LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Academy Award winner Sean Penn has officially thrown in the towel on his hopes of rekindling his romance with his gorgeous ex-wife Robin Wright. The Hollywood heartthrob was recently caught in a whirlwind of romance during a dreamy dinner date with none other than the stunning actress Olga Korotyayeva in the picturesque paradise of Malibu.
Sources revealed that Penn's desperate attempts to win back Wright's heart, ever since she filed for divorce from her ex-husband Clement Giraudet in September 2022, have tragically fallen flat. Penn and Wright, once an iconic power couple who stole the hearts of millions, were married from 1996 to 2010. Since their split, Penn briefly found love again with Leila George, tying the knot in 2020 before their unfortunate divorce just two years later in 2022.
'A real bummer for Sean'
Despite their previous encounters in February, it seems Penn's grand gestures failed to ignite the spark he had hoped for. An insider close to the situation revealed that Robin, while content with amicably co-parenting, has no desire for anything beyond that. "Robin’s more interested in co-parenting amicably and nothing much more. It’s a real bummer for Sean," the source told Radar Online at the time.
Penn's recent romantic escapades with the alluring Olga Korotyayeva only serve to confirm whispers circulating in the grapevine. The duo was spotted relishing a delectable dinner at the luxurious Malibu hotspot, Nobu. Olga, a vision in a mesmerizing black and silver dress boasting a daring high slit and elegant long sleeves, perfectly complemented Penn's dashing appearance. The 'Milk' actor pulled out all the stops, donning a meticulously tailored suit, a crisp white dress shirt, and a sleek black tie.
While no eyewitnesses have come forward with tales of passionate displays of affection between Penn and the talented Korotyayeva, the undeniable chemistry between the two left little doubt that they were indeed on a date. After their evening, they bid adieu to Nobu and were spotted waiting for the valet together. They even hopped into the same luxurious black SUV, with Penn behind the wheel.
'One bad romance to another'
Insiders have been buzzing about Penn's lingering affection for his ex-wife, Wright, even 13 long years after their divorce. An anonymous source spilled that Penn seems to stumble from one ill-fated romance to another, perpetually haunted by thoughts of the enchanting Robin. "Everyone will tell you he lurches from one bad romance to another because he’s still got Robin on his mind 24/7," a source told Radar Online. "She’s absolutely the love of his life, no question."
Adding to the intrigue, Penn's previous outing with Tarka Russell further fuels the notion that history may be repeating itself. Following the disappointment of his attempts to reconcile with Wright, Penn was spotted on a date with Russell, once again experiencing a setback in his romantic pursuits.
The Penn-Wright rollercoaster took an unexpected twist when they were recently seen together at LAX, sparking wild rumors of a potential reconciliation. Alas, Robin quickly clarified that they remain close friends and devoted co-parents, nothing more. “To be friends with the father of your children… I mean, it’s a gift because we know divorce with children is one of the most difficult things in life,” she told E! News in February. “We’re always gonna be family, whether we’re together or apart, you know? And I think that’s beautiful, and I wish that for everybody.”
Following her divorce from Penn, Wright entered into a marriage with Clement Giraudet in 2018. However, it was reported that the couple separated in 2022, leading Wright to file for divorce.
