He was seen exiting the hotel by one door, she by another. Asked outside the Dorchester if he had indeed married, Stallone punched the air in joy but said nothing. Later they were reportedly sighted at Blenheim Palace near Oxford, for a blessing in the chapel of the spectacular 18th-century house and a reception. Twelve or 14 guests--and 10 bodyguards--were said to have been on hand.
Flavin is expecting their second child. One published photo showed her holding their eight-month-old daughter Sophia at the reception--the baby had surgery last October to repair a hole in her heart. Flavin, by the way, was wearing a sleeveless white dress and Stallone a blue suit and bright tie.
This would be Stallone's third marriage. He divorced Sasha Czach in 1985 after 13 years, married Brigitte Nielsen the next year and divorced her after two years of marriage.
