Sylvester Stallone Reflects on Regretful 1994 Breakup with Jennifer Flavin

The actor admits to a 'cowardly' decision to end their six-year relationship via a FedEx letter, attributing it to his troubled upbringing and poor communication skills.

Sylvester Stallone, 78, described himself as a 'coward' for breaking up with Jennifer Flavin in 1994 through a six-page handwritten letter sent via FedEx.
He revealed during an interview with Sean Hannity on Fox Nation that he avoided an in-person breakup because he was unsure about ending the relationship and feared confrontation.
Stallone attributed his poor handling of relationships to his difficult childhood in a dysfunctional family, which he says affected his emotional communication skills.
The breakup occurred during Stallone’s affair with model Janice Dickinson, who initially believed he was the father of her child until a DNA test proved otherwise.
Stallone and Flavin reconciled in 1995, married in 1997, and have since celebrated 27 years of marriage, overcoming challenges including a brief divorce filing in 2022.
