Sean Penn and Robin Wright Penn have confirmed through their rep that they are divorcing, after 11 years of marriage. It’s sad that they aren’t quite managing ’til death’, but 11 years is a Hollywood lifetime, isn’t it?
One of Hollywood’s longer lasting unions, between actor Sean Penn and his wife Robin Wright Penn is over, as the couple confirmed they are divorcing.
The couple, who married in 1996, have two children together, Hopper Jack, 14, and Dylan Frances, 16.
According to People Magazine, the divorce was confirmed by the couple’s spokesperson.
Sean and Robin have acted in movies together, and started dating in the early 1990s shortly after his divorce from Madonna. They split briefly in 1996 and he dated Alaskan singer Jewel, and that relationship inspired several songs on her album Pieces Of You.
It’s always sad when a marriage ends, particularly when children are involved, the possible exception to this rule being when you hit Las Vegas and get married just for fun, and have to get an annullment. Then it is amusing for everyone, except possibly the couple who got married. For them it’s mostly embarrassing.
