Sean Penn and Robin Wright did the breakup-and-makeup thing for years and years. It got so bad, I even lost track for a few years as to whether or not they were on or off. Like, I almost positive they were done and then they showed up together while Sean was promoting Milk in 2008-09. But shortly after that, I think they were finally over? Maybe? Like, summer 2009. Post-split, Sean drowned himself in booze and women (no different then when he was married), and he spent a lot of time in Haiti, working with his charity. And after their split, Robin had moved on with a new boyfriend, producer Greg Shapiro. When Robin showed up with Shapiro at the 2010 Oscars, according to reports, Sean got into it backstage with Shapiro, and Sean’s actions were so off-side, Penn was banned from the Governors Ball. However, through it all, Sean and Robin were said to be close because of their two kids, and they were committed to co-parenting (when Sean wasn’t in Haiti). So maybe it’s not shocking that they might have found their way back together?
Sean Penn and ex-wife Robin Wright may be headed toward reconciliation.
“They’ve been spending a lot of time together,” says an insider, who reveals that the couple originally grew apart due to busy work schedules and long stretched of time away from each other.
“They’ve been living the single life – and quit frankly, it doesn’t agree with either of them. They really miss their life together as a family.”
[From Star Magazine, print edition]
I’m not sure that I buy that they split up because of “work schedules”. I think they split up because Sean’s an ass and he was always screwing around on Robin and she finally had enough of all of it. While I believe that Sean has been drowning himself in young ladies since then, I’ll buy that he does miss Robin. She held him together, I think. She kept him sane and she definitely helped with his reputation.
UPDATE: Ah, I just saw this denial that Robin’s rep gave to RumorFix: “[Robin’s] on location in Australia, she’s shooting a movie with Naomi Watts. They’re just making up stuff; she’s been gone since mid January. Clearly there’s no photos of them together, so it’s clear…they’ve not been spending any time together.” I want to believe Robin isn’t messing with Penn again, but her history with him… it makes me believe that she’s capable of falling into his clutches again.
Here are some photos of Robin filming The Grandmothers with Naomi Watts this week – Robin’s still got a great figure, doesn’t she?

Noooooo!!!!! Robin could have been a huge star instead she stroked Sean’s ego barely worked and let him cheat on her while she raised their family. Now she finally has a chance at working and he’s trying to worm his way back in her life. ROBIN DON’T DO IT GIRL!!!
ITA….big mistake. Don’t do it, Robin.
I have loved Robin since her Santa Barbara days. One of my favorite shows ever!
Why did she ever marry that self-important douche?
Santa Barbara! I remember that too.
I agree. I hope she doesn’t get back with him. He’s a great actor but seems like a real jerk.
Second that. I have been somewhat obsessed with her since SB and then PB. I love love love her. Gorgeous, talented, kind. Just wish she hadn’t wasted so much time with him. She’s on my “Most beautiful women in the world” list.
yes Mia!!! word.
SANTA BARBARA FOREVER!!!!
the best soap of all time.
hahaha
kool.
Yes loved her on SB (although I can’t remember her character’s name for the life of me) and eerily she looks about the same with very little visible help.
Kelly Capwell, of course!!! I love her. I have loved her since childhood. She’s the Princess Bride for pete’s sake. I worship her very existence.
In these pics , no, but if you see her guest spot on Enlightened, it’s pretty bad, specially round the eyes plus lip fillers, botox, the woiks!!
RUN…run far run fast but for the love of everything holy RUN!!!!!
She looks amazing. She is way, way too good for him. I thought the last straw was when she caught him in a hotel room with two prostitutes when they were on vacation.
Dont Do It Buttercup
I know! Princess Buttercup wait for Twuuu Wuuuvvvv this time!
Please just say no Robin!
She has a great figure, much better than Giselle’s bag o’ bones.
Right? She looks fantastic.
Don’t do it Princess Buttercup, you’re much too good for that twat!!
I’ve liked her since she was in Forrest Gump. She’s a very versatile actress. Run Jenny Run.
I may not be a smart woman Jenny, but i know what insanity is.
She reminds me of Helen Hunt in that last pic.
I hope this isn’t true, but that “denial” doesn’t sound terribly convincing.
Isn’t eating shit for 20 years enough for her?
