Sean Penn's Dating History
Sean Penn's first serious relationship was with Elizabeth McGovern. The pair met on the set of their 1984 movie Racing with the Moon, and Penn allegedly proposed to her when she was 23 and he was 25, but they never ended up tying the knot.
In 1985, Penn married Madonna, and they were married from 1985 to 1989, and their marriage was filled with ups and downs. Shortly after their divorce, Penn got together with Robin Wright, and they welcomed a child together in 1991 and another in 1993. They married in 1996 and remained together until 2010.
In 2011, at age 51, Penn got together with Scarlett Johansen, 27, but their fling was short-lived, only rumored to have been together for a few months. Then Penn started seeing Charlize Theron in 2013, who was a bit closer to his age at 36 years old to his 53. They were together for about two years, before Penn moved on to Leila George, 24, a year later. They married in 2020 but finalized their divorce in 2022. In 2023, Sean and Olga Korotyayeva, 44, were romantically linked, but their relationship didn't last long, as he's now happily with Valeria Nicov.
