Renowned actor Sylvester Stallone, known for his roles as a tough guy on screen, proves he’s just as protective off-screen, especially when it comes to his family. With five children—sons Sage and Seargeoh, and daughters Sophia, Sistine, and Scarlet—Stallone takes his role as a father seriously.
His dedication to ensuring his daughters’ safety was particularly evident when Sophia, 27, and Sistine, 25, made the move to New York City. Aware of the potential risks of urban living, Sylvester Stallone took proactive steps to prepare his daughters, enlisting the expertise of Navy SEALs to provide them with self-defense training.
In a recent interview with the New York Post, Sophia and Sistine shed light on the intense experience. While the footage showcased on their reality show, “The Family Stallone,” might have appeared lighthearted, the training itself was anything but easy. Sistine described it as “the hardest thing,” recounting hours spent in rigorous training sessions in the woods.

Reflecting on their upbringing, Sophia and Sistine recalled a childhood filled with military-style self-defense exercises orchestrated by their father. These routines included early morning starts, unconventional breakfast combinations, and a regimen of physical activities ranging from sit-ups to golfing.
One memorable scene from their training involved a nod to Stallone’s iconic “Rocky” character, as the sisters were tasked with chasing a chicken. Despite their initial confidence, they soon discovered the challenge was far from trivial, with Sistine humorously admitting defeat to the agile poultry.
When asked if Stallone’s nerves had eased since their relocation to New York, Sistine admitted that her father remained ever-vigilant, embodying the quintessential overprotective dad. Even Scarlet, currently attending the University of Miami, affirmed Stallone’s unwavering commitment to their safety.
However, Sylvester Stallone finds some solace in technology, as their mother, Jennifer Flavin, utilizes location-tracking apps to ensure their well-being, bridging the physical distance between them.
In essence, Stallone’s proactive approach to his daughters’ safety exemplifies his unwavering dedication to fatherhood, leaving no stone unturned in his quest to protect his family, both on and off the screen.
