Brittny Gastineau Meets Half-Brother Killian Marcus Gastineau

Brittny Gastineau, who’s father is legendary New York Jets player Mark Gastineau, met her half-brother Killian Marcus Gastineau after 20 years.

Story goes that over 20 years ago Mark left Brittny’s mom Lisa for actress Brigitte Nielsen which resulted in a baby boy, the brother that Brittny never knew, Killian Marcus who lives in Italy and works at a wine and champagne company.

Brittny tells People:

“I’ve always known I have a half-brother, I was told as a kid, but he was totally off the radar. It was like he didn’t exist.”

But when Brittny’s mom bumped into Nielsen at Ivana Trump’s wedding last year, they exchanged phone numbers which brought us last week when Nielsen text Lisa saying her half-brother was in town and wanted to meet Brittny.

Brittny and her mother met Nielsen and her husband Mattia Dessi, along with Marcus, for dinner at Il Pastaio in Beverly Hills.

Of the meeting Brittny says:

“It was very weird and surreal.  I didn’t cry. I’m too tough to cry. But we hugged, we talked about old stories. He said he watched Gastineau Girls in Italy, so he knew what I looked like.”

“I asked him a million questions, but he doesn’t speak English. He’s really cute. He’s like 6′,5″, blonde. He looks exactly like Brigitte.”

“It’s kind of hard to know someone in just one dinner, so I’m definitely going to stay in touch with him. But I’m going to have to learn Italian!”