Is this a pun, lol? Denial was another movie which just made me obsess over her more! Her co-star Jason Patric was her original bad boy–unfortunately, her type 🙁
No I don’t think so they are definitely over for good.
Buttercup is beautiful and , apparently, extremely patient and loyal. I feel sure she can find someone better then Penn or she can just be happy by herself. Must be a huge relief not to have to deal with his lying, cheating ass everyday. I’ll bet the only thing she regrets is not leaving him sooner.
Noooooo!!!! Sometimes I think about what Robin Wright’s life would have been without Penn, and I just want to cry. She was, and is, so lovely and talented. What kind of hold does he have? Can she just not be alone? Self-esteem issues? I think that Sean Penn is a phenomenal actor, and I greatly admire his activism. But he is such a f*ck!
I remember reading an article about how she turned down like 3 or 4 major roles in the 90’s that would have made her huge to spend time at home with the kids and Sean. Now that would be fine and dandy if Sean was faithful to her but he wasn’t so. It just seems like a waste. She could have been bigger than Julia Roberts and Sandra Bullock were in the 90’s.
Yeah, really. if she hadn’t given up her career to marry a man like Matt Damon, or Jeff Bridges (just throwing out names) that would be one thing. But a wife-beating, philandering prick like Sean Penn?
Noooooooo! Please noooooooooo! Robin, don’t do it girl. He is toxic and gross. Hot damn, she has a killer body.
Once is more than enough when it comes to certain things in life and being with or married to Sean Penn is one of them.
she looks wonderful and healthy. hurrah!
F!ck! That’s a tight body. She looks more toned and fit then my girlfriends and me. And we’re in out early to mid twenties. DAMN!
Princess Buttercup deserves better!
Seriously, that dude has always skeeved me the hell out. She’s beautiful and talented and I think she should just work for awhile. She’s a really good actress who put her career on the backburner for that pompous ass.
i wouldn’t be surprised. those roots are very deep.
she was on an episode of Enlightenment and was excellent! so pretty.
pffff, thanx for update. I was affraid already.
Boy, that woman lends a ton of class to Penn, doesn’t she? He looks like less of an Irish thug when she’s by his side. The advantage would be all his if she did go back. Don’t do it lady!
Robin is very smooth. Sean is very rough.
I don’t know about this. Just read she may be seeing Ben Foster.

Wow. Good for Robin.
Do you think that when photos like this come out, Penn calls her up in a jelous rage? He strikes me as the kind who thinks she is his property, no matter what.
This is so odd both the producer guy and Ben Foster have a huge resemblence to Sean Penn, may be she is the one who is not over Sean yet.
Be brave Princess Bride, resist the Penn Peen.
Wow! Those bikini pics! How many kids did she have with him? Two? It doesn’t look like she has had any..amazing figure! I REALLY hope she doesn’t get back with him. I’d love to see more work from here…she’s a great actress.
Forgot to mention it earlier, great figure! Great, realistic, takes-care-of-herself-but-isn’t-fake, figure.
I’ve always liked her, she’s stunning and talented, I remember when she used to be on that soap opera in the 80s, Santa Barbara? She’s still beautiful, and doesn’t look “done” at all, she doesn’t need that plastic crap.
Anyway, Sean Penn is an a$$, but he’s just that kind of guy that women want to “save”. It wouldn’t surprise me if they got back together at some point, and grew old together.
Robin was a silent, suffering wife for so long. I saw an interview with Robin on “Inside the Actor’s Studio”..what an articulate, gorgeous and likeable woman! Sean is such a royal A**H**E..never appreciated Robin’s brilliance. He will never find another woman like Robin.
I really love Penn as an actor and director. He’s clearly a very intelligent and talented person.
BUT he’s a failure as a family man. Everyone knows how about his booze, his cheating and anger problem.
I never understood how Robin gave up the chance of being something huge in Hollywood so he could be Mr.Award Winning Guy.
I just hope she can make up for the lost time and keep her ass away from him forever now.
She looks great, by the way, doesn’t she? Very beautiful.
RUN Jenny RUN!! (a little forrest gump redux)
i like robin as an actress also, she looks great.
Does anyone else see her resemblance to the late Princess Diana? Wow. She should be playing her instead of Naomi Watts.
