Sean Penn Calls Off Divorce... Again

5 months ago 22nd May 15:00

Sean Penn has called off his legal separation from his wife of 13 years, Robin Wright Penn, again.

Penn has reportedly dismissed the papers he filed for 'legal separation with minor children' last month (24Apr09).

This is the second time the actor has rescinded divorce papers - Penn, 48, and Wright Penn, 43, started divorce proceedings in December 2007. The separation officially ended four months later.

The couple wed in 1996, and have two children, Dylan and Hopper Jack.

Penn first filed for divorce in December 2007, but his petition was dismissed. Three days later Wright Penn filed her own paperwork.

However, in April 2008, they requested to have their divorce petition dismissed as they wanted to give their relationship another try.

They attended the Academy Awards together in February, where Penn won his second Best Actor Oscar for his role as openly gay politician Harvey Milk in 'Milk'.

However, when accepting his award, Penn failed to thank his wife.

He later insisted it was not a deliberate slight against Robyn, he merely wanted to acknowledge people involved with the acclaimed film.
