From His Parents Roots To His Multiple Marriages

Sylvester Stallone's Family: A Complex and Fascinating History

From His Parents' Roots to His Multiple Marriages

Sylvester Stallone is one of the most iconic actors in Hollywood history, but his family life is just as compelling as his on-screen persona. His parents, Frank Stallone Sr. and Kathleen Rhodes, came from diverse backgrounds: Frank was an Italian immigrant from Gioia del Colle, while Kathleen was an American from Washington, D.C. with Breton French, Ukrainian, and Jewish ancestry.

Sylvester is the only child of his parents. His father was a hairdresser, writer, and actor, while his mother was a homemaker. Stallone has been married five times and has five children. His first three marriages were to Sasha Czack, Brigitte Nielsen, and Jennifer Flavin. He had two children with Czack, Sage and Seargeoh, and three children with Flavin, Sophia, Sistine, and Scarlet.
