Robin Wright avoids question on staying friends with exes

Robin Wright admitted on The Ellen DeGeneres Show this week that she is iffy on being amicable with her exes. 

Guest host Chelsea Handler was playing a game on the show where she listed actions and Robin would have to hold up a sign saying: ‘So Wrong,’ or: ‘So Wright.’

The two phrases were on opposite sides of the same sign so when Chelsea said: ‘Staying friends with your ex,’ Robin flipped back and forth between both sides.

‘Ugh, depends on the…’ said Robin before trailing off, and then eventually pointed the edge of the sign at the screen so that neither side was facing it.  

Meanwhile Chelsea unequivocally supported being friendly with exes, while DJ Twitch who is a mainstay on the show agreed with Robin.

Robin’s first husband was actor Dane Witherspoon and she is currently married to French fashion executive Clement Giraudet whom she wed in 2018.

However her most famous marriage was her second one to Sean Penn, 60, who last year tied the knot with actress Leila George, 29.

Leila’s parents are both also in the acting profession – her mother Greta Scacchi is Sean’s age and her father Vincent D’Onofrio is just one year older. 

Robin and Sean were married from 1996 until 2010 and share two children who are right around Leila’s age – daughter Dylan, 30, and son Hopper, 27.

Their relationship was infamously turbulent with multiple breakups and reconciliations before they finally split for good.

‘Divorce in and of itself, and with children, is devastating,’ the Forrest Gump actress told Us Weekly years after the marriage ended.

‘One of the reasons why we got back together and broke up so much was trying to keep the family together. If you’ve got kids, it’s a family, and you try again, and you try again. We did that for a long time.’

Sean said in 2012: ‘There is no shame in my saying that we all want to be loved by someone. As I look back over my life in romance, I don’t feel I’ve ever had that.’ 

He told Esquire: ‘I have been the only one that was unaware of the fraud in a few of these circumstances blindly. When you get divorced, all the truths that come out, you sit there and you go, What the f*** was I doing? What was I doing believing that this person was invested in this way?’ 

Meanwhile Chelsea’s dating history includes Ted Harbert, whom she began seeing in 2006, the year she began her talk show on E! whose parent company he headed.

‘He asked me at the Chelsea Handler Show wrap party to dance, and I was like: “With who?”‘ she told Entertainment Weekly in 2008.

‘I thought if I dance with the president of the network everyone is gonna make fun of me. [But] once I got over it, everyone else got over it.’

Last year after her onetime boyfriend 50 Cent tweeted an endorsement of Donald Trump ahead of the election she tweeted: ‘You used to be my favorite ex.’

Chelsea then controversially said on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon that she criticized 50 Cent because ‘I had to remind him that he was a black person.’

Shortly thereafter she went on The View and said she had spoken to her ex on the phone and he revealed he ‘wasn’t serious’ about voting Trump, was ‘just screwing around on his Twitter’ and was for Joe Biden.

In the past Chelsea has also dated hotelier Andre Balazs who was once involved with Uma Thurman and has also been married to former Ford Models CEO Katie Ford.
