Serious Skincare
Frustrated by her acne and wan-looking complexion, Flavin was inspired to get into the business of creating effective, natural skincare. After networking with a range of biochemists, bioengineers, and skincare experts, she co-founded the brand Serious Skincare. The brand went on to become the longest-running anti-aging product in the history of the Home Shopping Network, generating more than $2 billion in sales. The company's science-based skincare is based on the potency of glycolic acid, which removes dead skin cells without damaging the protective barrier. Serious Skincare seeks to stimulate collagen, reduce wrinkles, and create a soft, dewy, and even-toned complexion.
Relationship with Sylvester Stallone
Flavin first met actor Sylvester Stallone in 1988 at a restaurant in Beverly Hills, California. The couple dated until 1994, when Stallone notified Flavin that he had been having an affair with model Janice Dickinson, and believed he was the father of her newly born daughter. However, DNA tests revealed that he was not in fact the father. Stallone and Flavin subsequently got back together in 1995, and later married in a civil ceremony in London in 1997. They had three daughters together, including actress and model Sistine Stallone, who was born in 1998.
Following 25 years of marriage, Flavin filed for divorce from Stallone in August of 2022. She claimed he was hiding marital assets. During the legal proceedings, she requested exclusive domain over the couple's home in Palm Beach, Florida. The two ultimately reconciled.
Real Estate
In January 2010, Sylvester and Jennifer paid $4.5 million for a vacation retreat in La Quinta, California. They attempted to sell this house a number of times starting in 2014. By 2016 they had even reduced the price to $3.625 million, but still did not find a buyer. They finally sold this home in May 2020 for $3.1 million.
In December 2020 they paid $35.4 million for a 1.5-acre property with 13,000 square-foot mansion in Palm Beach, Florida. The sellers of the property cleared nearly $10 million in profits from the sale, having acquired the property in 2018 for $26 million.
For much of their marriage, Jennifer and Sylvester lived in the gated community of Beverly Park, high atop Beverly Hills. In December 2021 they sold this home to Adele for $58 million. At the time it was the highest price ever paid for a home in Beverly Park.
