Yet another high-profile Hollywood couple has called it quits! Sylvester Stallone and his wife Jennifer Stallone have split, as Jennifer filed for divorce from Sylvester on August 19. The couple is ending their 25 years long marriage.
"Upon information and belief, the Husband has engaged in the intentional dissipation, depletion and/or waste of marital assets which has had an adverse economic impact on the marital estate," the paperwork read.
"Pursuant to Section 61.075, Florida Statues, equity dictates that the Wife be compensated and made whole by receiving an unequal distribution of the marital assets in her favour.
"Moreover, the Husband should be enjoined from, selling, transferring, assigning, encumbering, or dissipating any assets during the pendency of proceedings."
The shocking news comes just one day after Jennifer shared a cryptic post on Instagram and amid news that the Rocky star removed an image of Jennifer's face from his arm.
On Tuesday, August 23, Sylvester was spotted getting a tattoo of a bullmastiff, which was a coverup of the tattoo he previously had of Jennifer’s face on the top of his right arm.
The actor is presently stationed in Oklahoma City where he is shooting for his upcoming Paramount+ series Tulsa King.
In the city, he decided to stop by local tattoo artist Zach Perez’s shop for his new ink.
In a since-deleted Instagram photo, the artist showed off his work — a portrait of Butkus, the dog from Sylvester’s legendary Rocky movies, over his Jennifer’s face.
Sylvester met Jennifer in 1988. He had been married twice and divorced twice to his second wife Brigitte Nielsen (1985-1987) and first wife Sasha Czack (1974-1985).
He was also already father to two sons, Sage and Seargeoh, from his first marriage.
While there are reports that Jennifer wants exclusive domain over their house in Palm Beach, Sylvester's rep has rubbished the rumours of trouble in their relationship saying that everything is alright between the two. “Mr. Stallone loves his family. The Stallones are presently filming a reality show together which will debut on Paramount+,” the rep said.

Rahul’s casual dismissal of that controversy has added fuel to the fire
Rahul Bhatt sparks controversy over 'insensitive' remarks about sisters Alia and Pooja Bhatt
Rahul Bhatt, fitness trainer and son of veteran filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, has found himself at the centre of a social media storm following controversial remarks about his half-sister, Alia Bhatt. In a recent interview, Rahul drew comparisons between Alia and their older sister Pooja Bhatt, calling the latter more talented, attractive, and principled.
The comments, which many have labelled inappropriate and insensitive, have sparked widespread criticism online. During the interview, Rahul stated, “In my opinion, she (Alia) is not even half of what my real sister Pooja is. Not in talent, not in looks, not in terms of being sexy. In front of my sister, she is ‘paani kam chai’ (watery tea). Amongst the siblings, the most talented and the most moralistic is Pooja.”
Social media users reacted strongly, questioning why Rahul would compare his sisters in such personal terms. Several users were particularly disturbed by his reference to their appearance and sex appeal, pointing out that such comparisons within a family cross boundaries of propriety. One comment read, “This is disturbing. Why talk about your sisters like that? It’s not just weird, it’s wrong.” Another post said, “There’s nothing respectful about comparing your siblings’ attractiveness in public.”
The backlash also reignited conversation around a decades-old controversy involving Mahesh Bhatt and Pooja Bhatt. Rahul was asked about the infamous 1990s magazine cover where the father-daughter duo shared a kiss, which had stirred public outrage at the time. Dismissing the criticism, Rahul said, “It doesn’t make any difference. It’s like water off a duck’s back. We know the truth, and we’ve seen everything since childhood.”
Rahul’s casual dismissal of that controversy has added fuel to the fire, with critics saying it reflects a broader issue of the Bhatt family being insensitive to public perception and boundaries. Many users questioned the need for bringing up old incidents in a bid to defend new and equally questionable statements.
As of now, neither Alia Bhatt nor Pooja Bhatt has issued any public response to Rahul’s remarks. Both actors, known for their significant contributions to Indian cinema, have typically kept family matters private despite living in the public eye.
This episode has also sparked debate over the role of public figures in maintaining respect when discussing family matters in the media. Observers say such comments, especially when involving women’s appearance and personal qualities, reinforce problematic attitudes and fuel unnecessary controversies.
While Rahul Bhatt is not as prominent in the entertainment industry as his father or sisters, his comments have made headlines and placed the Bhatt family in the spotlight for reasons beyond their creative work. For many, this serves as a reminder that public platforms come with responsibility, and that family ties should not be trivialised or dissected for attention or comparison.
The backlash is unlikely to subside soon, especially as fans and followers of Alia and Pooja continue to express disappointment over the way the situation has unfolded. Whether or not Rahul chooses to clarify or apologise remains to be seen.
