Sylvester Stallone and Jennifer Flavin are keeping the Rottweiler that 'caused divorce'

Sylvester Stallone and Jennifer Flavin have decided to keep their Rottweiler after deciding to save their marriage.

The couple, who have been married for 25 years, nearly called things off earlier this year but decided to give it another shot.

It's been reported that new pooch Dwight became a "major source of conflict" that resulted in Jennifer filing for divorce in August.

TMZ also reported that she now really loves the pup - which hasn't always been the case.

The publication previously reported that the model didn't want another dog, especially a large breed.

The Rocky actor also went as far to get a tattoo of the dog - which he had inked over a portrait of his wife.

He has also denied the rumours that the dog caused a wedge in the marriage and insisted that he wanted Dwight to "protect the family".

The insider said that when he bought the dog home, Jennifer wasn't impressed and the argument led to a deeper one about issues within their relationship.

Stallone said that their relationship hadn't ended over "such a trivial argument", but rather that the couple "went in different directions".

Jennifer showed how serious she was when she filed for divorce.

However, a month later she retracted it and a judge officially dismissed proceedings.

A court filing revealed that the pair agreed that "that it is in the best interests of each of them individually, and more importantly collectively as a family, to resolve all issues attendant to the dissolution of their marriage in a dignified, amicable and private manner out-of-court."

Page Six reported that they filed a voluntary notice for dismissal in Palm Beach Country, Florida and are "together and very happy".

This was certainly the case when the couple arrived at the Ralph Lauren SS23 Fashion Show in San Marino.

Joined by two of their daughters, the couple colour coordinated their outfits and put on smiles for the cameras.

The family is also in the process of filming a reality TV show, which includes daughters Sophia, 26, Sistine, 24, and Scarlet, 20.

Sylvester also has a son, Seargeoh, who he shares with his former wife Sasha Czack.

They also had a second son, Sage, who passed away unexpectedly in 2012.
