Sylvester Stallone's wife, Jennifer Flavin, has filed for divorce after 25 years of marriage, Fox News Digital can confirm.
In a statement to Fox News Digital, Stallone said: "I love my family. We are amicably and privately addressing these personal issues."
Court records show that Flavin, 54, a former model, filed paperwork Aug. 19 in Palm Beach County, Florida, to officially end her union with the "Rambo" star.
Four days later, Stallone covered a large tattoo of Flavin on his right bicep with an image of Butkus, his bullmastiff that appeared alongside him in the movie "Rocky."

The tattoo artist Zach Perez posted a pic of his work on the actor to his Instagram feed, according to the New York Post.
"Greatest day in my tattoo career!!" he wrote. "Thank you for trusting me with your tattoo today @officialslystallone."
"I love my family. We are amicably and privately addressing these personal issues."
