Sylvester Stallone's wife files for divorce

After 25 years of marriage, Sylvester Stallone's wife has filed for divorce. 

Jennifer Flavin, a 54-year-old model, filed the paperwork on Friday in Palm Beach County, Florida, according to Closer Weekly magazine. 

Flavin cited the reason for their split as "the marriage between the parties is irretrievably broken".

In the paperwork obtained by the British magazine, Flavin is seeking "exclusive use and occupancy of the marital residence" and requesting that certain assets and liabilities they've accumulated during their decades-long marriage be "equitably distributed".

In the documents, Flavin also claimed that "the Husband has engaged in the intentional dissipation, depletion and/or waste of marital assets which has had an adverse economic impact on the marital estate".

Sylvester Stallone, 76, has since released a statement about the split, saying, "I love my family. We are amicably and privately addressing these personal issues."

According to TMZ, the couple reportedly split after they fought over buying a new dog. 

The outlet claimed Stallone wanted to buy a new Rottweiler for "protection for their family", and despite Flavin's apparent opposition, the actor got the dog anyway.

It was their supposed "heated argument" over the dog that "brought up other issues" in their marriage that allegedly sparked Flavin to file for divorce.

The news of the divorce comes after rumours began to swirl over the couple's relationship status, due to their suspicious social media activity. 

Both Stallone and Flavin had recent posted family photos while noticeably snubbing their spouse in the heartfelt captions.
