After a year of marriage, Leila George seeks a divorce from Sean Penn.

One of Hollywood’s most renowned couples, Sean Penn and Leila George, divorced after just over a year of marriage and without having any children. A petition for dissolution was filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Friday, October 15 by the Australian actress Leila D’Onofrio, according to court records obtained by USA TODAY.

It was the summer of 2020 when Sean Penn (61), and Leila George (29), got married during the first quarantine of the coronavirus epidemic. A few weeks later, in August, their pals on Instagram congratulated them, and that’s when the news broke.

In a Late Night with Seth Meyers interview, Harvey Milk, the hero of Mystic River, My Name Is and 21 Grams, revealed his marriage.

While displaying her gold wedding band, she said, “We had a COVID-19 wedding.”

As it turned out, the wedding followed every social convention. Only Dylan and Hopper, the actor’s sons, were in attendance.

This would be Sean Penn’s third divorce, following his four-year marriage to Madonna in 1985 and his subsequent split from his second wife, Robin Wright, in 1996. Between 2013 and 2015, he was in a relationship with actress Charlize Theron.

It was made public in 2016 when Sean Penn began dating Leila George, the daughter of Greta Scacchi and Vincent D’Onofrio. The protagonist of Mortal Engines (2018) was involved in the Hollywood star’s non-profit organisation, Community Organized Relief Effort, during their relationship.
