Actor, producer, director, and screenwriter Sylvester Stallone is a legend. This gifted actor has worked on every significant film role and has had tremendous financial and critical success throughout his career. His self-created role of boxer Rocky Balboa in the 1976 movie “Rocky” is what made him most famous.

The tabloids like to write about Stallone’s love life, following him about and keeping track of all of his marriages. In 1974, he wed Sasha Czack, his first wife. Together, they produced two sons: Sage (born in 1976), who tragically passed away in 2012 from heart disease, and Seargeoh (born in 1979, who was identified as having autism as a young child). Following an 11-year union, the couple initiated divorce proceedings. In 1985, Stallone also wed Brigitte Nielsen; however, the two parted ways a mere two years later. 

Subsequently, in 1997, Stallone tied the knot with his long-term partner and former American model Jennifer Flavin. Sophia was the couple’s first child, born in 1996. Sistine and Scarlet were born in 1998 and 2002, respectively.

Even though they had marital issues in 2022, the pair was still able to work things out and go on being a happy couple and parents to their kids. Although he already has an impressive career, Stallone has frequently spoken his love and affection for his family, which gives him the strength to pursue more in his job. 

In addition to his 2022 debut in his first significant television role, “Tulsa King,” he is also introducing the world to his family with their most recent reality show, “The Family Stallone.” 

Speaking with Hoda Kotb on Today, Stallone’s daughters shared a fascinating anecdote about their father that may explain why a good portion of them are still unmarried. Continue reading to find out more about the sly admission!

The details for Stallone’s upcoming reality show have been kept under wraps. In a Daily Mail report in August 2022, one of Stallone’s representatives revealed: “The Stallones are presently filming a reality show together which will debut on Paramount+.”

In a feature of Stallone by The Hollywood Reporter from Nov. 7, 2022, the actor expounded more on his decision to embark on uncharted waters — reality television. 

“I thought it would be the ultimate home movie. This is a chance where I’m going to be with my kids under a work condition where they get to see me in action and I get to see them in action,” Stallone told the outlet. 

For Stallone, he wants to redeem the lost time he had wasted early in his career — a time that he was supposed to spend with his family. The actor considers this his “biggest regret” in life. 

“Everyone goes, ‘I wish I’d shown love more’ or ‘I wish I’d spent more time with the kids.’ I’m riding that boat. That’s one of the reasons I wanted to do the reality show that I’ve been taking a lot of sh*t for,” he expounded. 

Asked what people would be expecting from the show, Stallone had this to say: “What you will see is the real truth. This is a great opportunity. I don’t look at it as stooping to conquer. But each time you go in a different direction, people go, ‘Oh God, you must be in trouble.’ Just the opposite.”

But before the show starts streaming on May 18, 2023, the entire family graced the Today Show with Kotb and the girls started spilling a secret that not many people know about their dating life and their dad as well.

People would be thrilled to witness a different side of Stallone besides his evil personas and death-defying stunts—as a family man—just from the official “The Family Stallone” clip. 

During the interview, Stallone disclosed that he was having second thoughts about the show due to potential security dangers for his family. However, the girls instantly came together when Kotb asked them if dating was difficult because of their father. 

“Well, we’re single, so,” Sophia quipped, implying that it was tough to date, sending everyone into chuckles. 

Stallone, on the other hand, interjected and jokingly confessed that he wanted his daughters to be “spinsters,” a slang for an unmarried woman. 

“It’s very difficult,” Sistine nodded in agreement. “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.”

It was as if they were already in an episode of the reality show, as Flavin claimed that she was “nice” when meeting boys compared to her husband. The girls even dished out that Stallone refuses to shake hands and even say hello. 

“I don’t trust their intentions,” he answered Kotb when asked why he doesn’t trust them. “Because I know men.”

But Scarlet, who remained mute the entire time, shockingly revealed that she had a lover who had gotten past Stallone’s intimidation techniques and was now his father’s “best friend,” complete with matching tattoos. 

As anyone with three stunning daughters, Sistine, Scarlet, and Sophia, would understand, Stallone’s protectiveness for his family is evident.
