Sylvester Stallone’s Wife Jennifer Flavin Files For Divorce After 25-year Of Marriage

Sylvester Stallone’s wife, Jennifer Flavin, has filed for divorce after 25 years of marriage.

The Rocky actor tied the knot with his third wife in 1997, and the pair share three children together.

Their romance was the subject of intense speculation recently after the 76-year-old covered up a tattoo tribute to Jennifer with a portrait of beloved dog Butkus, from the boxing franchise.

According to reports, she has since submitted paperwork on Friday in Florida, requesting to end their marriage.

The reason behind their split has not been confirmed. A rep shared a message with TMZ from the Expendables actor, who said: ‘I love my family. We are amicably and privately addressing these personal issues.’

The publication reports that she asked to restore her maiden name of Flavin, and requested to keep their home in Palm Beach while proceedings are ongoing.

Sylvester and Jennifer tied the knot in 1997, and recently celebrated their 25-year anniversary on social media.

‘Happy 25th anniversary to my amazing wife,’ the Expendables star said at the time.

‘There is not enough words to describe what this incredibly selfless dedicated , patient, woman has meant to our lives and I only wish they could be another 25! Thank you sweetheart! [sic].’

However, their marriage attracted scrutiny this month when Sly covered up an inking dedicated to his wife on his bicep – with a design of Butkus.

A rep later shut down any speculation, telling MailOnline: ‘Mr Stallone intended to refresh the tattoo image of his wife Jennifer however the results were unsatisfactory and, unfortunately, unfixable.

‘As a result, he had to cover the original image with a tattoo of his dog from Rocky, Butkus.

‘Mr Stallone loves his family. The Stallones are presently filming a reality show together which will debut on Paramount+.’

Sly has been married twice before – first to Sasha Czack, with the pair welcoming their sons Sage, who tragically died in 2012, and Seargeoh.

He went on to walk down the aisle with Brigitte Nielsen, and then tied the knot with Jennifer, who he shares daughters Sistine, Scarlet, and Sophia with.
