The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows.
That’s what Sylvester Stallone learned when his wife of 25 years, Jennifer Flavin, filed for divorce from the actor in August 2022.
The estranged pair share three daughters: Sophia, Sistine and Scarlet.
He also shares two sons — Sage and Seargeoh — with first wife Sasha Czack, to whom he was married from 1974 to 1985.
The “Rocky” actor was also married to Brigitte Nielsen from 1985 to 1987, though they don’t share any children.
Here is a look at all five of Stallone’s grown kids.
Sage Moonblood Stallone
Stallone and Czack welcomed their first child, son Sage, on May 5, 1976.
Sage graduated from Montclair College Preparatory School California in 1993, and then followed in his father’s footsteps by studying film for a year at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts.
The eldest child of Stallone was an actor, film director, producer,and co-founder of Grindhouse Releasing. He made his acting debut alongside his father in “Rocky V” in 1990.
But Stallone and Czack, who divorced in 1985, were left heartbroken when Sage died of a heart attack in August 2012 at the age of 36.
Stallone opened up about losing his son in an interview with NBC’s “Today,” calling the tragedy a “reality of life.”
“It’s tough, I mean, it’s very, very tough,” Stallone said at the time.
Seargeoh Stallone
Stallone and Czack welcomed their second child together, son Seargeoh, in 1979.
When he was 3 years old, Seargeoh was diagnosed with autism.
He has lived a relatively quiet life outside of the spotlight, but his parents were inspired to start a research fund under the National Society for Children and Adults with Autism.
In 1985, Stallone and Czack established a research fund administered under the National Society for Children and Adults With Autism.
“Sasha does the hard, in-the-trenches warfare,” Stallone told People in a cover story that year. “I use my films to have premieres that raise money for the fund.”
Sophia Rose Stallone
Stallone and Flavin welcomed their first child together, daughter Sophia, on Aug. 27, 1996. The couple wed the following year, in 1998
Sophia was born with a congenital malformation of her heart valve so she underwent surgery to correct the issue when she was just 2 months old and again in 2012.
She went on to attend the University of Southern California where she earned a degree in fashion and has since launched a podcast with her sister Sistine, called “Unwaxed.”
She also runs a book club account called Favorite Book Club and boasts 1.5 million followers on Instagram.
In a 2012 interview, her mom shared that out of all three of their daughters, Sophia was most similar to the “Rambo” actor.
“They have a very special bond, they think alike and even have the same gestures,” Flavin told Paris Match at the time, adding, “Sophia is the love of his life.”
Sistine Rose Stallone
Two years later, Flavin and Stallone welcomed their second daughter, Sistine Rose, on June 27, 1998.
In 2018, she also attended the University of Southern California where she pursued a degree in communications.
Sistine then followed in her mother’s footsteps and became a model, signing on with IMG Models in 2016. She made her modeling debut in a fashion show for Chanel and has also been on the cover of Glamour in 2016 and Elle Russia a year later.
But she doesn’t just take after her mom. Sistine also became an actress, just like her dad, and starred as Nicole in the 2019 survival horror film “47 Meters Down: Uncaged.” She also starred in “Midnight in the Switchgrass” alongside Bruce Willis, Megan Fox, and Machine Gun Kelly in 2021.
Sistine hosts the “Unwaxed” podcast with her sister Sophia and has a staggering 1.6 million followers on Instagram.
Her father is clearly very close with her as he celebrated her 24th birthday in June 2022 with a sweet post.
“A very very happy birthday to our amazing SISTINE!” he captioned a series of photos of his daughter at the time. “Every day with you has been like Christmas. The greatest gift! @sistinestallone.”
And the feeling seems mutual, as she responded, “I love you dad!!!!❤️❤️❤️.”
Scarlet Rose Stallone
Scarlet Rose is the youngest daughter of Stallone and Flavin. They welcomed Scarlet on May 25, 2002.
Stallone is very proud of the young woman Scarlet has grown up to be. He took to social media to celebrate her graduation from high school in July 2021.
“Congratulations on graduating high school to our wonderful daughter SCARLET!” Stallone captioned a series of Instagram snaps of the graduate with her sisters at the time.
Stallone also gushed over his youngest while celebrating her birthday last year.
“you are talented , humble and Generous to all. We love you beyond words. @scarletstallone” he wrote.
