Sylvester Stallone ignores divorce woes to post throwback boxing snap with his daughters

Sylvester Stallone put his marriage woes behind him to post a cute throwback snap with his daughters.

Taking to Instagram, the actor posed in the boxing ring with the three kids he shares with his estranged wife Jennifer Flavin.

In the old snap he and his girls hold their fists up in a nod to Sylvester’s most famous character, Rocky.

He then posted a ‘now’ pic with Sophia, 26, Sistine, 24, and 20-year-old Scarlet as they look today.

In a message which could be fighting talk for what is going on in his life right now, the 76-year-old captioned the post: “ALWAYS KEEP PUNCHING!”

The post comes two weeks after the Hollywood star’s wife of 25 years filed for divorce.

Former model Jennifer – who at 54 is 22 years younger than her husband – has accused the actor of ‘hiding assets’.

In the divorce papers, obtained by TMZ, Jennifer reportedly accused the actor of moving assets from their shared marital funds.

Jennifer has now allegedly requested sole domain over their home in Palm Beach ahead of their divorce proceedings.

A day before the split was made public on August 24, Sylvester headed to the tattoo parlour to cover up a huge tattoo of his wife's face with a picture of his dog Butkus.

The series of digs brings an end to one of the longest-running marriages in Hollywood.

Jennifer first met Sylvester in 1988 when she was just 19 years old and he was 41 and at the height of his fame.

When they got together, Sylvester had already been married twice, first to Sasha Czack from 1974 to 1985 and second to Brigitte Nielsen from 1985 to 1987.

As well as his three girls with Jennifer, Sylvester has two sons with first wife Sasha -Seargeoh, 43, and Sage, who tragically died in 2012 aged 36.

Following the news of their marriage split, Sylvester released a statement of his own as he confirmed the end of his relationship with Jennifer.

In a statement issued through his publicist, he said: “I love my family. We are amicably and privately addressing these personal issues.”

It came in stark contrast to a comment made after Jennifer had filed her court papers in which she states: “The marriage between the parties is irretrievably broken.”

His wife has since unfollowed him on Instagram and posted a photo with their three daughters, saying: “These girls are my priority. Nothing else matters. The 4 of us forever.”

What went so wrong between the couple – who recently celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary - remains to be seen.

Marking the milestone date in May this year, Sylvester called his wife as an “incredible and selfless” woman.

While Jennifer said of her husband: “Our marriage keeps getting better every year! I can’t wait to spend the rest of our lives together!”
