His wife Jennifer Flavin accuses him of squandering the family fortune and asks to recover her maiden name
“I am sad to announce that after 25 years of marriage, I have filed for divorce from my husband Sylvester Stallone. While we will no longer be married, I will always cherish the more than 30 years of relationship we have shared and know that we are both committed to our daughters. I ask for privacy for our family as we move forward.” This is how Jennifer Flavin, 54, announced her separation from the protagonist of ‘Rambo’ a week ago, the beginning of the end of one of the most established couples in Hollywood.
From these words was distilled the intention that the process be as calm as possible. However, Flavin’s separation demand has blown up the good intentions. In the document, Stallone’s still wife claimed that the 76-year-old actor “had been involved in the dissipation, exhaustion and/or intentional waste of marital property,” for which he called for an “unequal” distribution of the same in her favor to be compensated for the expense of the movie star.
Stallone’s fortune exceeds 400 million dollars thanks to blockbuster films such as the ‘Rocky’ and ‘Rambo’ or ‘Demolition Man’ sagas.
Flavin went to court in Palm Beach in Florida while Stallone was in Oklahoma filming his series ‘Tulsa King’ to stop the economic movements that the interpreter was making with the funds that the marriage had in common. In this sense, he requested the prohibition that he could sell or transfer any assets during the divorce.
A few days later, Stallone surprised everyone with the public congratulations to his daughter Sophia for her 26th birthday. He did it by publishing several family photographs in which he appeared with his wife with the best of her smiles. “A very happy belated birthday to my very special daughter Sophia,” he wrote.
“I love my family”
In fact, at least publicly, he maintained a conciliatory attitude at all times: «I love my family. We are approaching these personal issues in a friendly and private way,” she said. However, that hasn’t stopped him from adamantly denying his wife’s accusations of squandering the family fortune in responding to her lawsuit. In addition, he is opposed to her using the exclusive house they have in Palm Beach. What he has accepted has been Flavin’s request to recover his maiden name, in addition to cooperation to reduce the legal costs arising from the judicial process.
At the time it was commented that the actor’s dog, a rottweiler that Stallone has tattooed on his arm, could initially be the main reason for the breakup, an extreme denied by the couple. Although the protagonist of ‘Rocky’ and his wife did not agree with the care of the animal due to his numerous trips because of his work, they assure that “we did not end the relationship with such a trivial argument”. “Our path has simply gone in different directions,” they argue.
A source close to the family has told ‘People’ magazine that they had been having marital problems for a long time, but “they wanted to wait until their children were older to officially separate.” The ex-partner has three daughters, Shophia, just turned 26, Sistine, 24, and Scarlet, 20. In addition, the interpreter is the father of two other children, Seargeoh, 43, and Sage, who died in 2012, both, the result of his marriage to the American actress, director and writer Sasha Czack, with whom he was married between . 1974 and 1985. Stallone was also married for two years to Danish model and sex symbol Brigitte Nielsen.
