Sean Penn and Robin Wright Penn Split

According to People, Sean Penn and Robin Wright Penn are calling it quits after eleven years of marriage. The couple began dating in the early 90s and tied the knot in 1996. They share two children Dylan Frances, 16 and Hopper Jack, 14.

“Marriage ain’t easy, but it’s great most of the time,” Penn told Entertainment Weekly in 1997. “I love Robin. I’ve always loved her.”

It can’t be easy especially when both parties are actors with extensive work history. Their resumes also include two films in which they appeared together. Hurlyburly was released in 1998 and She’s So Lovely hit theaters in 1997.

Sean Penn’s most recent project is Into the Wild which he himself directed. The film was released September 21, 2007 and has been nominated for two Golden Globe awards. Great success can sometimes come at a high cost.
