Splitting from her longtime partner, Tim Robbins, three months ago has left Susan Sarandon with some mixed – but hopeful – feelings.

“I did a movie a long time ago where I had to fly in a glider,” the Oscar-winner, 63, tells Entertainment Weekly in its new issue. “You get towed up in the air by a plane, and it’s loud and annoying. And at some point you pull the cord and you’re suddenly floating, and in your mind it makes absolutely no sense. But it’s exhilarating and terrifying at the same time. That’s where I am now.”

But Sarandon, who called it quits with Robbins in December, hasn’t let that fear change her outlook on courtship – or love.

“It’s a long time to not be dating and then go back into it,” she says, while also remaining tight-lipped about a rumored romance with Jonathan Bricklin, 31, a partner in her New York ping-pong club, SPiN.

“I certainly love the idea of being in love, and I love the idea of companionship,” she adds. “Whatever happens next in terms of romance and partners, I don’t know.”

The actress, who told People in March that the secret to staying young was being happy, seems to have found another mantra to live by.

“I think the point is just keep moving,” she tells EW, “and to just say yes to life.”

Two weeks after announcing her split from longtime partner Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon is not slowing down: In fact, the 63-year-old single star has been spotted out at several New York City nightspots.

One of Sarandon’s favorite hotspots is SPiN, the ping-pong club where she’s an investor. On Tuesday night, she strolled into the place just before 8:00 p.m., wearing a slouchy black newsboy cap and sneakers to chat with one of her partners at the lounge, Jonathan Bricklin, and a few friends. Rumors have swirled of a romance between Sarandon and 32-year-old Bricklin, but reps for both have denied it. Still, Sarandon seems to be enjoying the single life.

Here’s how she’s surviving the break-up!

Hanging out with Younger Guys
Sarandon spends a lot of evenings hanging out at her club SPiN with the young crowd that frequents the place – including Bricklin. On Tuesday, she popped in for just 20 minutes before she was out the door – perhaps to check out another late night hotspot.

Staying Out Late
On Dec. 28, Sarandon was spotted at Manhattan’s Creperie, a tiny crepe joint in the West Village. The same night, she and Bricklin, checked out Mermaid Oyster Bar, a casual seafood restaurant just down the street. The kitchen was closed – so they just had drinks. “He drank two Jamesons and she had tequila,” says a source. They left at around 1:30 am.

Flirting with Dave Letterman
On Dec. 22 – one day before announcing her split from Robbins – Sarandon appeared on The Late Show with Dave Letterman to promote her upcoming role in The Lovely Bones. She chatted about her two Pomeranians and learning to pole dance with her daughter, Eva, who learned the skill for a guest spot on Californication – and Sarandon showed off a new tattoo around her wrist.

With her late night prowling, maybe 63 really is the new 30.

Susan Sarandon is moving on.

The newly single actress, 63, was seen looking “quite happy” in the company of a “younger-looking fellow” around 2 a.m. Monday, New York’s Daily News reports.

“They shared a crepe with Nutella and whipped cream,” an eyewitness says of Sarandon’s late night bite at the Creperie in Manhattan’s West Village. “[They] stayed and chatted for a while.”

On Dec. 23, Sarandon’s rep confirmed to UsMagazine.com that, over the summer, the actress had split from actor Tim Robbins after 23 years together.

Sarandon and Robbins, 51, have two sons: Jack Henry, 20, and Miles Guthrie, 17. (Sarandon has a daughter Eva Amurri, 24, from a previous relationship with Italian director Franco Amurri.)

In 2004, Sarandon said of her partnership with Robbins, “We fight strongly but fairly. I can’t say that it is always comfortable, but he is my really good friend.”

This is totally sad! Who’s next Goldie & Kurt?

After more than two decades together, Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins have split, UsMagazine.com has confirmed.

“Actress Susan Sarandon and her partner of 23 years, actor Tim Robbins have announced that they separated over the summer,” her rep Teal Cannaday tells Us. “No further comments will be made.”

The two — both known for sharing liberal political views — met on the set of the 1988 baseball comedy Bull Durham.

They have two sons: Jack Henry, 20, and Miles Guthrie, 17. (Sarandon has a daughter Eva Amurri, 24, from a previous relationship with Italian director Franco Amurri.)

At recent events, Sarandon, 63, declined to answer questions about Robbins, 51.

In 2004, she gushed to the Times of London, “He is a guy guy, and he is also 12 years younger than me. I won’t marry because I am too afraid of taking him for granted or him taking me for granted — maybe it will be a good excuse for a party when I am 80. Our children and property bind us, but so does the battle. We fight strongly but fairly. I can’t say that it is always comfortable, but he is my really good friend.”

One of Hollywood’s most enduring relationships has ended – Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins have broken up after more than two decades together, People has learned exclusively.

“Actress Susan Sarandon and her partner of 23 years, actor Tim Robbins have announced that they separated over the summer,” her rep Teal Cannaday tells People in a statement. “No further comments will be made.”

The couple met on the set of Bull Durham, and they have two sons together, Jack, 20, and Miles, 17.

Sarandon, 63, was previously married to Chris Sarandon, whom she met in college. The actress also dated director Franco Amurri in the mid ’80s. The two had a daughter, Eva Amurri, in 1985. (Amurri is also an actress; she most recently appeared in Showtime’s Californication).

Sarandon and Robbins, 51, were admired for their long relationship in the face of the pressures of show business, their much-discussed age difference – he’s 12 years younger – and that they never married.

“I won’t marry because I am too afraid of taking him for granted or him taking me for granted – maybe it will be a good excuse for a party when I am 80,” Sarandon has said in the past.

Both famous liberal activists, they have never been too political at home with their children. “I’ve never tried to force [politics] on them,” the actress tells Psychologies magazine in its January issue, but adds that the election of President Barack Obama “got them excited.”

The family all attended the inauguration in January, though Sarandon insists “our dinner table conversations are rarely political.”
