Sylvester Stallone's wife, Jennifer Flavin, files for divorce

After 25 years of togetherness, Sylvester Stallone and Jennifer Flavin have decided to part ways. As per the court documents obtained by Closer, Flavin filed the paperwork in Palm Beach County, Florida and cited "the marriage between the parties is irretrievably broken" being the reason. Flavin also asked the court to legally change her name to Jennifer Lee Flavin as she wished to drop her husband's surname. Moreover, Jennifer Flavin asked for all assets and liabilities that the two have accumulated during the course of their marriage to be distributed "equally."

The couple tied the knot back in 1997 after dating for nearly nine years. They had a significant age difference as Stallone recently turned 76 years, while Flavin is 54.
