Sylvester Stallone’s mother Jackie has reportedly died aged 98

Jackie Stallone, the famous mother of Rocky star Sylvester Stallone, has reportedly passed away at the age of 98, according to multiple reports out of the US.

US showbiz site TMZ first reported the news on Tuesday, however the circumstances surrounding the famed astrologer’s death are still unclear. She is survived by her husband Stephen Marcus Levine, two sons Sly, 74, and singer Frank Stallone, 70. However her daughter Toni D’Alto sadly passed away in 2012.

Jackie enjoyed a career as an astrologer and is credited with coining the phrase ‘rumpology’ which refers to reading other parts of the anatomy, specifically the buttocks, in a manner similar to palm readings. She is also renowned for being a former dancer and even worked as a women’s wrestling promoter.

In recent years she also enjoyed a resurgence in popularity and established herself as a star in her own right, having appeared on reality TV shows such as Celebrity Big Brother in the United Kingdom, where she clashed with former daughter-in-law Brigitte Nielsen, who was also a contestant. She was also known for her penchant for plastic surgery.

Following the news, which the Stallone family are yet to confirm, many fans took to Instagram to leave messages of condolence and pay tribute to the matriarch.
