Sylvester Stallone refers to reports that the dog ended the marriage

This is the dog’s truth.

Sylvester Stallone denies claims that his 25-year marriage ended because of his dog.

Stallone’s wife Jennifer Flavin had filed for divorce on Wednesday as she was fighting for a new Rottweiler named Dwight.

The doggy dispute – Flavin did not want another pet, while Stallone wanted the dog for “protection” – reportedly led to “an extremely heated argument that touched upon other issues.”

But Stallone denies the dogs’ accusations.

“We didn’t end the relationship on such a trivial argument”, star of “Rocky”, 76, said TMZ, although he admitted that the couple disagreed on “how to care for a dog” given that they travel a lot and live in two houses.

Stallone explained that the surprise fell apart because the couple just went “in different directions”.

“I have the utmost respect for Jennifer,” he added. “I will always love her. She is an amazing woman. He is the nicest person I have ever met.

He also cleared the air about Flavin’s tattoo, which he covered with Dwight’s portrait.

The “Expendables” star explained that he wanted to “refresh” his Flavin ink, but “it broke and the dog was just a fix, no bad intentions,” then added that he still had a tattoo of his estranged wife on him. back.

Page 6 only reported that Stallone had been “blinded” by Flavin, who filed for divorce last week. He was filming the Paramount + series “Tulsa King” in Oklahoma City and was “shocked” to receive the news.

“I am sorry to announce that after 25 years of marriage I have filed for divorce from my husband Sylwester Stallone” Flavin said People.. “Although we will not be married anymore, I will always cherish the over 30-year-old relationship we shared, and I know we are both devoted to our beautiful daughters.”

The couple first started dating in 1988, when Flavin was a 19-year-old model and Stallone was 42 and divorced twice. After reconnecting, the couple got married in 1997 and have three daughters: Sophia, Sistine and Scarlet.
