Actor Sean Penn was spotted at the Los Angeles airport on Thursday with his new girlfriend Valeria Nicov, who is 44 years his junior. The pair landed at Terminal 3 and at first glance looked more like a grandfather and granddaughter than a couple.
The two-time Oscar winner wore khaki pocket squares with a shirt and jacket, and his Moldovan-born partner also went for comfort, this time in a black and white combination. Divorced three times, Penn has been unable to establish long-term relationships with women in recent years, and in addition, he chooses younger and younger women.
His current girlfriend is a model who speaks fluent French and is younger than both of the actor’s children – daughter Dylan (33) and son Hopper Jack (31), who he conceived during his marriage to fellow actress Robin Wright. You will certainly remember well as Jenny from Forrest Gump. His first wife was the singer Madonna and the third was the actress Leila George.
In June, Penn publicly vowed to stay single even though he was in a relationship to avoid further disappointment. “I’m just free. If I’m in a relationship, I’ll still be single, or I’ll just not be in it,” Penn told the New York Times. And he added: “It won’t hurt me. I don’t mean to be heartbroken again.” The actor also clarified that he avoids drama and relationship scenes.
After all, he is truly blessed with experience with famous women. In the past, he also formed a couple with Elizabeth McGovern, Susan Sarandon, Brigitte Nielsen, Emily Lloyd, Jewel, Petra Nemcová, Jessica White, Scarlett Johansson, Charlize Theron, Shannon Costello, Olga Korotyaeva or Nathalia Kelley.
