Why Robin Wright Still Believes in Love After 3 Divorces

Robin Wright is a “romantic” and an inspiration who still believes in love — despite three divorces.

“You can go through tumultuous, distressing relationships, but we rebound, don’t we?” Wright, 59, told AARP The Magazine in a Thursday, September 18, interview. “Our hearts rebound with a belief that it’s still there and it can be achieved and how wonderful when it comes again.”

Wright has been married three times. She tied the knot with the late Dane Witherspoon in 1986 but the pair divorced two years later. She later wed Sean Penn in 1996, and the twosome welcomed their children, daughter Dylan and son Hopper, in 1991 and 1993, respectively. In 2018, Wright married Clement Giraudet. She filed for divorce in 2022, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split. Wright was also twice engaged to Ben Foster until they split for good in 2015.

Wright began dating British-Australian architect Henry Smith in 2024. The Princess Bride star revealed to The Times of London in August that the couple met in a pub when she asked to feed his dog, Rusty, a piece of her steak.

“[Another stranger] goes, ‘No, it’s not my dog, it’s his dog,’” Wright recalled to the outlet, pointing at Smith. “And Henry was standing at the bar, and he put his pint down, came over to me and grabbed my shoulders. He goes, ‘Who the f*** are you?’ And I said, ‘Who the f*** are you?’ And that was it.”

The duo then quickly bonded when they caught COVID-19 together. “We were lying in bed, deathly ill, crying, laughing, hugging, loving, snogging, f***ing,” she said. “Just like, ‘I want to know you.’”

According to Wright, Smith had no idea about her Hollywood status, and was simply attracted to her “Nordic goddess beauty.”

“He is a sweetheart and just a good, decent adult,” she added. “He’s a man.”

Wright and Smith have since made the move to London and are currently renting a property on the English seaside. Wright called the relocation a “liberating,” one, saying “Be done with searching, looking and getting 60 percent of what you wanted.”

Despite being head over heels for Smith, Wright has no plans of walking down the aisle a fourth time, calling the idea “unnecessary.”

“I love being alone and I’ve done that many times,” she told The Times. “But I’m, like, ‘I want to grow old with somebody, and travel and see the world’.”

Old flames! Sean Penn and ex-wife Robin Wright were spotted out together for the first time in years after their splits from Leila George and Clément Giraudet, respectively. Over the weekend, Penn, 62, and Wright, 56, were seen carrying luggage together at the Los Angeles International Airport in photos obtained by Page Six on Monday, January […]

Another husband might not be in the cards, but what Wright wants from a long term romantic partner is crystal clear.

“I don’t want to worry anymore,” the Girlfriend star explained to AARP on Thursday. “I don’t want to doubt, I don’t want to suspect. I don’t want all those things that we did in our 20s. I can’t imagine feeling again what I felt then, which was jealous, suspicious. You grow out of it like you grow out of a pair of pants.”
