Penn Puts Divorce Behind Him With London Date

SEAN PENN is moving on after his split from wife ROBIN WRIGHT PENN - he was spotted enjoying an intimate date with a woman during a trip to the U.K.

The Oscar-winning actor was handed divorce papers from his longtime actress partner in August (09) after the pair had reconciled several times following numerous break-ups.

They first began divorce proceedings in December 2007 only to officially end their separation four months later.

And in April (09), the actor filed papers for a “legal separation”, just days before the couple’s 13th wedding anniversary.

They went on to dismiss the bid a month later (May09), only for Wright Penn to kickstart proceedings again last month.

But it seems the Mystic River star is ready for romance - he was snapped on a candlelit dinner date with a mystery beauty at London’s Soho Hotel on Friday (04Sep09).

They were seen laughing and joking during the meal, with Penn even feeding his stunning date food from his own plate.
