Sylvester Stallone Celebrates Wife Jennifer Flavin’s 57th Birthday with Heartfelt Tribute

Sylvester Stallone is honoring his wife, Jennifer Flavin, with a touching message of gratitude and love on her 57th birthday.

On Thursday, Aug. 14, the Rocky star, 79, marked the occasion by sharing a series of photos on Instagram — including nostalgic throwbacks of the couple through the years and a lighthearted recent shot of the pair sporting quirky sunglasses, with Flavin flashing a peace sign.

“Happy birthday to my amazing wife @jenniferflavinstallone ❤️ myself and my daughters thank you for making such a beautiful life for us!!” Stallone wrote in the caption, a message that highlighted both his admiration and the couple’s enduring bond.

A Love Story with Highs and Lows

Stallone and Flavin’s romance began in 1988 when they met by chance at a restaurant in West Hollywood. Their relationship weathered turbulence in the 1990s — including a split after Stallone admitted to an affair with model Janice Dickinson — but they reconciled a year later. In 1997, they tied the knot in a lavish London ceremony, cementing what has since become one of Hollywood’s longest-standing marriages.

The couple faced another public test in August 2022, when Flavin filed for divorce after 25 years of marriage. Just a month later, however, they reconciled, with Stallone later admitting the separation had been a “wake-up call” that reaffirmed the importance of family.

A Family Celebration

Stallone’s Instagram tribute was joined by heartfelt messages from the couple’s three daughters: Sophia, 28, Sistine, 27, and Scarlet, 23.

On her Instagram Stories, Sistine shared childhood throwback photos with the caption: “Happy birthday mom!!! ❤️ I love love love u ❤️” and praised Flavin as “the best mom in the whole world.” Sophia called her mother “beautiful” in a sweet message, while Scarlet posted a photo of herself hugging Flavin, writing: “I am so lucky to have such a strong, loving mom, my biggest inspiration and someone I’ll always look up to 💘 🌞.”

Flavin herself recently celebrated Stallone’s 79th birthday on July 6, writing on Instagram: “Happy Birthday my love!!!🎉🎂🍰❤️❤️❤️ Every year is a blessing that we get to celebrate you and our beautiful family we created! I love you!❤️❤️❤️”

Life in the Spotlight

Beyond their public declarations of love, the Stallones have given fans an inside look at their family dynamic through The Family Stallone, a reality series that aired for two seasons on Paramount+ in 2023 and 2024.

Meanwhile, Stallone continues to stay busy on screen. In 2024, he starred in the second season of his Paramount+ series Tulsa King and headlined the spy thriller Alarum. Flavin, a former model and successful entrepreneur, has stood alongside her husband through his career’s many evolutions, from action icon to devoted family man.

A Lasting Partnership

Stallone’s birthday message to Flavin underscored the resilience of their marriage and their shared commitment to family. From Hollywood premieres to quiet moments captured on social media, the couple’s relationship has endured the highs and lows of fame.

As Stallone put it simply in his tribute: together, they have built “a beautiful life.”
