PALM BEACH, FLORIDA: Sylvester Stallone, 76, and his wife, model Jennifer Flavin, 54,  are being accused of faking a divorce battle to allegedly garner attention toward their upcoming reality show. The couple, who filed their divorce in August 2022, decided not to separate ways just one month after, raising suspicions about the whole divorce drama. "Something's off there," a source claimed, about the 'Rambo' star and Flavin recently going through a rough patch that purportedly had them both headed for divorce until their children intervened.

“Those two have been happily married for decades and then they film a reality show and snap — they’re getting divorced. Something is off there! We all think it was a PR stunt,” the source stated. “What people don’t know about Sly is how media savvy he is. He knows all the tricks in the business. He even invented a few of them,” spilled the insider. From the producers of 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians', the new Paramount+ series will spotlight Stallone and Flavin and their daughters Sophia, 26, Sistine, 24, and Scarlet, 20, as per RadarOnline.

“Basically, he’s doing this for his kids,” said an insider. “Sly doesn’t need to be any more famous or make any more money, but he would love for his daughters’ dreams to come true — even if that might involve a PR stunt or two.”

Flavin filed for divorce from Stallone in August. A source revealed the couple hadn't signed a prenuptial agreement before getting married in 1997, revealing details of the split. The divorce turned really ugly as Flavin accused Stallone of hiding marital assets. Her filing read, “Upon information and belief, the Husband has engaged in the intentional dissipation, depletion and/or waste of marital assets which has had an adverse economic impact on the marital estate. Pursuant to Section 61.075, Florida Statues, equity dictates that the Wife be compensated and made whole by receiving an unequal distribution of the marital assets in her favor.”

Stallone further disputed the charges. A few weeks later the couple called off the divorce, and they got back together. According to a Sylvester Stallone spokeswoman, the pair chose to meet at home where they were able to work out their "differences." According to the spokeswoman, Stallone and Flavin were "extremely happy," as reported in the media.
