The 76-year-old movie star is in marriage with his wife Jennifer Flavin for more than a quarter of a century and their bond only grew stronger with time. At the moment there are no public scandals surrounding their relationship. However, the Rocky actor covered up his huge arm tattoo of Flavin with a photo of his dog, Butkus. And this is enough for rumors about their alleged split to emerge.
In addition to this, we have several hints on Instagram that fuel these rumors. First of all, Jennifer Flavin has recently posted a photo of herself with her three daughters, saying that ‘they are her priority’ and that ‘nothing else matters’. Only the 4 of them. There is no mention of Stallone whatsoever.
Sylvester Stallone Covered A Tattoo Of His Wife With A Picture Of A Dog – Is The Couple Splitting Up?
The second hint is the fact that the wife of 25 years, now suddenly doesn’t follow her husband Stallone on Instagram.
Sylvester Stallone’s publicist, Bega, insists that this has nothing to do with the relationship of the couple. According to her, they are in a good relationship and very far from any kind of break-up or split. She suggests that the cover-up of his tattoo is due to the bad quality of the initial one.
The ‘wife tattoo’ was placed above scarred tissue on the actor’s right shoulder, sustained while performing stunts for his movies. With time, the quality of the tattoo wore off and it needed ‘refreshment’.
“Mr Stallone intended to refresh the tattoo image of his wife Jennifer however the results were unsatisfactory and, unfortunately, unfixable.” –Bega announces. “Mr. Stallone loves his family. The Stallones are presently filming a reality show together which will debut on Paramount.”
It seems like Sylvester Stallone’s third marriage is stronger than many Hollywood marriages. It lasts for 25 years and during the whole time, the Rocky actor manages to keep it steady despite his constant traveling and busy schedule.
The couple met in Beverly Hills when Flavin was just a 20-year-old model and Stallone was just coming out of the post-production of his third sequel of the Rocky franchise. Their romance did not last long as Stallone had many issues surrounding him. Both professional and private, these issues made him concentrate on his career for some time.
A couple of years later, they met again and instantly clicked. The couple married in 1997. Despite many critics predicting that the marriage won’t last long, the couple stood strong and now shared three daughters and has more than a quarter of a century under their marriage belt.
“I can’t change the way he is.” – Flavin said for People magazine after she entered the marriage. “Still, he’s not a cheating dog every day of the week. We spend five out of seven nights together, so I don’t know where he’d find the time.”
It shows that Flavin knows how to keep her man satisfied. Ever since they married, he went from the playboy, flamboyant type of guy to a calmer and stable person.
The couple is not splitting up. Moreover, as Stallone says in the caption of the 25th-anniversary photo – he wishes for himself an additional 25 years of marriage with the love of his life.
