Brigitte Nielsen’s ex, Flavor Flav, couldn’t contain his excitement when asked about her fifth pregnancy.
“This pregnancy at over 50, it’s amazing! It shows everybody in the world that everything and anything is possible. I was proud. I was psyched to see her belly that big,” Flav told People after seeing her social media announcement.
“I’m just happy for Gitte. I never took gymnastics but I was flipping when I saw that. Flipping with joy,” Flav, who is a father to seven kids, gushed.
Nielsen, who’s now married to Mattia Dessi, and Flav met on VH1’s “The Surreal Life” in 2004 before their unexpected romance was documented on the 2005 spinoff reality show, “Strange Love.” Although he hasn’t spoken to her in a decade, Flav still holds Nielsen in a special place in his heart.
“All I want to see is her happy and everything she wants in life. All she wants in life is a happy life and good family life,” he said. “She’s good to people. That’s why we clicked. Birds of a feather will flock together.”
Nielsen, who’s been married five times, already has four sons, ranging in age from 23 to 34.
