Although marriages in Hollywood are less likely to last longer than two decades, it is not
unheard of for them to do so.
After celebrating their silver wedding anniversary earlier this year, Sylvester Stallone and
Jennifer Stallone have decided to end their marriage.
Despite speculations to the contrary, Sylvester has spoken out about his marriage's current
condition.
Stay tuned as we bring you all the latest information surrounding why Stallone's wife
left him.
It has been confirmed exclusively by Closer that on August 19, Jennifer Stallone (née
Flavin) filed for divorce from Sylvester Stallone.
It's been a long and happy marriage, but after 25 years, the couple has decided to separate.
When asked about the situation, Sylvester responded through his representative, saying
they are resolving these personal matters calmly and confidentially.
He also added that his family is the most important thing in his life.
Jennifer, aged 54, has submitted documents to authorities in Palm Beach County.
Based on court documents obtained by Closer, she stated that "the marriage between the
parties is irretrievably broken" as the grounds for the divorce.
Jennifer wants to legally change her name back to Jennifer Lee Flavin.
After being married for 25 years, she is now requesting an “equitable distribution" of
certain assets and liabilities.
In 1988, Sly and Jennifer crossed paths.
The New York native had already become a Hollywood legend because of his roles in Rocky and First
Blood.
After brief marriages to Sasha Czack (1975-1977) and Brigitte Nielsen (1985-1987), he was twice
divorced (1974-1985).
Furthermore, his prior marriage had already produced two kids for him to raise: Sage and
Seargeoh.
Sophia Rose Stallone, the couple's first child, was born in 1996 after the two had been dating
on and off since their initial meeting.
The following year Sly and Jennifer were married.
Sistine Rose Stallone, a daughter, was born to them in 1998.
Scarlet Rose Stallone is the couple's third child, and she was born in 2002.
In May, Sylvester and Jennifer celebrated their silver wedding anniversary, and there
seemed to be no hints of strife in paradise in his romantic Instagram tribute to Jennifer.
"Happy 25th anniversary to my amazing wife.
There are 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!"
Sly also posted a series of photographs documenting his relationship with Jennifer.
The lawsuit came just five days after Sylvester, 76, fueled divorce speculation.
Sly was seen getting a tattoo of a bullmastiff on Tuesday, August 23, perhaps to hide the
image of Jennifer's face that was previously on the upper part of his right arm.
In an upload shared to Sly's official Instagram page on August 14, it was possible to see
the original Jennifer's face tattoo on the upper arm of The Expendables star.
Previously, the model's face was depicted in the center of a design that also included
foliage and floral motifs.
Sylvester's representative claimed that Mr. Stallone planned to update the tattoo image
of his wife Jennifer, but the results were unpleasant and, sadly, unfixable.
So, he covered up the original with a tattoo of Butkus, Rocky's dog, adding that Mr. Stallone
is devoted to his loved ones.
According to reports, Jennifer Flavin, model, and wife of Sylvester Stallone, filed for
divorce because the couple couldn't agree on whether or not to adopt a new puppy.
TMZ claims that earlier this summer, the pair had a furious disagreement because Stallone
desired to adopt a Rottweiler to guard the family, and Jennifer was against the idea.
This reportedly brought up a lot of other difficulties between the couple.
According to TMZ's sources, however, none of those problems were deal-breakers for the
couple's marriage.
In any case, Stallone persisted, and he eventually got a Rottweiler.
Dwight, like Stallone's character in the forthcoming Paramount+ crime thriller series Tulsa King,
is the name of the dog.
Despite claims from insiders that they couldn't, the actor appears to be fully embracing his
new role as a dog dad now that the divorce proceedings have begun.
Sylvester Stallone has been vocal about his affinity for dogs for decades, and in 2017,
he shared a throwback photo of him with his dog Butkus.
When the shot was taken in 1971, Stallone and the dog were both skinny and hungry, and
they were squatting over a subway station.
In the statement, he admitted that there was a time when he had to trade his dog for $40
in order to put food on the table.
Later, when he had more money thanks to the sale of the Rocky screenplay, he attempted
to get the dog back, but the new owner, sensing his desperation, asked for $15,000.
After some persuasion, he gave in and said he was well worth the cost.

In addition, Jennifer left a mysterious hint on her Instagram concerning the state of her
union with Sly.
