Jennifer Flavin has filed for divorce from Sylvester Stallone after 25 years of marriage.
Just last week, DailyMail.com revealed Stallone had a huge tattoo of Jennifer on his right bicep that was covered with an image of Butkus, Rocky’s bulldog from the hit movies.
Flavin, who is 76 years 22 years younger than her husband, also hinted that it could all be over in an Instagram photo of her holding their three daughters.
‘These girls are my priority,’ she wrote on the August 10 post. ‘Nothing else matters. The 4 of us forever.’
Jennifer no longer follows her husband on Instagram.
Flavin is said to have filed for divorce on Friday and claimed that Stallone hid their marital assets.
According to court documents, ‘In the presence of information and trust, the husband knowingly dissipated, depleted, and/or wasted marital property economically affecting marital property.
‘Furthermore, the Husband should be prohibited from selling, transferring, transferring, seizing or otherwise disposing of any property during the proceedings.’

AFTER: Stallone showed no interest as Zach Perez worked to cover his wife’s 1/4-century tattoo
Butkus appeared alongside Rocky Balboa in the original Rocky and again in Rocky II; The bull is owned by Sylvester Stallone in real life.
Flavin hinted that it could all end in an Instagram photo of herself hugging their three daughters on August 10. ‘These girls are my priority,’ she wrote on the post. ‘Nothing else matters. 4 of us forever’
Stallone’s publicist last week insisted that all was well and that Sly had wanted to update the tattoo – but it was all wrong and ‘irreparable’.
‘He. Stallone intended to renew his wife Jennifer’s tattoo, however the results were not satisfactory and unfortunately could not be fixed,’ she said.
‘As a result he had to cover the original image with a tattoo of his dog from Rocky, Butkus.
‘He. Stallone loves his family. The Stallones are currently filming a reality show together that will premiere on Paramount+,’ Bega added.
The journalist declined to comment further.
Stallone, 76, showed off his wife’s tattoo on August 7 with a photo on his Instagram page. But just nine days later, on August 16, tattoo artist Zach Perez posted himself working on Stallone’s biceps.
And his photos show the Flavin squid gone and replaced by a small puppy.
Perez also posted a photo of his artwork, but took it down when commenters started asking why the star had covered up a photo of his wife.
Stallone’s third marriage seems to be one of the strongest in Hollywood to date, although the couple’s romance got off to a rough start.
They first dated in 1988 shortly after his brief second marriage to Brigitte Nielsen.

This is Stallone’s third marriage, which seems to be one of the strongest marriages in Hollywood to date, although the couple’s romance has had a head start.
The couple married on May 17, 1997 at the posh Dorchester Hotel in London, and given Stallone’s reputation as a playboy, few expected them to last.
They met at a restaurant in Beverly Hills when she was a 20-year-old model and he was having a temporary problem with Rambo III, which earned him the Golden Raspberry award for worst actor.
But then he turned to model Janice Dickinson, who said he was the father of a young daughter. He ended things with Flavin by sending her a letter from FedEx, which she called ‘sloppy.’
Only after he and Dickinson split did DNA tests prove he was not the father.
He was later engaged to actress Angie Everhart but that didn’t work out and he went back to Flavin again.
They married on May 17, 1997 at the posh Dorchester Hotel in London, and given Stallone’s playboy reputation, few would have predicted that they would last.
Flavin told People at the time: ‘I’m not naive about what can happen when I’m not around – he’s a 45-year-old man – I can’t change the way he is.
“However, it’s not a dog that cheats every day of the week,” she adds. ‘We spend five of seven nights together, so I don’t know where he’ll find the time.’
But it finally happened and just this May they celebrated their silver wedding anniversary. The marriage has produced three daughters, Sophia, now 25, Sistine, 24, and Scarlet, 20.
He has two sons with first wife Sasha Czack, Sage, who died of coronary heart disease in 2012 at the age of 36, and Seargeoh, 43.

Stallone often joked about his lack of testosterone as he spent his years surrounded by the women of his life. In a 2010 interview, having three daughters, he said ‘is a free passport to hell’.
“Everything in the house is owned by women,” he added. “Toys, housekeepers, all dogs,” he said in a 2010 interview.
“The only dog I have is a disabled male… I’m next.”
But he thinks Jennifer learned to have fun.
‘It took me 19 years to realize that she was always right. I’ve found that women, at least Jennifer, have a knack for making incredibly erudite, discerning, and intelligent decisions. I always dance without looking. She is always looking and never jumping.
‘She is extremely safe. So now finally, I say: ‘Honey, you make all the decisions. Done, done. I trust you.’ I’ve never had that before. When.’ Things don’t always go so smoothly.
In May, on the couple’s anniversary, Stallone posted: ‘Happy 25th anniversary to my amazing wife. There aren’t enough words to describe what this devoted, patient, incredibly selfless woman means to our lives and I just wish they (sic) could be another 25! ‘
This year, on their anniversary in May, she posted: ‘Thank you for always keeping me laughing, loving and protecting our beautiful family!’

‘Our marriage just keeps getting better every year! I can’t wait to spend the rest of our lives together! ‘
Instas anniversaries have become a tradition in the Stallone family. Last year, for their 24th, he posted “So happy it’s Wedding Anniversary Time again! Time flies but I have a blessed life. Thank you to my wife and family,’
