It was reported that Flavin, 54, filed for divorce on August 19, 2022, but the two of them have reconciled a little over a month after going public with the divorce filing.
Just weeks after Sylvester Stallone and his wife of 25 years, Jennifer Flavin, announced their separation, they are back together. It was reported that Flavin, 54, filed for divorce on August 19, 2022, but the two of them have reconciled a little over a month after going public with the divorce filing. In the petition, Flavin claimed the Rocky star "engaged in the intentional dissipation, depletion and/or waste of marital assets which has had an adverse economic impact on the marital estate," which he denied. "They are amazing together when they are happy," a source close to the couple told PEOPLE. "Their friends can't imagine them getting a divorce. It really seems they will be able to work things out though. Everyone is happy that they are giving their marriage a second chance."
Soon after filing for divorce, she was also spotted without her wedding ring. "I'm sad to announce that after 25 years of marriage I have filed for divorce from my husband Sylvester Stallone. While we will no longer be married, I will always cherish the more than 30-year relationship that we shared, and I know we are both committed to our beautiful daughters. I ask for privacy for our family as we amicably move forward," the Serious Skincare founder told PEOPLE. Stallone also said in a statement, "I love my family. We are amicably and privately addressing these personal issues."

At the time, there were rumors that the couple fought over Stallone's new dog which Flavin wasn't too keen on having around. The heated argument reportedly brought up other issues about their marriage as well. One thing led to another, and Flavin eventually filed for divorce. However, Stallone refuted those claims and told TMZ, “We did not end the relationship on such a trivial argument,” before confessing that they did disagree on “how to care for the dog” given that they often travel for work and also live in two homes. "We just went in different directions," he said, adding, "I have the highest respect for Jennifer. I will always love her. She's an amazing woman. She's the nicest human being I've ever met."
It was also said that rumors of their split began when the actor covered up a tattoo of his wife's portrait with that of the Rottweiler. Stallone responded by saying that he just wanted to freshen up the tattoo but it did not work out properly so he got his dog's tattoo done instead. He then shared that he still has a big tattoo of his wife on his back.

But, all of this is now in the past, as the couple has confirmed that they are back together. "They decided to meet back up at home, where they talked and were able to work out their differences. They are both extremely happy,” a rep told Page Six.
The two first tied the knot in 1997, nearly 10 years after they met at a restaurant. Over the course of their marriage, the couple welcomed three daughters: Scarlet, 20, Sistine, 24, and Sophia, 26.
