Aug 19 (IBNS) Robin Wright Penn has filed for divorce from her husband Sean Penn.
People.com reported that the estranged couple will divide their property and share custody of their minor son. The reason for the split was “irreconcilable differences”.Wright Penn will not seek spousal support.
The couple was seen together at the 81st Academy Awards. They filed their papers in Marin County, California, and stated that “both parties have already agreed to (shared) custody” over their minor son, Hopper Jack, 16, and that “the estranged couple have already agreed to division of all property.”
The reason for the split is listed as “irreconcilable differences.” Wright Penn, best known for roles in “The Princess Bride” and “Forrest Gump,” is not seeking spousal support.
Lawyers for both sides weren’t immediately available for comment.
Both Robin and Sean have been together since 1989 and married in 1996. But the couple endured a roller-coaster relationship, filing papers to initiate divorce not once, but twice — only to patch things up again as recently as May.
In an interview the actress told More magazine that she had no plans to reconcile with her husband.
“I hit that crossroad a while ago,” she said. “I know what I don’t want.”
Regarding the much-discussed marriage of the two actors, friends tell that the couple had a “peculiar chemistry.” Wright Penn herself said, “I, we, have two amazing children we raised together.”
This fall, daughter Dylan Frances, 18, is headed off to college, with son Hopper Jack preparing to follow suit.
