Sylvester Stallone admitted he committed a “tragic mistake” that almost led to the dissolution of his 25-year marriage. “Sometimes I put the work ahead of [my family], and that is a tragic mistake which won’t happen again,” Stallone explained to The Hollywood Reporter in a new interview published Monday.
After more than twenty years of marriage, Stallone’s wife, Jennifer Flavin, filed for divorce from the actor in August. The breakup initially appeared contentious as Stallone, 76, covered his tattoos honoring the former model. The divorce was initially attributed to a heated disagreement over a puppy, but Stallone insisted that the dissolution was not the result of a “trivial argument.”

“I have the highest respect for Jennifer. I will always love her,” he said during the interview. “She’s an amazing woman. She’s the nicest human being I’ve ever met.” As soon as Flavin, 54, decided she wanted a divorce, she and Stallone got back together and the Florida lawsuit was formally dropped. The on-again couple has been sighted together or with their three daughters, Sophia, Sistine, and Scarlet, at a number of events since their reconciliation.
Stallone and his first wife Sasha Czack, to whom he was wed from 1974 to 1985, also have two boys together, Sage and Seargeoh. The “Cliffhanger” actor had previously called the short separation between him and Flavin a “tumultuous phase” that led to a shift in his behavior. “There was a reawakening of what was more valuable than anything, which is my love for my family,” he said. “It takes precedence over my work, and that was a hard lesson to learn.”
It sounds like Stallone learned a valuable lesson and I think it’s something everyone could listen to.
