Sylvester Stallone, the 77-year-old star known for his role in “Rocky,” adopted a unique safety measure for his daughters by equipping his middle child, Sistine, with a knife for self-defense during her school years. This was part of broader life-saving tactics he taught his daughters, including the use of pepper spray. Sistine, now 25, shared on “The Family Stone” reality show’s season two premiere how Stallone had her and her siblings practice self-defense from a young age, even including a knife in her backpack in fourth grade.
Sistine humorously mentioned the impact of these lessons on her dating life and shared an anecdote about almost dating a self-defense class trainer, who later contacted her via Instagram but wasn’t interested due to differing preferences.
The Stallone family, including Sylvester’s wife Jennifer Flavin, 55, has decided to relocate permanently to Palm Beach, Florida, to be closer to their youngest daughter, Scarlet, 21, who attends the University of Miami. Stallone expressed that this move, leaving California behind, is a significant change driven by the desire for adventure and adapting to their “empty nest” status.
Sylvester Stallone, besides his daughters with Jennifer, has two sons from his previous marriage to Sasha Czack: Seargeoh, 44, and the late Sage, who passed away in 2012 due to coronary artery disease at the age of 36.
