Sylvester Stallone’s wife, Jennifer Flavin, files for divorce after 25 years
Sylvester Stallone’s wife, Jennifer Flavin, has filed for divorce, Page Six can confirm.
The former model, 54, filed paperwork to dissolve her 25-year marriage to the “Rocky” star, 76, in Palm Beach County, Fla., on Aug. 19.
Court documents obtained by Page Six state that the marriage is “irretrievably broken” and note that Flavin is requesting assets accumulated during the union to be “equitably distributed” between them.
Flavin also claims the “Daylight” star has “engaged in the intentional dissipation, deplete and/or waste of marital assets,” which has negatively affected the “marital estate.” She’s requesting to be “compensated and made whole” by receiving more money than Stallone does from the estate.
Flavin, who is looking to restore her maiden name, also wants exclusive use of their marital home in Palm Beach, Fla., while Stallone resides in their California property.
Stallone addressed the news Wednesday, telling Page Six, “I love my family. We are amicably and privately addressing these personal issues.”
Four days after Flavin’s filing, the actor made headlines for covering a large tattoo of his spouse’s face on his shoulder.
Stallone replaced the tribute with ink of Butkus, the famous bullmastiff from the “Rocky” movies.
Tattoo artist Zach Perez showed the cover-up in an Aug. 16 Instagram post.
“Greatest day in my tattoo career!!” he gushed. “Thank you for trusting me with your tattoo today @officialslystallone.”
After many fans commented on the social media upload to ask whether Flavin minded the shady move, Perez deleted the slideshow from his feed.
Stallone’s publicist, Michelle Bega, subsequently told the Daily Mail that the Oscar nominee “loves his family” and explained away the updated tattoo.

“Mr. Stallone intended to refresh the tattoo image of his wife, Jennifer. However, the results were unsatisfactory and, unfortunately, unfixable,” she told the newspaper. “As a result, he had to cover the original image with a tattoo of his dog from ‘Rocky,’ Butkus.”
But Flavin previously raised eyebrows when she posted a picture of herself hugging her three daughters with Stallone: Sophia, 25, Sistine, 24, and Scarlet, 20.
“These girls are my priority ❤️ nothing else matters,” the businesswoman, who notably no longer follows the “Creed” star on Instagram, captioned the Aug. 10 snap. “The 4 of us forever.”
Sistine commented, “Strongest woman I know.”
Stallone married Flavin in May 1997, nearly 10 years after they met at a restaurant.
The Golden Globe winner was previously married to Sasha Czack from 1974 to 1985 and Brigitte Nielsen from 1985 to 1987. He and Czack shared sons Sage, who died in July 2012, and Seargeoh, 43.
Page Six has reached out to Stallone’s and Flavin’s reps for comment.
