Stallone and Flavin have a massive age gap between them.
They first met in 1988, when Stallone was 42 and Flavin was 19.
The pair began dating shortly after, and went public with their relationship in 1990.
He confessed to his infidelity in a six-page, hand-written letter, which he FedExed to Flavin.
Flavin herself discussed the incident in a 1994 interview withPeople.
“It hit me like a ton of bricks.
Flavin also described Stallone’s letter itself as being “pretty sloppy.”
Stallone and Flavin eventually wed in 1997.
“I ask for privacy for our family as we amicably move forward.”
For his part, Stallone echoed this sentiment, telling the outlet, “I love my family.
We are amicably and privately addressing these personal issues.”
In October 2022, Stallone opened up about his near-split from Flavin in an interview withThe Times.
“Let’s just say that it was a very tumultuous time,” he said.
It takes precedence over my work and that was a hard lesson to learn.”
