Hollywood might look big on TV and in movies, but in reality, it's a small world. It seems like everyone knows everyone in this town, especially considering the celebrities you might not have known are best friends. But one of the unforeseen connections in the industry is Sylvester Stallone's secret friendship with Fox News' chief political anchor, Bret Baier. While the two have kept it professional in interviews on camera, they have been discreetly hanging out behind the scenes. Nonetheless, tabloids have picked up on it, something Baier discussed with colleague Brian Kilmeade on his podcast, the "Brian Kilmeade Show."

Kilmeade spilled that he saw news of Baier and Stallone's dinner double-date in the New York Post during a May 2021 episode, which Baier confirmed. According to the "Special Report" host, he had only met the "Rocky" star two months prior, but the pair really hit it off. They made plans to dine with their families after their wives connected through mutual friends. "He's a really interesting guy and his wife, Jennifer, is so lovely," Baier said of Stallone. "I really enjoyed the conversation, and it was really interesting."

Over the years, Baier and Stallone have seemingly remained close. In 2025, they spent Independence Day together in the Hamptons, as seen in an Instagram photo from Baier. A photo posted on Facebook — but was originally shared on Amy Baier's Instagram story — gave a glimpse into Baier's birthday bash in August the same year. Front and center in the photo of a group dining on the beach was none other than Stallone.

Sylvester Stallone and Bret Baier have been marked by significant career highs, and they have equally shown up for each other in times of celebration. When Stallone was recognized at the Kennedy Center Honors in December 2025, Baier and his wife, Amy, were present at the ceremony. Amy even posted photos of herself, Baier, Stallone, and the actor's wife, Jennifer, from the night on Instagram, writing in the caption: "Congratulations to our friend @officialslystallone on receiving the well-deserved 2025 Kennedy Center Honor!" Sistine, one of Stallone's five children, commented four red heart emojis under Amy's post, alluding to an even closer bond between the Stallone and Baier families.

At the same time, Stallone has been an outspoken supporter of Baier's journalistic career, especially after the October 2025 release of Baier's biography on Theodore Roosevelt, titled "To Rescue the American Spirit." The "Tulsa King" actor posted a photo of himself promoting the book on Instagram, writing, "This is an amazing novel by best-selling author BRET BAIER. It's about one of the greatest men and greatest presidents in the history of this country! If you like real-life heroes and dynamic history, you must get this incredible novel! I couldn't put it down to the last page!" Now this is a slow-burn bromance we didn't see coming.
