Hollywood happy ending? Sylvester Stallone, Jennifer Flavin halt divorce proceedings
The Hollywood couple, who own a lakefront mansion in Palm Beach and have three daughters, had gone to court in August.
WEST PALM BEACH — Hollywood icon Sylvester Stallone and wife Jennifer Flavin have halted their divorce proceedings and decided to reconcile, Palm Beach County court records show.
An order for abatement was filed in the Palm Beach County Circuit Court on Sept. 23, a little more than a month after Flavin initiated divorce proceedings. At that time, she called the couple's 25-year marriage "irretrievably broken."
"The Parties agree that it is in the best interests of each of them individually, and more importantly collectively as a family, to resolve all issues attendant to the dissolution of their marriage in a dignified, amicable and private manner out-of-court," the court filing said.

Circuit Judge Darren Shull agreed to halt the divorce proceedings, with either party having the option to reactivate them if they are unable to resolve their issues.
Stallone, 76, and Flavin, 54, married May 1997 in London and have three daughters: Sophia, 25; Sistine, 24; and Scarlet, 20. In December 2020, the couple bought a lakefront Palm Beach estate on the far north end of the island, paying $35.38 million through a trust company.

In her initial petition to dissolve the marriage, Flavin accused Stallone of intentionally wasting marital assets, which the actor denied.
“They decided to meet back up at home, where they talked and were able to work out their differences,” a spokesperson for the couple told the New York's Post's Page Six column. “They are both extremely happy.”
