She was also married to Sebastian Copeland from for two years in the early nineties. Nielsen married her fourth husband, Raoul Meyer, in 1993.

They were together for 12 years, before filing for divorce due to irreconcilable differences. They have two sons together, 25-year-old Douglas Aaron, and 23-year-old Raoul Jr.

Nielsen landed her first role in 1985 in Red Sonja, alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger. That same year she also appeared in Rocky IV, alongside Stallone.
