Natalie Portman Says She’s Not Dating Sean Penn

Natalie Portman, 27, has spoken out against rumours that she is dating 48-year-old Sean Penn.

She tells Extra:

“Sean Penn is a friend and colleague. The reports that we are romantically involved are completely untrue. I normally do not respond to rumors about my private life, however, this repeatedly fabricated story has forced me to do so.”

Penn, 48, recently filed for legal separation from his wife of 13 years, Robin Wright Penn. Tabloid rumors stated that Natalie and Sean were spotted “making out” at West Hollywood’s Sunset Tower Hotel in March.
