“I’m not naïve about what may go on when I’m not around — he’s a 45-year-old man — I can’t change the way he is,” Flavin said a few years after she began dating Sylvester Stallone (via Hello!) “Still, he’s not a cheating dog every day of the week. We spend five out of seven nights together, so I don’t know where he’d find the time.”
Flavin was floored, though, when she received a “Dear Jennifer” letter in 1994. People reported that Sly didn’t bother to inform Flavin of the actual reason for the split; she had to learn that from her modeling agency. Flavin’s rep at Elite told her that Sly had been having an affair with fellow model Janice Dickinson who’d just given birth to a baby, Savannah Rodin, who the actor believed to be his child.

“It hit me like a ton of bricks,” Flavin admitted. “I had no idea this was going to happen. We talked about us having children, about when I was going to get pregnant. We were already picking names, marking down names that he liked and I liked.” US Weekly reports that after Dickinson learned the father was actually her ex-boyfriend Michael Birnbaum, Sly crawled back to Flavin with his tail between his legs. The newly reunited couple had their own daughter, Sophia Stallone, in 1996, and one year later, they said: “I do.” Two more girls followed, Sistine Stallone in 1998 and Scarlet Stallone in 2002.
