Citing Excessive Spending, Jennifer Flavin Files For Divorce From Sylvester Stallone After 25 Years

Jennifer Flavin is reportedly seeking a divorce from her husband of 25 years, the actor Sylvester Stallone.

Flavin and Stallone first had an eight-year relationship until 1994 when the Rocky star told her he was having an affair with model Janice Dickinson. They later reconciled and married in 1997, but Flavin filed for divorce from Stallone in the state of Florida last week.

Flavin’s court docs reportedly said the marriage was “irretrievably broken,” and also made more serious allegations against Stallone than initial reports that they separated over an argument regarding adopting a rottweiler.

She said that Stallone’s spending caused a “waste of marital assets,” and she can only be “compensated and made whole” if she receives a higher portion of the estate.

Stallone said a statement, “I love my family. We are amicably and privately addressing these personal issues.”

The actor also commissioned a cover-up of a tattoo of Flavin’s face on his bicep after the divorce was filed, replacing it with a portrait of the dog Butkus that featured in the Rocky series.

Flavin is also seeking “exclusive use and occupancy of the marital residence,” which is a $35 million mansion in Palm Beach, Florida. They recently sold an L.A. home to Adele which is no longer a factor in the split of assets, but reports indicate that they still own a residence in southern California that Flavin may be hoping Stallone will move into.

She told People, “While we will no longer be married, I will always cherish the more than 30-year relationship that we shared.”

Flavin and Stallone have three daughters together: Sophia, Sistine, an actor who appeared in 47 Meters Down: Uncaged, and Scarlet Stallone. He also had two sons with his first wife Sasha Czack, one of whom Sage Moonblood Stallone, died of heart disease at the age of 36 back in 2012. Stallone’s oldest son with Czack Seargoh Stallone is 46.
