In June, Sean Penn, 64, told The New York Times that he wanted to date freely and avoid heartbreak. ”I’m just free,” he explained. ”If I’m going to be in a relationship, I’m still going to be free, or I’m not going to be in it, and I’m not going to be hurting.” He added, ”I don’t sense I’ll have my heart broken by romance again.”
Fast forward to today, and Sean has embarked on a new chapter with his much younger girlfriend, Valeria Nicov.
The 64-year-old actor and his Moldovian girlfriend have been together since September, when they were spotted sharing a passionate kiss while strolling through the streets of Madrid.
