Sylvester Stallone is giving fans a glimpse inside his Florida home.
In a recent interview for the September/October issue of Veranda, Stallone and his wife Jennifer Flavin shared how they knew they had found the perfect Palm Beach estate.
“We looked at some of the houses built after COVID, and they were monstrosities,” Stallone said. “Monumental structures, but none of them embraced you or made you feel warm. You felt as though you were in a hotel lobby.”
After searching for some time, the couple discovered a home in Palm Beach with high ceilings and oversized windows, built in 2014.
Flavin said what sealed the deal for her was the home’s “livable size.” Stallone agreed, noting, “It doesn’t have eight living rooms for no reason.” From the moment they stepped inside, the house “automatically felt inviting,” a quality both considered essential.
“I’ve always made every house we’ve ever had a home,” Flavin added. “I don’t care if someone spills something. I can replace the rug or get it cleaned. We have three dogs and a cat and lots of children. Nothing we own is precious. Our family is precious, but the material things are not.”
According to the home’s designer, Martyn Lawrence Bullard, it’s the only residence in Palm Beach with its own private beach.
Beyond the beach, the estate features a theater room adorned with memorabilia from Stallone’s iconic films, including a knife from First Blood, the robe he wore in Rocky, and the original Academy Award–nominated screenplay he wrote for Rocky.
“The screening room definitely has a theme,” Stallone said. “It’s about where I came from.”
Elsewhere in the home, there’s a gym, a luxurious primary suite, a keyhole-shaped swimming pool set in the center of a manicured lawn, a bar, and walls adorned with Stallone’s extensive art collection.
One room features portraits of Stallone from Rocky III by renowned artist Andy Warhol, while other rooms display artwork by LeRoy Neiman, who famously traded paintings for a role as the ring announcer in the Rocky films.
“I consider it like a wardrobe,” Stallone said of his collection. “You can only wear the same shirt so many times before you go, ‘God, I’d like to see if this other color works [with it].’ With art, you can take a piece that you’ve become… maybe not blasé about, but you’re not exactly overwhelmed by it anymore. You move that piece to another room, and suddenly you’re reinvigorated. It’s like furniture: moving it around constantly restimulates our minds.”
Stallone and Flavin revealed their plans to leave Los Angeles for Florida during the season 2 premiere of their reality show, The Family Stallone, in February 2024.
“After long, hard consideration, your mother and I have decided it’s time to move on and leave the state of California permanently,” he told their daughters Scarlet, Sistine, and Sophia. “And, we’re going to Florida.”
Flavin added that their home now feels like “an empty nest” and that she was ready for a change.
In a confessional, Stallone admitted, “It’s not an easy transition to Florida,” but it was something his wife “really had her heart set on,” and he eventually “gave in.”
Before starring in their reality show, Flavin and Stallone were reportedly on the brink of divorce. Flavin filed for divorce from the Rambo star in August 2022, after 25 years of marriage.
However, the couple reconciled and were seen out together shortly afterward