She posted an Instagram photo of herself and the three children she shares with the Rambo
actor on August 10 with the caption, "Nothing else in the world is more important to me
than these girls.
The Four of Us Forever" She accompanied the image with the hashtags "#truth", "family"
and "forever".
Interestingly, Jennifer does not follow her estranged spouse on Instagram.
It has also been rumored that a reality show starring the Stallones is now in production
amid the divorce and will air on Paramount+.
Contrary to rumors making the rounds, Sylvester Stallone and Jennifer Flavin's troubled marriage
began long before she filed for divorce from him last week in Palm Beach, Florida, after
25 years of marriage.
It was reported in People magazine that the problems between Jennifer and Stallone, who
tied the knot in London in 1997, had been going on for years.
A source close to the situation indicated that there was no single factor that led her
to seek a divorce.
For years, they've had a lot of problems, and she finally reached her breaking point.
Jennifer decided to end the relationship because he was tired of the couple's constant bickering.
Jen believes that their differences are irreconcilable.
A close relative claimed they'd been unhappy for a while and had discussed waiting till
the kids were older to legally split.
Sylvester Stallone has spoken up about the reasons for his divorce from Jennifer Flavin
and has dismissed rumors that a fight over the couple's dog was at the root of their
separation.
The Rocky star told TMZ on Wednesday, August 24, that he and Jennifer did not see eye to
eye on the maintenance of the puppy but that they did not break their relationship over
such a small issue.
The Creed star continued, saying that he and his ex-wife, a fashion model, had just grown
apart after their 25-year marriage.
According to Sly, his love and admiration for Jennifer will never fade.
He continued by saying that she was the nicest person he had ever met and an incredible person
in her own right.
Jennifer Flavin filed for divorce from her husband of 25 years, Rocky actor Sylvester
Stallone, on August 19.
In the petition, she claims that Stallone, now 76, has intentionally dissipated, depleted,
and/or wasted marital assets, which has had a negative financial impact on the marital
estate.
Specifically, the claim is that one of the spouses engaged in wasteful or excessive spending
or borrowing, both of which are grounds for divorce in Florida.
Jennifer asks that her husband be prevented from selling, transferring, assigning, encumbering,
or otherwise dissipating any assets while this case is pending.
She further claims that the marital assets should be divided unequally in her favor due
to Stallone's excessive spending.
It is estimated that the couple's wealth, which includes some very expensive real properties,
is in the hundreds of millions of dollars.
According to the filings, in 2020, Sylvester and Sylvia Stallone spent $35 million for
a mansion in Palm Beach, Florida, which they used as their principal residence.
The beachfront property, as reported by the Palm Beach Daily News, consists of the main
house with two stories, a guest house, and over 13,000 square feet of living area.
Jennifer claims in her divorce petition that she and her husband own two homes in California,
but she wants sole use and custody of the marital property because she believes it is
in their best interests.
The Los Angeles Times reports that they sold their 21,000 square foot Beverly Park mansion,
which had eight bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a two-story foyer, for $80 million just six
months ago.
Despite this, the buyer, Adele, nonetheless shelled out an eye-popping $58 million for
the property.
Stallone has been a successful producer, director, and actor for quite some time, while Jennifer
is a successful businessman and former model who has made a fortune on the side.
Variety recently published an article about television actor pay, which said that Stallone
was making somewhere about $1 million each episode of his next Paramount+ project Tulsa
King, which is currently shooting in Oklahoma.
He has been earning millions of dollars a year for decades as the lead in blockbuster
films like Rocky and Cliffhanger.
The New York Times reports that he made $3.5 million on the release of the first Rambo
film, First Blood, 40 years ago.
Since then, his price has skyrocketed due to his success as a producer on blockbuster
movies like 2015's Creed.
his newest film, Samaritan, which was on Friday, August 26, is currently streaming on Amazon
Prime Video.
Jennifer has also achieved success in the cosmetics industry since she established Serious
Skincare in 1995.
Her product brand, which has been marketed on both HSN and Evine Live, reportedly surpassed
$2 billion in sales in 2019.
Jennifer told PEOPLE exclusively on Wednesday that she is filing for divorce from husband
Sylvester Stallone after 25 years of marriage.
Despite the end of her marriage, she says they will always treasure the more than 30
years they've spent together and will always be devoted to their two lovely girls.
Further, she requested discretion for her family while they make a mutually beneficial
transition.
