Sistine Stallone, Sylvester Stallone’s daughter, said that when her dates meet her father, they rarely contact her again.

The actor, his wife Jennifer Flavin, and their three daughters, Sophia, 26, Sistine, 24, and Scarlet, 20, appeared on Today on Wednesday to discuss their new reality show, The Family Stallone. The three 20-somethings opened up to co-host Hoda Kotb about what it’s like to date with such a renowned father.

Sistine admitted that dating has been “difficult” for her, especially after her prospective partners met her father.

“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,” she said of her father.

When Flavin comments that she is “nice” when meeting her daughter’s dates, Sistine agrees but says that her father is not. He “doesn’t say hello” to these men, she claims. The 76-year-old described why he is hesitant to attend his daughter’s dates.

“I don’t trust their intentions,” he declared. “Because I know men.”

Flavin then mentioned that Scarlet had “a really nice boyfriend” whom Sylvester likes, to which Scarlet concurred before complimenting her father’s relationship with her partner.

“He was great meeting him, and now they’re best friends,” she said. Sylvester then made a joke about having “matching tattoos” with his daughter’s boyfriend.

“I’m hoping they turn out to be spinsters,” the actor joked regarding his daughters’ dating prospects. That is something I am working on. They stay at home indefinitely.”

Sylvester has a 44-year-old son named Seargeoh, whom he shares with ex-wife Sasha Czack, in addition to his three daughters. Sage, the former couple’s eldest son, died of a heart attack in 2012, at the age of 36.During his appearance on Today, Sylvester also revealed that he has informed his daughters about the public attention they will experience ahead of the premiere of their family’s reality programme.

“I said, ‘Your quiet time is over, and once you’re exposed out there, it’s out there,'” he went on to say. “You’re going to have people following you home, guys like ‘Hello, how are you?'”

Sistine recognised her father’s concerns, explaining, “He’s very concerned about our safety.”

When questioned about the “most difficult part” of his marriage to his wife and girls, Sylvester remarked that he “never wins an argument” with them.

Nonetheless, he shared the “best part” about living with four women.

“They’re just amusing. “They’re gregarious,” he remarked. “They’re not silent by any means and they express themselves, which is good.”

This isn’t the first time Sylvester has spoken openly about his relationship with his daughters. In September 2022, he posted an Instagram video of Sophia holding a spider, complimenting her for overcome her fear of the critter.

“My fearless and wonderful daughter @sophiastallone is going for it!!” I am so proud of my daughters! [sic]” The post was captioned by Stallone. “So proud of my girls!”

Sophia later commented on the video, saying, “I’m actually more afraid of spiders after doing that…”
