Los Angeles (E! Online) - Sean Penn and Robin Wright Penn are entering a state of divorce.
The Hollywood twosome, who fell in love on the set of the 1990 thriller State of Grace and later married, are seeking a divorce after 11 years of marriage, according to People.
Penns longtime publicist, Mara Buxbaum, did not provide details on the split.
The 47-year-old actor-director and the 41-year-old Wright began dating a year or so after Penn ended his four-year union to Madonna in 1989.
The couple quickly hit it off and moved in together in 1991. They had two children, 16-year-old Dylan Frances and 14-year-old Hopper Jack, and finally tied the knot in 1996.
Penn, who has been making headlines in recent years as an outspoken critic of the Bush administration and the Iraq War, won an Academy Award for his stirring performance as a father whose child is murdered in 2003s Mystic River. He also scored Best Actor Oscar nominations for 1995s Dead Man Walking, 1999s Sweet and Lowdown and 2001s I Am Sam.
Aside from Grace, the Dallas-born Wright Penn costarred with her Oscar-winning hubby in 1997s Shes So Lovely and 1998s Hurly Burly, and they are reuniting in Barry Levinsons aptly titled Hollywood satire, What Just Happened? She has also appeared in two flicks Penn has helmed, 1995s The Crossing Guard and 2001s The Pledge, both starring Jack Nicholson.
The actress, who was married for two years to actor Dane Witherspoon, shot to fame playing the titular royal Buttercup in the 1987 hit The Princess Bride. She earned a Golden Globe nomination for Best Supporting Actress for her role in 1994s Forrest Gump.
Penns most recent directorial effort, Into The Wild, is currently being lauded by various critics groups as the best film of 2007, so far earning two Golden Globe nods and four Screen Actors Guild Award nominations.
