Sean Penn and wife Robin Wright Penn are divorcing, their rep, Mara Buxbaum, confirms to PEOPLE exclusively.

No other details were immediately available. The couple, who've been married 11 years, have two children together, Hopper Jack, 14, and Dylan Frances, 16.

Penn, 47, and Wright, 41, began dating in the early '90s and married in 1996. They also have starred together in several films, including 1998's Hurlyburly and 1997's She's So Lovely, directed by Nick Cassavetes.

"Marriage ain't easy, but it's great most of the time," Penn told Entertainment Weekly in 1997. "I love Robin. I've always loved her."

In the same article, Cassavetes was asked about working with the couple. "The beginning and the end of every day is how Sean and Robin are getting along," he said. "If they have a bad morning, Sean's broken up about it."

Penn's most recent film, Into the Wild, which he directed, is drawing awards buzz, with four SAG Award nominations and two Golden Globe nods.

I have to admit, this one surprised me. Too bad for them, they seemed like a good couple.

I don't know what she ever saw in him. He is soooo full of himself, has such a bad temper, and is always on the prowl. Yuck.

Hopefully this will spark her to more work---I think she's quite talented.

 

[christina126]

This is sad. They were together for so long. They've broken up in the past so maybe they'll get back together again.

 

[Scott]

actually this is kind of surprising. they've been together for a while and they always seemed inseperable. at least by hollyhell standards.

 

[cosmogrl5]

Like the others, I am actually really surprised by this as well. They "seemed" like one of the rare Hollywood couples that were going to endure. Shame on me...nothing in Hollywood should surprise me anymore.

 

[Ferdinanda]

Wow. Never expected for this one to come from them.

 

[LUXXX]

I'm not surprised...he seems wayyy to intense to deal with on a regular basis...

Oh my! I had no idea that divorce had a busy season!

 

[Annabel]

Though that's sad, it makes sense. People don't want to rock the boat right before the holiday season.

 

[silk skin paws]

I like Sean Penn but I can't say that I'm surprised that they're divorcing.

 

[Spike413]

It's sad really. What does it say about our cuture when even a married couple who've been together over a decade, have gone through the new relationship drama and managed to seem somewhat normal by celeb couple standards can't even make it?

 

[Chaky]

I'm not surprised...he seems wayyy to intense to deal with on a regular basis...

Yes it's sad to see a marriage break up but Sean "I love Jude Law" Penn always seemed to have had a sense of humour bypass and strikes me as a difficult sort of person.
