Sylvester Stallone marries actress Jennifer Flavin in London in 1997.
In 1995, Flavin reunited with Stallone. On May 17, 1997, they were married in a civil ceremony at The Dorchester Hotel in London, followed by a chapel wedding at Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire. They have three children. To commemorate the occasion, the 74-year-old Rocky star shared a photo of the couple smirking at the camera on Instagram this morning. The couple's marriage has not been perfect for almost two decades, with their relationship at times being "rocky." Stallone and Flavin first met in 1988, when he was at the pinnacle of his Hollywood career and was known as a bit of a jerk.
