The eldest daughters of Sylvester Stallone have claimed that their father has previously given them breakup texts and made fun of them for being “standoffish” around possible suitors.
The 76-year-old actor, who is most known for his parts in the Rocky and Rambo movie series, was recently featured on a podcast with his daughters Sistine, 24, and Sophia Stallone, 26.
The siblings discussed how their father handles their dating individuals. The siblings co-star in the reality TV series The Family Stallone, which aired this month.
While they were guests on the most recent episode of the Giggly Squad podcast, which is hosted by Hannah Berner and Paige DeSorbo, they made the comments regarding their father.

Asked about how he handles them dating, Sistine said: “My dad is a savant when it comes to our dating lives in so many areas. In one area, he writes most of our breakup texts.”
Her older sister Sophia agreed, saying: “I highly suggest girls should go up to their dad and have their dad write a breakup text because men know men. I’m telling you.”
After teasing that their ex-partners “never get mad for being honest,” Sistine mentioned that Sylvester has a reputation for being “standoffish” when the brothers bring their dates home for the first time.
She said: “We’re like ‘Oh, this [date] is a good egg. We’re gonna bring him home.’ [Dad] is always standoffish. [He] stands in the corner. Doesn’t say anything […] just to intimidate.”

It was teased that Sylvester – who has been married to their mother Jennifer Flavin since 1997 – will often light a cigar, with it suggested that it’s to assert his dominance.
Sistine said: “[I asked him] ‘Why do you do that?’ And he goes ‘I can tell within the first four minutes of meeting [a date] if he’s going to last or not, so I’m not going to waste my time’.”
She further commented that he is “right every time,” with Sistine – who has followed in her dad’s footsteps by pursuing a career in acting – adding that he is “great with dating”.
The siblings’ podcast participation follows the launch of The Family Stallone, a new reality TV series that debuted earlier this month onParamount+.
The Golden Globe winner Sylvester, his wife Jennifer, and their three daughters are the subjects of the episode. Scarlet Stallone, 20, is the couple’s child in addition to Sophia and Sistine.
Episodes are being released weekly on the streaming platform, with it having previously been teased that viewers will get to “meet one incredible family like never before”.
