Sylvester Stallone and wife Jennifer Flavin were pictured arriving to film their reality series in Calabasas on Wednesday, amid the ongoing SAG-AFTRA Strike.
Though work has been brought to a standstill in the movie and television industry, with many films pushing back their release dates due to the delays, the Rambo star, 77, pressed on with filming his family-centered show, The Family Stallone.
The Rocky actor held hands with his wife of 25 years as they made their way down the street, ten months after they called off their divorce.
The New York native sported a grey button up with black pants and matching black shoes for the day.
Meanwhile his stylish wife, 54, looked chic as ever in a cream white dress, which she paired with strappy black heels and a black clutch.

She accessorized with a silver necklace and matching earrings.
The former model styled her honey blonde tresses in light waves for the occasion.
Jennifer wore picture perfect glam, with smokey eyeshadow and nude lipstick.
The Family Stallone centers around the Hollywood vet and his wife of nearly three decades as well as their three daughters — Sophia, 26, Sistine, 24, and Scarlet, 20.
The show premiered on Paramount+ on May 17, 2023, and was renewed for a second season on May 24, 2023.
Stallone’s decision to film comes after Hollywood actors went on strike earlier last month, when talks with studios broke down, as they joined film and television writers who have been on picket lines since May, deepening the disruption of scores of shows and movies.
For the first time in four decades, SAG-AFTRA and the WGA are both on strike demanding higher residuals, better working conditions and protection from Artificial Intelligence, which it’s feared could replace in-person actors and writers.
Actors are concerned about their images and performances being digitally altered without permission or compensation.
In recent weeks, many stars have spoken out about the paltry residuals they receive from their work on TV series, despite the fact that they draw in huge figures on streaming services.

WGA has been on strike since May 2.
Last year Sylvester and Jennifer shocked the public by announcing they were planning to divorce after 25 years of marriage.
Then, in an astonishing volte-face, it emerged that they had decided to give their marriage another try after ironing out their issues.
Late last year, after he and Jennifer reunited, Sly gave a revealing interview to the Sunday Times about how their marriage was ultimately repaired.
‘There was a reawakening of what was more valuable than anything, which is my love for my family,’ he explained. ‘It takes precedence over my work, and that was a hard lesson to learn.’
Stallone revealed that earlier in his career, he tended to place work ahead of his children, saying, ‘I didn’t pay enough attention when they were growing up.’
He said: ‘I was so career-oriented, and now I go: “OK, I don’t have that much runway up ahead, and I want to start asking them about their lives.”‘
Sly recalled: ‘I ask them about their day, and they started at first a little monosyllabic. Then I heard one say: “I was just thinking about you.” Oh my God. I’ve never heard that before in my life. When a daughter knows you care, she’s there forever.’

The reconciliation came one month after Jennifer filed for divorce.
Days prior to their reconciliation, a court filing revealed at a Palm Beach Country, Florida court revealed that the duo agreed ‘that it is in the best interests of each of them individually, and more importantly collectively as a family, to resolve all issues attendant to the dissolution of their marriage in a dignified, amicable and private manner out-of-court.’
On August 19, Jennifer filed for divorce from him, alleging that he ‘engaged in the intentional dissipation, depletion and/or waste of marital assets, which has had an adverse economic impact on the marital estates’.
The actor denied her allegations at the time.
