Inside the Jennifer Flavin divorce case of that “blinded” husband, Sylwester Stallone

Sylvester Stallone was reportedly “blinded” by his wife, Jennifer Flavin, filed for divorce on August 19, friends told Page Six how they looked “so happy” together a few weeks ago.

The star of “Rambo” films his upcoming events Paramount Plus Series “Tulsa King” in Oklahoma City, and friends said Flavin – his wife for 25 years – is constantly on the set.

Sly was in Oklahoma when the papers were submitted on August 18 and sources said he was shocked by the news.

“You couldn’t think of a nicer couple … She visited him in Oklahoma City, where he shoots. It sounded like everything was great. I have no idea what happened, ”one source said.

In her divorce lawsuit filed in Palm Beach, Florida, where the couple have a home, Flavin, 54, claimed her husband had “engaged in the deliberate dispersion, depletion and / or waste of his marital property” – and demanded that Stallone not be allowed to sell or transfer any assets during the divorce proceedings.

But a source familiar with the case said, “It’s so ridiculous, I have no idea why Jennifer’s attorneys put it in the divorce lawsuit, it’s just a lie.” Sly didn’t sell as much as a T-shirt! “

A representative from Stallone made a statement on his behalf: “I love my family. We deal with these personal matters amicably and privately. “

According to a friend, “Sylvester’s intention was to get along with Jennifer. Now I do not know [what will happen] because she chose to make everything public. “

Meanwhile, TMZ reported that the couple split after a big fight over a dog.

It is rumored that 76-year-old Stallone wanted the new Rottweiler as “protection for his family,” but Flavin reportedly refused to add another pet.

This allegedly led to an “extremely heated quarrel that raised other problems” in their marriage, although these problems were reportedly not viewed as things that they could not go through.

Stallone got the pooch anyway and named him Dwight after the actor’s character “Tulsa King”. He promoted the show on Instagram with his photo with his dog Dwight earlier this month.

Meanwhile, on Tuesday it was revealed that tattoo artist Zach Perez posted a photo on Instagram where Stallone was tattooing his arm with Flavin covered with one of the Butkus – Bullmastiff from the Rocky movies.

Daughters of Stallone and Flavina – Sophia, 26 years old; Systna, 24 years old; and 20-year-old Scarlet – they shot a reality show together, in which their dad is said to have helped them and which is due to debut in Paramount +. But one Hollywood source told Page Six, “Sly gave them a reality show, but I don’t know what’s going to happen to him now.”

Other industry insiders have said Flavin is not a fan of Sly’s longtime columnist Michelle Beg.

Flavin asked for the exclusive ownership of the $ 35 million mansion in Palm Beach, which the couple bought in 2020, setting aside $ 5 million as a down payment.

According to CelebrityNetWorth.com, Stallone is worth $ 400 million.

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

Its representative did not respond to a request for comment from Page Six.

The pair met at a restaurant in Beverly Hills in 1988, when Flavin was a 19-year-old aspiring model and the actor of “The Expendables” was 42 and divorced twice.

However, their relationship was apparently not conventional. In 1991, Stallone said, “When we meet, it’s wonderful. When we are separated, there are no obligations. Yes it is. No strings attached. “

A year later, Flavin said, “I’m not naive about what can happen when I’m not around – he’s a 45-year-old man – I can’t change who he is. He is still not a cheating dog every day of the week. We spend five out of seven nights together, so I don’t know where he would find the time.

However, Flavin’s trust was shattered in 1994 when Stallone broke up with her via a FedEx letter – after model Janice Dickinson, with whom he had an affair, said he was her daughter’s father. The DNA test said otherwise, and Stallone and Flavin patched things up and said yes in 1997.
