Inside Sylvester Stallone and Jennifer Flavin’s Ongoing Divorce: Everything We Know

Sylvester Stallone and estranged wife Jennifer Stallone (née Flavin) split in August 2022 after 25 years of marriage, In Touch confirmed at the time. The former couple’s divorce is still ongoing. They married in May 1997 and share their three daughters, Sophia, Sistine and Scarlet, together. 

“I love my family. We are amicably and privately addressing these personal issues,” the Rocky actor said in a statement to In Touch via his rep on August 24. 

While Sylvester claimed that he and Jennifer were “amicably” managing their separation, the former model cited the reason for their split as “the marriage between the parties is irretrievably broken,” according to court documents obtained by In Touch at the time. Jennifer filed the paperwork in Palm Beach County, Florida, on August 19.

In the court records, Jennifer is seeking to restore her name to Jennifer Lee Flavin and is asking that certain assets and liabilities that she and Sylvester had accumulated over the course of their marriage to be “equitably distributed.”

“The Husband has engaged in the intentional dissipation, depletion and/or waste of marital assets, which has had an adverse economic impact on the marital estate,” Jennifer claimed in the paperwork. The documents also noted that “the Husband should be enjoined from, selling, transferring, assigning, encumbering or dissipating any assets during the pendency of these proceedings.” 

The Los Angeles native is also requesting “exclusive use and occupancy of the Marital Residence during the pendency of these proceedings,” and she stated in the documents, “pending discovery and in an effort to amicably resolve this dissolution of marriage action, the Wife is intentionally not joining the business entities and/or corporations at this time but reserves her right to do so in the future.”

Less than one week later, the Creed actor clarified to TMZ why his marriage to Jennifer had ended after rumors swirled that they split because of a disagreement over getting another dog. 

“We did not end the relationship on such a trivial argument,” Sylvester said on August 24. “We just went in different directions. I have the highest respect for Jennifer. I will always love her. She’s an amazing woman. She’s the nicest human being I’ve ever met.”

Sylvester and Jennifer initially sparked split rumors on August 23 when he was seen covering up a previous tattoo of her face with a new design.

The couple have apparently reconciled and are now “extremely happy,” Page Six reported on Friday, September 23. “They decided to meet back up at home, where they talked and were able to work out their differences,” a spokesperson told the site. An order of abatement intending to put a hold on the divorce proceedings was filed earlier in the week according to the publication.

The action star seemed to hint that a reunion was on the way. On Tuesday, September 20, Sly shared a throwback Instagram photo holding hands with Jennifer and writing “Wonderful…” in the caption.
