But last Friday, Jennifer filed for divorce.
She told People, "I'm sad to announce that after 25 years of marriage, I have filed for divorce from my husband Sylvester Stallone. While we will no longer be married, I will always cherish the more than 30-year relationship that we shared, and I know we are both committed to our beautiful daughters."
But this post is not about their *glorious* marriage, it's about a tattoo and a dog.
This is Sylvestor's beloved dog Butkus, who you probably remember from the Rocky movies.
For years, Sylvester had a large bicep tattoo of Jennifer, which you can kind of see here:
And especially here:
A few days before she filed for divorce, it was changed to a picture of Butkus.
Now it looks like this:
It was rumored that the divorce was over a dog, but Sylvestor told TMZ, "We did not end the relationship on such a trivial argument."
And a spokesperson told the Daily Mail he had the tattoo changed to the dog when a touchup appointment went wrong:
“Mr. Stallone intended to refresh the tattoo image of his wife Jennifer, however the results were unsatisfactory and, unfortunately, unfixable. As a result, he had to cover the original image with a tattoo of his dog from Rocky, Butkus.”
Still, the timing seems a *little* too perfect.
And theories abound!
Sylvester Stallone "blindsided" by his wife filing for divorce when he just got his huge tattoo of her covered up with a portrait of a new dog that he adopted against her wishes while his family is in the middle of filming a reality show... this is the celeb mess we were missing
