Savannah has been privileged to a life of luxury from early on. Her mother, a judge on the reality TV show "America's Next Top Model," took her daughter backstage at a Louis Vuitton fashion show. At the same time, she was still an infant—Such is the exclusivity of life as a supermodel's child.

Savannah's mother paid close attention to her children when they were growing up. She was driven by the desire to be a better parent than her own. She put her career on hold to focus on her preferred role as a full-time mother. She said:

"'I will be a better parent than my parents ever were,' I promised myself, over and over. Of course, that wouldn't be too hard. A rabid dog would have been a better parent than my father."

Savannah Didn't Know Who Her Father Was until She Was 7

Savannah's birth was nothing short of dramatic. Her mother was legally single, and although dating film producer Micheal Birnbaum—Janice was receptive to the attention of other personalities in Hollywood.

When she got pregnant with Savannah, Janice was involved with three people: Micheal, an unnamed artist, and actor Sylvester Stallone who had separated from his model fiancée of five years, Jennifer Flavin, through a note delivered by FedEx. The decision was based on the prospect of a relationship with the supermodel.

When Janice gave birth to Savannah, it became public knowledge that her then-fiance of six months, Sylvester, was the father. However, a DNA test revealed that the child was, in fact, Micheal's.

Janice broke up with Micheal in the week that she was crucially intimate with her two sidemen. When the DNA results proved that Sylvester was not the father, he dished out the same fate to the supermodel—ending their engagement just six weeks after the birth.

After peacefully removing himself from Janice's life, Sylvester rekindled with his ex-fiancée, Jennifer, the following year. They married in '97 and had three daughters: Sophia, Sistine, and Scarlet.

At the time, Janice was sure that her newborn was Sylvesters, so much so that she gave the child the "Rocky" protagonist's Lastname. Savannah revealed via Instagram that she had only met her father aged seven and credits him for initiating her Kobe Bryant fandom.
