After 25 years of marriage, American model Jennifer Flavin announced in a statement that she had filed for divorce from Hollywood actor Sylvester Stallone.

Between 1988 and 1994, the pair had an on-and-off kind of relationship. In 1994, Stallone broke up with Flavin in a six-page handwritten letter that was sent by FedEx. The letter has been called "sloppy" by Flavin. Apparently, Stallone had a relationship with model Janice Dickinson, who in February 1994 gave birth to a girl he thought was his. DNA tests revealed that Stallone was not Dickinson's daughter's father, ending their relationship. A year later, Flavin and Stallone came together in 1995.
Stallone has been married three times, with Flavin being his third wife. He has been engaged five times, with Flavin being his fifth and last engagement. On May 17, 1997, they had a civil wedding at The Dorchester Hotel in London. Soon after, they had a chapel wedding at Oxfordshire's Blenheim Palace. The couple is parents to three daughters, Scarlet, 20, Sistine, 24, and Sophia, 25.
