Jennifer Flavinis the wife of Sylvester Stallone Her name is as Irish as Stallone is Italian. Jennifer and Sylvester produced three wonderful All-American daughters. Hats off to all and each of them. Oh…. Wait…. How about this? Sylvester’s mom is Jaqueline Lobofish who passed away in 2020 at age 99. Her paternal grandparents, Rose (Lamlec) and Charles Labofisz, were Jewish immigrants from Odesa in the Kherson Governorate of the Russian Empire (now in Ukraine). Her mother, Jeanne Victoria Anne “Adrienne” Clerec (1901–1974),[2] was Breton.from Brest in Brittany in France….
On MAY 21, 1992 Jaqueline was on the Howard Stern Show. Jaqueline was the first woman to have a daily television show on exercise and weight lifting in Washington, D.C., and later opened a women-only gym, named Barbella’s. During her youth, Stallone was a trapeze artist in a circus and a chorus girl in a nightclub. She was also a hairdresser. She lived relatively quietly for most of her life. Even after Sylvester starred in the film Rocky in 1976, she remained unknown to the general public.
So Sylvester has Italian ancestors as well as Jewish, Ukrainian and French ancestors.
Bottom line is: Sylvester is as American as you can get in the sense that he has Ancestors born in other countries and cultures who gratefully got to our Land of Liberty.
