Sylvester Stallone and wife divorcing: Here’s what we know
According to Weekly Closer, Flavin filed documents in Florida’s Palm Beach County. She cited the reason for their split as “the marriage between the parties is irretrievably broken.”
She wants to change her name back to Jennifer Lee Flavin. They have accumulated certain assets and liabilities over the course of their 25-year marriage, and she is requesting that they be “equitably distributed.”
Though, fans started to sense trouble thanks to a recent tattoo coverup. Stallone removed an image of Jennifer’s face from his arm. He replaced it with an image of his late dog.
Stallone has since addressed the news of his divorce and said that “I love my family. We are amicably and privately addressing these personal issues.”
