AceShowbiz - Sylvester Stallone has learned to put his family first after calling off his divorce. The 76-year-old Hollywood legend was joined by his wife Jennifer Flavin and their eldest girls at the premiere of Paramount+ show "Tulsa King" on Wednesday night, November 9, three months after she filed for divorce in August after 25 years of marriage before the couple - who have daughters Scarlet, 20, Sistine, 24, and Sophia, 26, together - eventually reconciled their relationship.
"I used to have my priorities all screwed up, you know, work came first, and eventually, I came out of that delusional thinking, and they come first. So, you're right, to actually have them here, that's what it's all about," he told Entertainment Tonight.
Despite the family being in a better place now, the couple's marriage troubles will be a prominent part of their upcoming reality show. He previously said, "Of course it's part of the show. It's the John Lennon thing, 'Life is what happens when you're making other plans.' "
"Hopefully, you're involved with people who understand the foibles of life and the fragility of it and how rare a real good relationship is. Sometimes I put the work ahead of [my family], and that is a tragic mistake which won't happen again."
Meanwhile, Stallone described the project as "the ultimate home movie." He explained, "This is a chance where I'm going to be with my kids under a work condition where they get to see me in action and I get to see them in action. What you will see is the real truth. This is a great opportunity."
"I don't look at it as stooping to conquer. But each time you go in a different direction, people go, 'Oh God, you must be in trouble.' Just the opposite."
