Sylvester Stallone and future wife Jennifer Flavin first linked up in the ’80s. They’re seen here at an event in 1989 — just a year after they started dating.
Their relationship would go on to be, well… rocky. They split in 1994 when Sylvester believed he was the father of model Janice Dickinson’s baby (they’d had an affair). After learning he wasn’t the dad, Sly and Jennifer started dating again in 1995, married in 1997 and went on to have three daughters together. They briefly split again in 2022 after 25 years of marriage but quickly reconciled.
