Why He Left Los Angeles

After years of living in Los Angeles, Stallone decided it was time for him and his wife of 28 years, Jennifer Flavin, to relocate to Florida. Last year, he spoke about what made him choose the Sunshine State as his next destination.

“First of all, the air seems to always be clean. We’re very, very near the water and that makes my wife incredibly happy,” he told Fox News Digital. “It makes me happy, and it’s just something about it. It’s just so lush.”

Stallone continued, saying the area may be 3000 miles away from Los Angeles, but it just works better for him and his family.

“I went to college there for a couple of years. So, I’m not a stranger to the environment, but it fits my personality much better,” he said.

Stallone Wasn’t Thrilled With Leaving California at First

Originally, the idea of leaving California was a tough nut to swallow. The couple raised their three daughters in California.

“It’s not easy for me to leave California. That’s where I got my start, that’s where I got my break,” Stallone shared on the family’s reality show in 2024, PEOPLE reported. “We have a lot of roots in California, so it’s not an easy transition to Florida. But Jennifer really had her heart set on it. I gave in.”

But Flavin was ready to take on a new pursuit, so Stallone eventually went along with it.
