After the lengthy and very graphically detailed report put out by Peter Kent about how Penn had allegedly beaten Madonna, their relationship did in fact come to an end. But Madonna would later come to Penn’s defense when she told Entertainment Tonight that Kent’s report, and any reports that stemmed from it, were “entirely outrageous.”
She would go on to say that the reports were completely false. The two may have ended their romantic relationship, but they would later be able to cultivate a friendship after putting their troubled past behind them.
The Breaking Point
The way assistant staff described freeing Madonna from that situation in the report didn’t make matters any better for Penn. The article portrayed Madonna as being seriously distraught, with horrible marks all over her face from where he had hit her. One staff member claimed that poor Madonna’s mouth was actually “frothing,” when they found her.
According to Kent, Penn’s publicist pushed the incident under the rug, attributing it to “regular young couple stuff.” Even though it was all very far from the truth, it would prove to be the breaking point.
Private Affairs
After the alleged incident involving the chair, Madonna appeared to give Penn another chance. They carried on the relationship for a short while after, until Madonna filed for divorce again. But unlike the last time she had filed, when she withdrew the papers, she put her foot down and made sure everything went through.
Several reports speculate why the marriage was ended, but Madonna never really cleared things up for the public. She told reporters that there were some things the pair would like to keep private.
She's The One
When the holidays rolled around in December of 2013, Penn set his eyes on a new leading lady, and entered into a romance with the beautiful and talented Charlize Theron. This pairing seemed much more serious than some of his previous endeavors, such as his fling with Scarlett Johannsson, and rumors began to circulate about the two A-listers tying the knot.
But was there any truth to those rumors? Apparently, yes, as Sean confirmed the two were in fact, engaged. Penn very much wanted things with Theron to work out and was quoted as calling her the, “love of his life.”
Broken Hearts Club
Just as Sean felt that Charlize Theron was “the one,” she publicly went on record to say that she felt the same way, and that she was “lucky,” to have him. The two had been dating for 18 months when they announced they were engaged to be married, but things didn’t exactly pan out the way they were hoping for – at least, not for Sean.
Things between him and Theron started to become shaky, and eventually, the superstars went their separate ways. There were no hard feelings between the two, at least according to the public. Charlize brushed the entire thing off, saying that their relationship just, “didn’t work anymore.”
