Sylvester Stallone assists his daughters with romantic matters by composing their separation messages.
The Rocky actor, 76, is the father of Sistine, Sophia, and Scarlet, whom he shares with his 54-year-old wife Jennifer Flavin. He also has two sons from a previous relationship with Sasha Czack.
In the new reality series The Family Stallone, the action icon reveals his life with his daughters and Jennifer, and he appears to be very hands-on.
Sistine, age 24, disclosed that they hire Sylvester when they want to break up with a boyfriend; we’re sure he administers a knockout strike.
She explained on the Giggly Squad podcast that the actor was a ‘savant’ with their dating lives, commenting: ‘In one area, he writes most of our breakup texts.’
Agreeing, Sophia, 26, added: ‘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.’
Sistine continued: ‘We’re like, “Oh, this [date] is a good egg. We’re gonna bring him home.” He is always standoffish. He stands in the corner. Doesn’t say anything. Just to intimidate.’
The daughters also revealed that Sylvester, being Rocky and all, frequently smokes a cigar while greeting their dates.
Sistine explained: ‘[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.”‘
However, she added he is ‘right every time.’
His daughters are delightfully sassy with their father in their Paramount Plus reality series, despite the fact that he reportedly wasn’t initially interested in filming the show.
‘I can’t believe you guys are actually doing a reality show…,’ Sylvester tells his daughters at one point.
Sistine, described as the ‘risk taker’ is having none of it, and hits back: ‘Who would’ve thought? You on TV, like this… You’re welcome.’
In another scene, she jokes: ‘It’s quite ironic that he’s the last person that wanted to do this reality show, yet he sees a camera and he’s like, “Am I in the frame?”’
The Family Stallone will also cast light on Sly’s marriage to Jennifer, which he ended last year after a brief separation.
The couple wed in 1997, but the model famously filed for divorce in August, putting an end to their 25-year marriage.
They were able to reconcile several weeks later and have been inseparable ever since.
The Family Stallone is available to stream on Paramount+.
