After 35 years together, Sylvester Stallone and Jessica Flavin have formalized their separation. The former model confirmed her divorce request in the columns of the magazine People this Wednesday, August 24.“Even though we will no longer be married, I will always cherish the relationship we shared for over 30 years and know that we are both devoted to our beautiful daughters.”she said.
Despite this message of appeasement, the atmosphere would be relatively electric behind the scenes. The 76-year-old American actor has even just made an oh so symbolic decision: he covered the imposing tattoo of his ex-wife on his right arm with that of Butkus, the adored doggie he had during the years Rocky.
According to the American press, it is moreover a dog which would have precipitated the divorce of the couple. Jessica Flavin reportedly didn’t want Sylvester Stallone to adopt a new Rottweiler, reports Vanity Fair. Another point of tension: their luxurious residence of seven rooms and ten bathrooms in Palm Beach. The model would have claimed the exclusive use.
