Hollywood icon Sylvester Stallone announced during the premiere of “The Family Stallone” Season 2 that he and his family are permanently leaving their longtime home in California for Florida.

Stallone revealed the decision to his daughters, stating they had already purchased a new home in Florida.

Sylvester Stallone said, “After long, hard consideration, your mother and I have decided it’s time to move on and leave the state of California permanently, and we’re going to go to Florida. We’re gonna sell this house.”

“It’s not a joke at all. We already have the place. It’s a done deal,” he explained.

The move from liberal California to Florida was a surprise but provided a change of scenery that Stallone said helps reinvigorate his creative process.

His wife Jennifer Flavin explained they wanted a change as their daughters had moved away and friends had also left California.

Flavin, said, “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.”

“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,” she celebrated.

Stallone said, “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.”

“I think California is probably the most beautiful state in the United States, I absolutely love it, but I just needed a change,” said Flavin.

Adding, “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.”

Their new $35 million Palm Beach estate reflects a desire for a fresh start and different lifestyle.

The high-profile move is part of a trend of celebrities leaving California for various reasons.
