Sylvester Stallone's wife, Jennifer Flavin, opened up recently about their move from California to Florida.
Despite their love for California, it seems as if they just wanted new experiences, according to Fox News.
Sylvester Stallone and wife Jennifer Flavin open up about moving
She spoke about the move on Rocky Day, an inaugural event that occurred this week.
It seems like family — not politics or any rumored talk about California falling apart — was the reason.
“I was born and raised there, two of our kids were born there, but now everyone's out, our daughters moved to the East Coast…so there wasn't really anything left for me in California,” she said.
The wife of the famous Rocky star added, “A few of our best friends also moved, so I think it's [a] good change, just making new friends, living a totally different lifestyle. I love it, I'm really happy.”
Stallone opened up about the move in his recent documentary on Netflix,
“I wasn't moving because ‘Oh, wow, I wanted another beautiful view.' Any time changing that paradigm which you become used to, it's literally to jump-start that process again,” he said.
Regarding crime, his wife said, “There's crime everywhere. There's crime in Florida, too. So, I didn't move because of crime. You can find it anywhere you look, even in small towns.”
Also, she added how much she found California to be a very pretty place.
“I think California is probably the most beautiful state in the United States. I absolutely love it, but I just needed a change,” she said. “I felt like I've been there long enough, and life is short, so I wanted to make a change and not just be sitting in one house the rest of my life.”
It sounds like Sylvester Stallone and Jennifer Flavin are content with switching things up. And family is a priority for them.
