Sylvester Stallone had his daughters go through their own kind of ” Rocky ” training.
The “Rambo” star’s adult daughters Sistine, 25, and Sophia, 27, revealed in an interview with The New York Post that their dad hired Navy SEALs to train them before they moved to New York City in 2023 because he was so worried about them living there.
“It was the hardest,” Sistine Stallone told the news outlet. “It was about six hours we were in those woods.”
Stallone shares Sistine, Sophia and Scarlet, 21, with wife Jennifer Flavin . The actor was previously married to Sasha Czack, with whom he had two sons: Sage and Seargeoh. Sage died from heart disease in 2012.

The Navy SEAL self-defense training was filmed for the Paramount+ reality show ” The Family Stallone ” and reportedly included having Stallone’s daughters chase a chicken.
“They were the real deal,” Sistine said of the SEALs.
This doesn’t sound particularly out of step with the way Stallone’s daughters were raised. Sistine told the Post that since they were young, their dad subjected them to “these sort of military-esque, self-defense trainings,” and Sophia added that their father would put them through a “rigorous routine” every day at 6 a.m. involving “sit-ups, push-ups, pull-ups, clean and jerks.”
