Sylvester Stallone is best known for playing rugged characters that face seemingly impossible obstacles. His characters are usually robust and intimidating, and in the public eye, the actor has almost become synonymous with action heroes.

Although Sylvester has had a long and successful career, his life hasn't always been without hurdles. Through the years, the actor has learned some tough lessons, many focusing on staying humble despite his impressive reputation. The actor opened up about his past, saying he wasn't always the modest man he is now.

At the height of his career, after he starred in the hit film "Rocky," Sylvester developed something of an ego. At that time, he surrounded himself with a group of security guards and drifted away from ordinary people. The actor recalled feeling sheltered and mentioned that he didn't interact with many people who weren't on his payroll.

Life as a dad suits Sylvester, who shared that he helps out around the house and has a slew of regular chores to do every day.

Luckily, he had his wife, Jennifer Flavin, around. Jennifer realized what was happening and spoke to him about it, eventually helping him stay grounded. These days, the actor is a devoted husband and father of four. He laughed, saying, "At home I'm just the nuisance with the loud voice. No one's afraid of me. The girls know I'm a toothless tiger."

What Does Sylvester Stallone Do at Home?

These days, Sylvester's life is much more down-to-earth. The actor enjoys being an involved and caring dad to his children, one son, Seargeoh Stallone, and three girls, Sophia, Sistine, and Scarlet Stallone. Sylvester's oldest son, Sage, sadly passed away at 36.

Despite Jennifer's constant support, their marriage has had some rough spots through the years.

Life as a dad suits Sylvester, who shared that he helps out around the house and has a slew of regular chores to do every day. Raising his often required him to be a typical dad, and he admitted that he dropped his girls off at school regularly, even though they asked him not to. He opened up about his daily life:

"You'd be surprised how unglamorous, or normal, my life is. My cars get flat tyres, my dogs go to the bathroom on the carpet and my shower doesn't always work."

These days, Sylvester surrounds himself with people he's not paying to be around him. He has learned the value of having regular friends who support him, and he's grateful for his wife's sage advice. He even prefers keeping his vacations intimate and has taken to leaving his staff behind when he and his family go somewhere to relax.

Did Sylvester Stallone Divorce His Wife?

Despite Jennifer's constant support, their marriage has had some rough spots through the years. In August 2022, Sylvester and Jennifer almost called it quits after 25 years together. At the time, Sylvester was going through a difficult time, and his marriage was suffering.

Luckily, they managed to work through their problems, and after a month apart, they decided to give their marriage another try. The "Expendables" star also turned his life around after the separation, claiming that the time apart made him realize just how important his family is to him. On top of that, he started investing more time in his kids.

Sylvester admitted that he wasn't the most involved father before the separation. He would often neglect some of his fatherly duties, but he's much more invested these days. He started asking them about their days and genuinely taking an interest in their lives, which had stellar results.

He shared that getting close to his daughters was tricky initially, and they didn't quite respond to his newfound interest in their lives. After a short time, though, he recalled his daughter saying she thought about him, which showed him his efforts were paying off.

In December 2022, the Stallone family showed off their family ties in a video Sylvester posted on Instagram. The actor, his wife, and two of his daughters stood in a big family embrace as the camera panned to show their animal-themed slippers. The actor cracked a few silly jokes, and his wife and daughters laughed endearingly at his shenanigans.
