Despite being a publicly devoted dad to his three daughters, Sylvester Stallone has expressed remorse for not always being there for his children. In particular, he has spoken publicly about being an absent father to his two older sons, Seargeoh and the late Sage Stallone, along with his daughters. "I didn't pay enough attention when they were growing up," he reflected to The Times in 2022. "I was so career-oriented, and now I'm like, 'Okay, I don't have that much runway in front of me, and I want to start asking them about their lives.' I ask them about their day, and they started out a little monosyllabic at first, then I heard someone say, 'I was just thinking about you.' Oh my God. I've never heard that in my life."

Sylvester has even incorporated some of his relationship issues with his children, particularly his son, Sage, into his work. In "Rocky V," Sage starred as the title character's son who is struggling with his father not being there for him. As previously mentioned, Sage tragically lost his life to coronary artery disease in 2012 at age 36. "I try to take something that actually is what I wish I had done in real life, but I wasn't able to do that in reality," Sylvester described of "Rocky V" in the Netflix documentary "Sly." "And so quite often I would do it theatrically, magically. ... A lot of that is true. Unfortunately, you put things before your family. And the repercussions are quite radical and devastating."
