AceShowbiz - Sylvester Stallone is putting his family first. The "Rocky Balboa" leading man turned to his social media page to share sweet family photos after his now-estranged wife Jennifer Flavin filed for divorce.
On Saturday night, August 27, the 76-year-old Hollywood star posted a series of sweet pictures of his family to celebrate his daughter Sophia Rose Stallone's 26th birthday. In one of the images, it could be seen "The Expendables" actor posing with his spouse Jennifer with him putting his hand on her waist.
In a separate photo, the trio smiled alongside one another for a selfie in what appeared to be a vehicle. "A VERY HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TO MY VERY SPECIAL DAUGHTER, SOPHIA!!!" Sly captioned his post. This marked the first time he has shared a snapshot of his estranged wife since late July.
One day earlier, Jennifer honored Sophia on her actual birthday with her own Instagram tribute, which included a throwback photo of the mother-daughter duo, but did not feature any images of Sylvester.
Jennifer filed for divorce from Sylvester in a Florida court on August 19. In an attempt to end their 25-year marriage, the 54-year-old former model claimed that their union is "irretrievably broken." She also accused Sly of hiding marital assets, claiming that he "has engaged in the intentional dissipation, depletion and/or waste of marital assets which has had an adverse economic impact on the marital estate."
In his statement, Sly said that he and Jen have just taken "different directions." He went on to note, "I have the highest respect for Jennifer. I will always love her. She's an amazing woman. She's the nicest human being I've ever met."
A few days before filing for divorce, Jen posted a cryptic message on Instagram, hinting that "nothing else matters" except her three daughters, whom she shares with Sly. Along with a photo of herself with Sistine, Sophia and Scarlet, she wrote, "These girls are my priority. Nothing else matters. The 4 of us forever."
The former couple met at a restaurant in Beverly Hills, California, in 1988. They then tied the knot on May 17, 1997. The pair recently celebrated their silver wedding anniversary on social media.
