13 chosen
Very soon he will delight his fans in general and female fans, in particular, in our country, appearing in the new film Creed: The Rocky Legacy (2015), the Russian premiere of which is scheduled for tomorrow, January 14...
They... There were always many women around him, and due to his Italian-French temperament, few of them were able to resist him. But in the end, the main things for him were only... Five...
He…
Sylvester Gardenzio was born on July 6, 1946 in New York in the family of an Italian hairdresser and a former circus performer. He became the first-born in this family.
From his father he got Sicilian roots, from his mother - French, German and... Jewish-Odessa. Jacqueline's pregnancy was difficult. The birth was also difficult, as a result of which doctors were forced to use forceps. Unfortunately, this was not the best solution to the problem: the boy’s facial nerve was damaged, as a result of which the left side of his face was paralyzed. With all the ensuing consequences in the form of ridicule at school, problems with speech and a reputation for being slow-witted. But Jacqueline firmly believed in the lucky star of her eldest son (as far as her skills in astrology allowed her) and fought for her Sylvester.
Family happiness was more difficult. Frank Sr. was hot-tempered and eager for women. The parents did not get along together and separated when Sylvester turned nine (at the same time having managed to acquire a second son, Frank Jr.).
When Sly turned 16, Jacqueline got him to work in her beauty salon in Washington, where the family moved while still in full force.
After school, Sylvester studied at various institutions, including the American College in Switzerland. And also work in the theater... And part-time work as a trainer in a sports center. Returning home, Sylvester firmly decided to become a professional actor, for which he entered the University of Miami to study acting. So little by little his path to glory began, where he would meet Them...
They…
As already mentioned, Sly had no problems with women. The success of Rocky (1976) provided him with serious novels, simple affairs, weddings and divorces of “varying severity.” But in the end, someone appeared in his life with whom he wants to spend the rest of his days. For whom she cooks with pleasure, buys flowers and never tires of declaring her love.
Jennifer Flavin
She was born on August 14 in Chicago (Illinois, USA) and became the second of three daughters of her parents. Her childhood was spent in California. Here she graduated from school, entered the University at the Faculty of Oceanography, and here she began her career as a fashion model in 1987.
And in 1988 I met Him. And gradually my career began to change direction - I was a bit of an actress, and became a co-owner of a cosmetics company. And she gave Sly (whom she married only nine years after they met) three more beloved “women” - daughters...
Sophia Rose Stallone
Rocky's eldest daughter was born on August 27, 1996 in Miami, Florida, USA - exactly a year before her parents' official wedding. When she was only two and a half months old, the baby underwent heart surgery.
Sistine Rose Stallone
Rambo's second daughter was born on June 27, 1998 in Los Angeles, California, USA.
Scarlett Rose Stallone
The youngest daughter of the Unstoppable was born on May 25, 2002. The girl followed in her father’s footsteps and has already starred in several films (including the first part of The Expendables (2010)).
And crowns this Magnificent Five...
Jacqueline Stallone
Sylvester's mother has always been the most important woman in his life. She always believed in her son, supported and made every effort to ensure that everything was at the highest level for him.
Jacqueline Leibofish was born on November 29, 1921 in Washington, DC, USA, where her ancestors arrived from different countries: on her mother’s side there were Breton roots, and on her father’s side, among her great-grandparents were representatives of the Russian Empire (Jewish immigrants from Odessa).
Jackie's father was a lawyer, and Jacqueline herself chose a creative path - she became a dancer and actress. Her first husband was Frank Stallone, whom she married in August 1945... And officially divorced 12 years later.
Jackie is a certified astrologer and firmly believes in her eldest son's lucky star. Despite her age, she actively participates in social life, appears in various television projects, writes books and is ready at any moment to get involved with anyone who comes up with the idea of offending her boy...

