Divorce after 25 years, a covered-up tattoo of his wife, and finally... a return. The legendary action movie star likes to create an emotional rollercoaster for himself. Two years after a sudden marital twist, he is head over heels in love with his model wife. Although detractors claim it’s all calculated.

Sylvester Stallone's love life is as rich as his film career. The actor has been married three times. His first wife was Sasha Czack, with whom he had two sons - Sage and Seargeoh. However, his marriage to his second wife, Brigitte Nielsen, stirred the most controversy. The actor’s mother, Jackie Stallone, openly disliked Nielsen, calling her "the worst woman ever born". Stallone is happily married to Jennifer Flavin, a model, with whom he continues to form a happy marriage. Although, just two years ago, this picture was not as idyllic.

In 2022, a few months after Sly and Jennifer celebrated their silver anniversary, a divorce petition signed by Flavin, 22 years younger than the actor, was filed in court. In response to this move, Stallone covered up a tattoo depicting his wife's face with the likeness of his beloved dog.

Everyone was amazed when the two reconciled by the autumn. Moreover, as an exemplary married couple with three adult daughters, they started filming the reality show "The Stallone Family". Detractors claim this is the secret to their sudden reconciliation. Without Flavin and with just the three Stallone girls, the show might "not hold together," by participating, Jennifer also got her share. Of course, there is also the possibility that the actor and the former model genuinely love each other and overcome the crisis because they share an authentic bond.

Jennifer Flavin just turned 56. On this occasion, the actor famous for Rocky shared some archival photos on Instagram. He added a few words to the pictures: "Happy birthday to my wife, Jennifer! Myself and the children think you are absolutely amazing. We love you forever!"

Soon, the second season of the series "Tulsa King," starring Sylvester Stallone, will premiere on SkyShowtime.
