The marriage that was once considered a symbol of Hollywood happiness between actor Sylvester Stallone and former model Jennifer Flavin broke up, allegedly due to a tattoo of a pet dog.

World media reported that Jennifer Flavin (54 years old), wife of actor Sylvester Stallone (76 years old), filed for divorce after 25 years of marriage.

According to the Independent , the reason the marriage broke up is said to be because the Rambo actor got a tattoo of a recently deceased pet dog covering up a portrait tattoo of his wife’s face.

It is known that Stallone has a tattoo of his wife’s portrait on his right bicep, but he has now covered this tattoo with an image of Butkus, his pet dog that has appeared in his hit movies.

However, according to Stallone’s representative told Daily Mail that the actor only wanted to “refurbish” his wife’s tattoo, but the results were not as expected and could not be repaired.

Besides, there is also a source claiming that Stallone wanted to raise more Rottweiler dogs, but his wife did not agree, which was the reason that pushed this seemingly perfect marriage to the brink of collapse.

Former model Jennifer Flavin filed for divorce from Rocky movie actor Sylvester Stallone at a court in Palm Beach County, Florida (USA) on August 19.

Flavin also accused her husband of wasting marital assets, affecting the family’s overall economic problems.

Although, in mid-May, Stallone and Flavin celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary, Stallone even marked this special event by posting a tribute to his wife on his Instagram profile.

In a statement to People , the actor said: “I love my family. We are resolving these personal issues amicably and privately.”

Recently, on her personal Instagram page, former model Flavin posted a photo of herself with her three daughters with the caption “These girls are my priority. Nothing else is important. The four of them I am forever”.

Sylvester Stallone married Jennifer Flavin in 1997 and has three daughters together: Scarlet (20 years old), Sistine (24 years old) and Sophia (25 years old).
