STALLONE MARRIAGE KNOCKED FOR LOOP!
Furious wife unleashes legal pit bulls as Rocky turns her tat into dog amid $450M divorce
CHEATING rumors had Rocky icon Sylvester Stallone’s stormy romance with Jennifer Flavin on the ropes for decades, but sources say a bitter battle over their fame-hungry kids ultimately delivered the knockout punch to their marriage!
“For years Jen had endured whispers Sly wasn’t faithful to her, but when he refused to push their kids’ careers in the direction she wanted, she decided she’d had enough,” snitches an insider.
The bitter 54-year-old model filed divorce papers in Palm Beach County, Fla., on Aug. 24 claiming “the marriage between the parties is irretrievably broken.”
The documents also charge Jennifer’s husband of 25 years “engaged in the intentional dissipation, depletion and/ or waste of marital assets” setting the stage for a brutal $450 million divorce.
“This is a move to ensure
Jen and her girls get their fair share of Sly’s riches,” says the insider.
Sources exclusively tell The National ENQUIRER the couple have recently endured vicious sparring matches over who should be calling the shots as their budding actress daughters, Sophia, 26, Sistine, 24, and Scarlet, 20, try to build Hollywood careers.
Insiders claim the macho Rambo star bristled when former model Jennifer pressured him to film a reality show featuring their family for Paramount+. The sources insist Sly branded the whole endeavor “a tasteless cash grab” and believed their daughters should earn their acting stripes the same way he did — by working hard.
“Sly hasn’t really used his muscle in the business to help his daughters the way Cindy Crawford did for Kaia or the Beckhams have done for their boy Brooklyn,” says a source, who
claims Jennifer is infuriated because she envisioned the family becoming the next Kardashians.
“Jen and the girls believe it’s time for them to get paid,” says a spy. “Now she’s going to take the money and run!” Fed-up Flavin tipped her hand by launching a social media war against her famous hubby, sources say. In early August she posted a cryptic message alongside a photo showing her with the girls that painted Stallone as an outsider in his own family.
The message ominously read: “These girls are my priority. Nothing else matters. The 4 of us forever.”
She then shockingly UNFOLLOWED her husband on Instagram!
He counterpunched, reaping revenge on the Sly! Stallone covered up his famous tattoo of Jennifer’s face with an inked image of his beloved bull mastiff Butkus, who costarred with him in the first two Rocky movies and died in 1981.
When fans wondered if the telltale tat was a sign the marriage was down for the count, Stallone’s publicist put out a statement insisting the new ink was actually done to cover up a mistake made when he tried to “refresh” the original Jennifer tattoo.
The rep then made sure to add, “Mr. Stallone loves his family” — without specifically mentioning Jennifer! Her divorce filing became public the next day.
Sources say Mrs. Stallone never fully trusted her husband after she discovered he cheated on her with supermodel Janice Dickinson before they tied the knot. After the scandal broke, Sly dumped
Jennifer via FedEx in 1994, sources say.
But they hooked up again in 1995 and married two years later — only after he took a DNA test to prove Janice’s daughter was not his, tipsters tattle.
According to sources, Jennifer continued to dismiss persistent rumors of the action movie star’s extramarital affairs throughout their marriage. “Hearing those rumors was incredibly tough on Jennifer, but she hung in there and kept the faith,” notes a source. “She wanted to believe the best, but it all took a toll. “Jennifer was never able to shake her doubts about Sly after Janice, and when she started to think he wasn’t doing enough for their kids’ careers, that was the blow that ended the marriage.”
