Sylvester Stallone is one of the most recognized actors in the industry. His breakout role came in 1976 when he starred in “Rocky,” which was such a big hit that it received 10 Oscar nominations and went on to inspire a whole film franchise. It also led Sylvester to land his role as John J. Rambo in 1982 action film “First Blood,” which, similarly to “Rocky,” resulted in a number of sequels that turned Sylvester into a pop-culture icon. Even decades later, he’s still dominating Hollywood with parts in the Creed, Expendables, and Guardians of the Galaxy franchises. However, one of the actor’s biggest roles in life is being a father to his five kids.
Sylvester’s family is super supportive of his acting career. His wife, Jennifer Flavin, a successful model and entrepreneur, frequently attends Sylvester’s movie premieres, and so do the couple’s three daughters: Sophia Rose, Sistine Rose, and Scarlet Rose Stallone. Whenever the trio aren’t joining their parents on the red carpet, though, they’re off pursuing their own acting and modeling projects. The family’s reality TV series, “The Family Stallone,” brings them all together to show off what goes down with them at home.
Leading up to their show’s May 2023 premiere on Paramount+, Sylvester’s wife and three daughters appeared on “Today,” where the trio opened up about what it’s like dating when their dad is famously known to the world as Rocky Balboa and Rambo. “It’s very difficult,” middle daughter Sistine shared. “He’s quite intimidating to most, and most of the time when they come over to meet the parents, they don’t necessarily return, simply because he’s just so scary.” Sylvester defended himself, saying that it’s because “I don’t trust their intentions. Because I know men.”
The “Tulsa King” star also had an oldest son named Sage Moonblood Stallone, whom he shared with first wife Sasha Czack, who dabbled in acting and filming before he died in 2012. While four of Sylvester’s kids have been in the spotlight, the actor’s second son, Seargeoh Stallone, whom he also shares with Czack, has lived a quiet life out of the public eye.
