These are Rocky times.
Sylvester Stallone’s wife, Jennifer Flavin, last week filed for divorce from the “Rocky” star and writer, 76, after a quarter century of marriage, according to a court document obtained by the Daily News on Wednesday.
The 54-year-old model filed for a “dissolution of marriage” from the native New Yorker in Palm Beach County, Florida, where they shared a home, noting in the filing: “The marriage ... is irretrievably broken.”
“I love my family. We are amicably and privately addressing these personal issues,” Stallone said in a statement provided to the Daily News by a representative for the actor.
Stallone and Flavin — who had a role in her husband’s “Rocky V” and who later appeared in reality shows like “Good Day Live” and “American Gladiator” — met in 1988 and tied the knot nearly a decade later in London in 1997. They share three adult daughters ranging in age from 20 to 25.
Stallone — who also has two sons from previous relationships, Seargeoh and the late Sage — took to Instagram in May to wish Flavin a happy 25th wedding anniversary.
“Happy 25th anniversary to my amazing wife,” Stallone at the time captioned several sweet photos of the couple and their family. “There is not enough words to describe what this incredibly selfless dedicated , patient, woman has meant to our lives and I only wish they could be another 25! Thank you sweetheart!”
