Sylvester Stallone calls himself a ‘coward’ for sending breakup letter through Fed Ex postal service
Sylvester Stallone has addressed his attempt at breaking up with his then-girlfriend and now-wife Jennifer Flavin in a breakup letter sent via postal service FedEx.
On the inaugural episode of Fox’s new show Sean, with host Sean Hannity, the superstar confirmed that back in 1994, he had sent Flavin the letter breaking off their relationship after they dated for six years.

Thirty years on, he explained and admonished his past behaviour.
“That’s the most insincere breakup you can get,” he said, calling himself a “coward” for the act.
“You put it down in words ’cause you don’t have the guts to do it face to face,” he said, adding that he believed he sent the letter because “a part of me didn’t want to” break up with Flavin.

He added that his ”history with relationships” was “an abomination,” particularly due to his rough family upbringing.
Now 62, he says that he ”couldn’t live without” Flavin.
“I mean she is my everything. My sun and my moon. Everything,” he said.

Stallone had ended his relationship with Flavin via a six-page hand-written letter delivered via FedEx in 1994. Flavin has described the letter as “sloppy”.
“You can’t just write somebody off in a letter after six years. It’s not like I was going to try to beg him to come back to me or anything. I just wanted to talk,” she told People about the letter.
The Rambo star had been having an affair with model Janice Dickinson, who gave birth to a daughter in February 1994 that he believed to be his child.

DNA tests concluded that Stallone was not the father of Dickinson’s daughter, and their relationship ended. Flavin and Stallone reconciled a year later and wed in 1997.
Prior to their split, Flavin and Stallone spent five of the seven days in a week together.
Although they were together almost every day of the week, Flavin knew Stallone had a history of extra-marital affairs.

Per People, Flavin said at the time: “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.”
“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,” she said.
Stallone and Flavin have three daughters: Sophia Rose (born in 1996), Sistine Rose (born in 1998), and Scarlet Rose (born in 2002).
