Sylvester Stallone's wife Jennifer Flavin files for divorce, calls marriage 'irretrievably broken'

Sylvester Stallone's wife Jennifer Flavin is seeking a divorce from her husband of 25 years.

Flavin, 54, filed a petition "for dissolution of marriage" Friday in Palm Beach County, according to online court records. 

The former model said the marriage was "irretrievably broken," according to court documents obtained by The Palm Beach Post, part of the USA TODAY Network.

In a statement to USA TODAY via Stallone's rep Michelle Bega, the "Rocky" actor, 76, said, "I love my family. We are amicably and privately addressing these personal issues."

USA TODAY has reached out to attorneys for Flavin.

Stallone and Flavin got married in 1997 and share three daughters: Sophia, 25, Sistine, 24, and Scarlet, 20.

The petition for dissolution alleges that Stallone engaged in the "intentional dissipation, depletion and/or waste of marital assets which has had an adverse economic impact on the marital estate." 

The document indicates that Flavin is requesting that she "be compensated and made whole by receiving and unequal distribution of the marital assets in her favor." Flavin is also seeking exclusive use of the Palm Beach estate during the pendency of the divorce proceedings, records show. 

On Aug. 10, Flavin shared a photo on Instagram hugging her daughters. "These girls are my priority ❤️ nothing else matters. The 4 of us forever???????????? #truth #family #forever," she captioned the post.

Sophia commented, "You are our rock, cheerleader, and most incredible mom. We are so lucky to have you."

"Strongest woman I know," Sistine added.

Scarlet also commented with a heart emoji.