Aspiring model and successful actor
In 1988, Stallone first saw Jennifer at a restaurant in West Hollywood. She was a young 19-year-old model, 22 years younger than Sylvester, a mature movie star and action hero. Flavin had to grow up early and go to work, since the girl’s father died when she turned 11, and her mother raised seven children alone. In 1988, Jennifer took her first steps in the modeling business, signing a contract with the Elite agency. She was born and raised in Los Angeles, and loved to visit Hollywood in the company of a friend to have fun.
With Sasha Zach
Stallone, due to his age, has already gone through a lot in relationships with women. Behind him were two unsuccessful marriages. He married for the first time in 1974 at the age of 28. The chosen one of the aspiring actor was photographer Sasha Zak. The couple had two children: son Sage in 1976 and his younger brother Sergio in 1978. By the way, Stallone’s sons suffered a rather tragic fate. Sage, who built a career as an actor and director, passed away in 2012 due to heart problems. The second son, Sergio, was diagnosed with autism at an early age. Since then, he has been constantly in his own world, and his famous father can do nothing to help him except pay for quality medical care.
With Brigitte Nielsen
In February 1985, Sylvester divorced his first wife. By that time, he had released the super-successful film “Rocky” and became a real star, many temptations immediately arose nearby, and the press, naturally, enthusiastically savored the adventures of the married actor. Not having time to gain freedom, Stallone went down the aisle again in December 1985. On the set of the action movie Cobra, he met the Danish model and actress Brigitte Nielsen. The lovers got married in Beverly Hills, at the house of producer Irwin Winkler. The newlyweds' happiness did not last long; divorce followed 19 months later. The couple did not have time to have children together. The actor later admitted in an interview that two unsuccessful marriages made him feel humiliated, broken and traumatized.
The beginning of the story
Stallone conquered Hollywood in 1974, after unsuccessful auditions in New York. He received critical acclaim for his role in The Lords of Flatbush before earning worldwide acclaim for his role as Rocky Balboa in the Rocky media franchise.
Stallone's relationship history can be described as a rocky road. However, it smoothed out when the actor married Jennifer Flavin. Stallone rarely leaves her out of the picture, and he always smiles when they are together.
Break by mail
Fortunately, during this difficult period in the life of the action star, sweet and devoted Jennifer appeared. They dated for about five years, the new girl often accompanied Sylvester to various events. Although the couple did not live together, Flavin often stayed overnight at the actor’s luxurious home, and then they watched movies together, cooked dinner, and walked along the beach. She introduced her boyfriend to her family, and Stallone sometimes accompanied her at family gatherings.
However, the actor did not want to give up his single life and even once stated in an interview that there were no rules or restrictions for him and Jennifer if they were not together. The girl reacted calmly to this statement. According to her, she had no illusions and did not hope to change an adult 45-year-old man.
According to others, Jennifer tried to be the ideal companion for Sylvester. However, on March 14, 1994, a messenger brought her a letter from the man she loved. On six pages, the actor explained to her in detail that from now on their paths would diverge. The girl was shocked. Recently, she was going to visit Stallone on the set of the film “The Specialist,” but then he suddenly asked her to postpone the trip. And the action hero chose a cowardly and vile way of parting, not finding the courage to have a personal meeting or even a telephone conversation.
Soon Jennifer learned about the true reasons for the breakup. Instead, model Janice Dickinson came to the set of “The Specialist” to visit Sylvester with her newborn daughter Savannah. Soon he was going to publicly recognize the child as his daughter. This blatant act of betrayal hit Flavin “like a ton of bricks.” After all, she and her boyfriend also often talked about their children together, and even managed to come up with names for them.
With Janice Dickinson
Jennifer spoke about her experiences in a long interview with People magazine two months after the breakup. She cried and was sad a lot, finding only illusory salvation in communicating with friends and working as a model. There could be no talk of reunification at that time.
Career problems after breaking up with Stallone
Stallone, with his fame and popularity, recovered quite quickly from the divorce. But for Nielsen it was different. The actress left America and settled in Europe, where she continued to build her life and career.
“When I left my husband, all doors closed for me. “I was blacklisted from Hollywood,” says Bridget. “But I speak four languages, and this gave me a chance to find a job and survive.”
30 years later, the ex-spouses reconciled after they met again on the set of the film Creed II.
“My heart was pounding,” Nielsen told People. – More than three decades have passed since I played Lyudmila Drago in Rocky IV. In 1985, I was married to Sylvester, and this time I am the ex-wife. But we got along, we are two professionals.”
Playboy Fix
With Angie Everhart
Meanwhile, Stallone and Janice Dickinson's relationship ended by July 1994. A DNA test showed that the actor was not the father of her daughter Savannah. Therefore, with a clear conscience, the Hollywood playboy continued his adventures. He dated the Austrian model Andrea Wieser, courted Cindy Crawford, and even became briefly engaged to another catwalk star, Angie Everhart.
But none of the women was able to truly hook the actor. In the summer of 1995, he managed to beg forgiveness from Jennifer. And they tried to start all over again, only now more seriously. In 1996, the couple had a daughter, Sofia. However, the child was diagnosed with a heart defect, and at 2 months the girl underwent surgery. This event brought the couple even closer together. Therefore, the wedding of Stallone and Flavin, which took place on May 17, 1997, became a completely natural event.
The marriage registration took place at The Dorchester Hotel in London, and then the newlyweds went to a church ceremony in the chapel of Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire, where Winston Churchill was born. Jennifer chose an Armani dress for her big day, and Sylvester chose a blue one instead of a traditional black or white suit. The newlyweds spent their wedding night in Blenheim and then went on their honeymoon to Ireland.
More than 20 years have passed since then. In 1998, the couple had a second daughter, Sistine, and four years later another heiress, who was named Scarlet. Today, the actor, famous for his numerous love affairs, diligently maintains the image of an exemplary husband and loving father. He admits that, unlike his signature genre - the action movie, which is saturated with testosterone, Stallone's house has long turned into a real women's kingdom, where he is surrounded by his wife, daughters, housekeepers, and dogs. But the actor even likes this family arrangement. Using the example of his wife, he became convinced that women also know how to make correct, wise decisions. He has learned to trust Jennifer completely and for the first time feels completely safe in his marriage.
Love at first sight
But Jennifer prefers to stay away from the public eye. She met Sylvester in a Hollywood restaurant. The year was 1988. At the time, she was 19 years old and trying to make a career as a model. The couple started dating. Flavin was happy with the relationship, although Sylvester had a reputation as a cheater.

The couple spent a lot of time together at Stallone's homes in Benedict Canyon and Malibu. It looked like a serious relationship, because Sylvester had previously spent a lot of time with his mother and sister Jennifer. He even admitted that he started enjoying life when he met Jennifer.
Before Stallone met Jennifer, he had been in two previous marriages where the man cheated on his wives. She married Sylvester in 1997. In 2004, Jennifer and Stallone launched the Instone line of nutritional products, which includes protein powders and weight loss products. The couple has three children.
Relationship problems
Family life lasted 6 years , but then “Rambo” took a left turn. He even got engaged to another model, and gave Jennifer two days to move out.

Flavin lasted 24 hours. Before leaving, the angry woman used scissors to shred the actor’s entire wardrobe, which consisted of 234 suits, 567 shirts and 124 pairs of shoes.
For a whole year, Stallone caroused to the fullest, but then he finally realized that only Jennifer could give him happiness. He called her and asked for forgiveness, and she agreed to give him a second chance.
