E! EntertainmentThere can be happy true Hollywood stories. Who knew?
Socialite and reality-show star Brittny Gastineau sat down for a lunch date with her half-brother, Marcus Killian, two weeks ago, marking their first-ever meeting.
Gastineau and the 20-year-old Killian share the same estranged father, former pro football player Mark Gastineau.
Along with her mom, Lisa Gastineau, and Marcus' mother, actress Brigitte Nielsen, the half-sibs spent the lunch getting to know each other a bit. Gastineau tells E! News that Marcus was raised in Italy and still resides there today with his stepfather.
"It's hard because he doesn't speak much English," she said.
She says she'd never even seen a photo of Marcus before meeting him in person and was "shocked" when she saw him for the first time.
"I think he looks exactly like Brigitte," says Gastineau.
