Sean Penn halts divorce

Sean Penn's hopes to rekindle marriage with wife Robin Wright Penn

Poor Petra Nemcova will be heartbroken – Sean Penn has reportedly filed to dismiss the divorce he requested in December to try again with Robin Wright Penn.

The news may come as a blow to Nemcova, who was seen accompanying the star to a string of Hollywood parties, where Penn described her as ‘totally f***ing cool’.

But it’s good news for the couple, who have been married for 11 years. The pair were last week spotted at an Eddie Vedder concert in San Francisco, according to Extra, which first reported the withdrawal of divorce papers.

Penn initially filed for divorce from his wife on 7 December in Marin County, California Superior Court, though his petition was later dismissed. Three days later, Wright Penn filed her own paperwork. Their first hearing was scheduled for 21 April.

The couple has two children, Hopper Jack, 14, and Dylan Frances, 17.
