The pain of losing a child is unimaginable. Sylvester Stallone experienced this tragedy in 2012 when his eldest son, Sage Stallone, passed away unexpectedly at age 36.
The initial speculation surrounding Sage’s death only deepened the heartbreak. Stallone, famed as the resilient “Rocky Balboa,” overcame a difficult childhood. Born with partial facial paralysis and raised in an abusive environment, he forged a path to stardom, culminating in the success of Rocky in 1976. In his personal life, Stallone married Sasha Czack in 1974, and they had two sons: Sage in 1976 and Seargeoh in 1979. After their divorce in 1985, Stallone remarried twice, eventually finding lasting love with Jennifer Flavin, with whom he shares three daughters.
