Sean Penn calls off his divorce from Robin

Updated 14:48pm on 22 May 2009


Actors Sean Penn and his wife Robin Wright Penn appear to be calling off their divorce.

Oscar-winning Penn filed a request earlier this week to dismiss his legal separation case, according to court records. "This appears to imply that they're reconciling again," said LA divorce lawyer Lynn Soodik, who is not involved with the case.

On again: Robin Wright Penn and Sean Penn on the red carpet

"It's unlikely Sean Penn would request a dismissal for any other reason." It is the second time Penn, 48, has rescinded divorce papers. He and Wright Penn, 43, started divorce proceedings in December 2007 after 11 years of marriage.

But they cancelled the action four months later, before beginning proceedings again. The couple have two children - 13-year-old Dylan and 11-year-old Hopper. Penn was previously married to Madonna between 1985 and 1989.

I wonder who is the more temperamental of the two.
Perhaps they need to go underground and sort out their problems so we dont have to watch their rubbish unfold in the media.
