Sylvester Stallone returned to one of the most important spots in his career, this time with family by his side.

On Wednesday, the Rocky star and his brother, Frank Stallone, were pictured standing in front of the famous steps where Stallone's Rocky Balboa made his iconic jog during boxing training.

Sylvester's wife Jennifer Flavin was also present for the photo shoot, which included a picture of the couple kissing.

“On our way back to Florida we stopped by the steps of the [Philadelphia] Art Museum Steps, which my brother put on the map with Rocky 47 yrs ago,” Frank captioned an Instagram carousel documenting the day.

The brothers smiled together as Frank, 73, embraced his big brother in the cover image. In the second photo, the boys both held up their fists while Sylvester, 77, jokingly punched the Rambo actor’s jaw. 

Frank then reminded his followers that the stairs also were the backdrop to “a [fourth] of July concert (that he did) in 1985 for over a 100 thousand people with The Beach Boys.”

As a fun fact, he added that he used to live just across the street from the steps. 

Flavin, 55, joined in for the last couple of pictures, posing in a group shot with the brothers. In the last photo, she shared a sweet kiss with her husband. 

“Love you Frank! I love traveling with you, and never laughed harder!!🥰💙💙💙,” Flavin wrote in the comments. 

Sylvester and Flavin first met in 1988 at a restaurant in Beverly Hills, California. After several years of dating, they got married in 1997. Despite a brief breakup that almost led to divorce, the couple is still going strong.

In a May episode of the Expendables star’s reality series The Family Stallone, he recalled what it was like the first time he laid eyes on Flavin.

“I remember vividly the first time I met Jennifer,” he said. “I was in this dark restaurant, a few people. She came in and, whoa! Something happened. I just felt, like, this jolt, like — 'Oh, did we just have a minor earthquake or something?' "

“We just hit it off, it was crazy. We were inseparable all night,” his longtime lover added.

After briefly taking a few lighthearted jabs about the vehicle Flavin arrived in that evening, he continued, “Things, as they say, happen when you least expect it. Nobody knows what life is going to bring. And then 35 years later, you look at your beautiful family and you realize, you’re the luckiest son of a b---- in the world.”

Sylvester has five kids: sons Sage and Seargeoh from his first marriage with actress Sasha Czack, and daughters Sophia, 27, Sistine, 25, and Scarlet, 21, with Flavin. Sage died in July 2012 of heart disease.

“My greatest joy in life is being a mom and her being the last to move out, it’s really, really difficult for me and I’m having a really hard time,” the former model told the cameras.

While talking to her older children, she added, "I just have to figure out who I am now because I don’t really know what I like to do because all I like to do is be your mom.”

"Happy birthday to my incredible wife, Jennifer!!!" Sylvester captioned the Aug. 15 post, which showed Flavin smiling while holding a furry friend.
