As Fresh Reports Indicate That The Stallones’ 25-Year Marriage Is Going To An End, Our Hearts Break For The Family

Sylvester Stallone and Jennifer Flavin marked their 25th wedding anniversary on May 17. She was described by him as a “wonderful wife.” She promised that they would be together for “the next 25+ years.”

In Palm Beach County, Florida, Flavin filed for divorce 94 days later.

The divorce documents, which ET was able to get, stated that “the marriage between the parties is irretrievably broken,” and there are already indications that the process may become controversial.

The divorce papers state that Flavin suspects Stallone of concealing marital assets. As a result, she has asked the court to order Stallone to refrain “from selling, transferring, assigning, encumbering, or dissipating any assets during the pendency of proceedings.”

During the divorce proceedings, she also wants to continue residing in the Palm Beach property they shared.

Through his representative, Stallone responded to the divorce, telling ET, “My family means the world to me. We are resolving these private matters peacefully and in private.”

ET has also contacted Flavin for a response.

The actor and model appeared to have been an uncommon sight in Hollywood not so long ago, as they seemed to personify enduring love. Therefore, it begs the question of what precisely happened during those 94 days to cause the couple to celebrate their anniversary one day and call it quits the next.

We look more closely at their connection, the family they built, and the moments when it seemed like things might not work out.

From The Start

When Stallone’s fame was at its peak, they first connected in 1988 at a restaurant in West Hollywood, California. Flavin, who was 19 at the time, and a friend went out to eat. Stallone was a true A-list performer at that time, having been in multiple blockbusters, including several Rocky and Rambo movies. Prior to their breakup, they dated for six years, and Stallone’s final act certainly caught everyone’s attention.

The Couple Marries In London

Stallone and Flavin got back together in 1995, and on August 27, 1996, they had their first child, Sophia. On May 17, 1997, Stallone and Flavin wed at the Dorchester Hotel in London’s Penthouse Pavilion.

For obvious reasons, the small-scale civil ceremony received a great deal of media attention. According to People, Flavin wore a white Armani wedding dress, and Stallone wore a blue suit. Also present was Sophia, who was nine months old at the time.

According to the magazine, limos drove the wedding party 60 miles to Blenheim Palace, where Winston Churchill was born. Later, they boarded a plane for their honeymoon in Ireland.

The Trifecta Is Completed By Stallone And Flavin

Later, on June 27, 1998, and May 25, 2002, the couple welcomed their daughters, Sistine and Scarlet.

Stallone talked about how much Flavin had changed his attitude on life in a 2010 interview with The Telegraph. He also discussed how their family is controlled by women, which is a dramatic contrast to the testosterone-fueled sets he created and featured in.

Flavin Turns 50

Stallone shared a side-by-side image of them from their youth to the present on Instagram on August 14, 2018. Stallone appears stoic in the vintage image. In the second picture, he and Flavin are both smiling at the camera.

He added the caption, “Congratulations to my wife on turning 50! We’ve been together for a while, and I consider myself really fortunate to have found such a wonderful woman.”

25th Wedding Anniversary

When Stallone and Flavin reached the 25-year mark of their marriage, they celebrated a significant anniversary.

Stallone gushed, “Happy 25th anniversary to my lovely wife,” next to a number of pictures of him and Flavin. “I want this incredible woman could live another 25 years because there are simply not enough words to express how much she has meant to our lives. I’m grateful, honey.”

The Cover-Up

According to a Daily Mail article from August 22, there was difficulty in paradise as Stallone covered up the picture of his wife that was on his bicep. Zach Perez, an artist, posted photographs that have since been erased that showed the new tattoo.

A picture of the bullmastiff Butkus, owned by Sylvester Stallone’s Rocky persona, stood in for Flavin. Fans questioned whether there were problems between the pair in light of the new tattoos.

Files For Divorce, Flavin

The divorce filing by Flavin in Florida was confirmed by ET on August 24. She claims that she wishes to continue residing in the couple’s Palm Beach, Florida, house throughout the divorce process. Additionally, she thinks her spouse is hiding marital assets.

“According to information and belief, the Husband has participated in intentional asset waste, depletion, and/or dissipation, which has had a negative financial impact on the marital estate.

According to Florida Statutes Section 61.075, equity requires that the wife be made whole and compensated by obtaining an unequal allocation of marital assets. A prohibition against the Husband selling, transferring, assigning, encumbering, or disposing of any assets should also be issued while the case is still pending “study the divorce papers.

Flavin also wishes to maintain her last name.

A Dispute Over A Puppy Led To Divorce?

Citing sources close to the couple, TMZ reported that Flavin filed for divorce soon after arguing with Stallone about whether or not he should adopt another dog. According to the source, Sly didn’t want a second dog but wanted a Rottweiler on August 24.

However, none of the points raised would have ended a long-term marriage, despite the heated dispute that supposedly followed.

Neither of them changed their minds about how they felt about the dog, but Stallone apparently overcame the impasse by reportedly adopting the dog, whose name was Dwight—the name of the character he plays in the TV series Tulsa King.

Stallone reportedly learned of Flavin’s divorce filing when he was in Oklahoma filming the show, according to TMZ.
