Robin Wright recently shared her feelings of regret regarding her co-parenting journey with her ex-husband, Sean Penn. The actress opened up about how she felt she could have been stricter with their children, resulting in challenges as they grew up.
Both of their children, Dylan and Hopper, faced struggles – with Hopper battling addiction and Dylan being rebellious in her younger years. Wright expressed the constant worry she felt as a mother when she didn’t know if her children were safe. Despite their difficulties, both Dylan and Hopper are now in a better place.
The actress also reflected on the differences in their parenting styles, with Penn being tougher on the kids but also less present due to his acting career. Wright, on the other hand, found herself softening the blow after Penn’s discipline, creating a lack of balance. This imbalance left the children without the stern guidance they needed.
Wright and Penn were married for 14 years before their divorce in 2010. Following their split, Wright had an on-and-off relationship with actor Ben Foster, which ultimately ended in 2020. Despite their past, Wright and Penn have managed to repair their friendship over time, with Penn emphasizing the challenges of rebuilding a relationship post-divorce, especially when children are involved.
Since their divorce, Penn has remarried and divorced actress Leila George. He shared his contentment with being single, highlighting his desire to maintain freedom in any future relationships.
