Fans couldn’t help but be heartbroken after hearing that Jennifer Flavin filed for divorce from Sylvester Stallone after 25 years of marriage. Of course, people are increasingly curious about what caused this split. According to TMZ, sources close to the couple claim that Stallone’s new dog was the final straw that led to the split.
Apparently, the pair had a heated fight as Stallone wanted a dog to protect, and Flavin didn’t. Instagram posts suggest that Stallone bought the dog anyway and rumors suggested that Flavin wanted a divorce. However, Stallone denied that their problem had anything to do with his furry friend.
Disagreements about the new dog
Sources say Rocky The star wanted to buy a Rottweiler to protect the family, but Flavin didn’t want another dog. It leads to a heated argument that brings other problems of the relationship back. At the time, no problem seemed to be a reason to end a marriage.
But then Stallone posted on Instagram that he bought a Rottweiler named Dwight after his new show character, King Tulsa. In the photo, Stallone seems pleased with her new canine companion.
“’DWIGHT’ Definitely a true friend! Keep punching and keep barking! Stallone wrote.
Fans also noticed something unusual happened when Stallone covered his wife’s shoulder tattoo with a dog’s face. The dog looks like a Rottweiler, but sources say it’s a portrait of Butkus, the Bullmastiff from Rocky film.
After all this information became public, Stallone contacted TMZ to clarify some of the discrepancies.
Stallone’s perspective
Stallone said that Dwight was not the reason for the couple’s divorce. He said Flavin had a problem with him getting the dog because they both had to travel a lot, making it difficult to take care of the dog. Still, he describes it as a “trivial argument,” even though getting a dog is a huge decision in any relationship.
“We didn’t end the relationship with such a trivial argument,” Stallone said. “We just went in different directions. I have the highest respect for Jennifer. I will always love her. She is a wonderful woman. She is the most beautiful person I have ever met. “

As for the tattoo, Stallone said he’s had it for 14 years, so he wanted to touch it. However, it got messy in the process, so he asked the artist to fix it by changing the tattoo completely. Stallone said he still has a Flavin tattoo on his back.
Disagreement over dog ownership is a valid reason to end a relationship, but there seems to be a lot more going on in this case. It’s normal to be curious about what happened, but in the end, only Stallone and Flavin need to know all the details. So if this is the only information they want to share, it’s important to respect that.
