Robin Wright Penn, whose relationship with Sean Penn has been on-again, off-again for the several years, says she has no plans to reconcile with the actor.

“I’d been stagnant,” the actress, best known for roles in The Princess Bride and Forrest Gump tells More magazine for its September issue, on sale Aug. 25. “I think I’ve always been waiting for things to happen. Now I’m like, ‘I’m okay – I know the direction, whoever’s on board can go with me.”

One person who won’t likely be onboard is Penn. Together since 1989 and married in 1996, the couple endured a roller-coaster relationship only to file papers of legal separation not once, but twice – only to patch things up again as recently as May.

But that was then, not now. “I hit that crossroad a while ago,” Wright Penn says. “I know what I don’t want.”
 What she does want is to re-activate her career. “There’s no limbo anymore,” she says. “There’s no time. I’m too old for this s—.”

Regarding her much-discussed marriage, friends tell More that what the couple had was a “peculiar chemistry. For her part, Wright Penn tenders no regrets.


”I, we, have two amazing children we raised together,” she says. Daughter Dylan Frances, 18, is headed off to college, with son Hopper Jack, 16, preparing to follow suit – which will leave mom with an empty nest.

“At least twice a week, I pull over and sob,” she says. “My baby is leaving. It’s an emotionally full time, but it’s not sad. I can’t wait for Dylan to go [out and] live. That’s what makes me cry.”

Are Sean Penn and Robin Wright Penn reconciling again?

The Oscar-winning actor filed a request Tuesday to dismiss his legal separation case, Marin County, Calif., court records show.

“This appears to imply that they’re reconciling again,” says L.A. divorce lawyer Lynn Soodik, who is not involved with the case. “It’s unlikely Sean Penn would request a dismissal for any other reason.”

This is the second time the actor has rescinded divorce papers. Penn, 48, and Wright Penn, 43, started divorce proceedings in December 2007 after 11 years of marriage.

But they put the brakes on their divorce action four months later, in April 2008, when a court clerk dismissed the divorce petition at their request.

A lawyer for Sean Penn didn’t immediately return a call for comment. Wright Penn has been at the Cannes Film Festival, where she’s a member of the jury, since last week. She attended the amfAR Cinema Against AIDS benefit on May 21.

Sean Penn has filed for “legal separation with minor children” from his wife of 13 years, actress Robin Wright Penn.

He filed the papers last Friday, Extra first reported.

Penn, 48, initially filed for divorce in December 2007, but his petition was later dismissed. Three days later, Wright Penn, 43, filed her own paperwork.

But in April 2008, the couple’s divorce petition was dismissed at their request.

They attended February’s Academy Awards, where Penn won his second Best Actor Oscar for his role as gay rights activist Harvey Milk.

He did not thank Wright Penn — with whom he has two children, Dylan, 18, and Hopper Jack, 15 — while accepting his award.

After the show, he told Oprah Winfrey that his gratitude for his wife was “implicit.”

“I wanted to keep things focused on the professional team around this movie,” he explained. “Because with Robin comes my mother and my son and my daughter, and half of them will punish me if I mention them.”
