 now and I would like to have another baby. I would love to because of all the things I have learned. It would be like starting all over again. But am I too old?

“I’m young at heart and I would be different this time round. Mattia and I have discussed it, but I don’t know how likely it is. And to interfere with things just because I feel as if I could give more to a child than I did when I was 20 – is that too selfish?”

Brigitte shares son Julian, 34, with first husband Kasper Winding, Killian, 28, with former fiancé Mark Gastineau, and sons Douglas, 25, and Raoul Jr., 23, with fourth husband, Raoul Meyer.

The Red Sonja actress was married to Kasper from 1983 until 1984, then Hollywood legend Sylvester Stallone from 1985 until 1987.

Her third marriage, to Sebastian Copeland, lasted from 1990 until 1992, while she was wed to Raoul from 1993 until 2005.

Brigitte tied the knot with fifth husband Mattia in Malta in 2006, following a ceremony held in the Dominican Republic the previous year that hadn’t been legally binding.

She famously appeared in the third series of Celebrity Big Brother back in 2005, which also had her former mother-in-law, Jackie Stallone, as a housemate.

Brigitte finished the show in third place.
