Scarlett Johansson Ends Whirlwind Romance With Sean Penn

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (1)

Scarlett Johansson has reportedly ended her whirlwind romance with Sean Penn after only four months. Scarlett, 26 and Sean, 50 quickly turned heads early this year when the two were spotted enjoying a meal in Los Angeles with Scarlett’s leg playfully set on Sean Penn’s lap. Days later the two were spotted in Cabo San Lucas. To further fuel the speculation of the unusual couple Scarlett and Sean turned up together at Reese Witherspoon’s wedding in March. After all the public sightings neither Sean nor Scarlett commented on the status of their relationship.

The intensity around Scarlett and Sean’s relationship reached a peak when rumors caught fire that Scarlett may be pregnant. The actress was spotted jogging with her beau Sean with what appeared to be a small tummy bulge. It was the only time that her publicist made a comment stating that the photos were “misleading”.

Scarlett and Sean were again spotted at the White House Correspondent dinner and after party. But alas the fast pace relationship that also speculated Scarlett moved in with Sean did not last.

People magazine reports that Scarlett Johansson and Sean Penn have called it quits. According to People, Scarlett was a no show at Cannes with Sean as he promoted his new film “The Tree of Life”. Scarlett has reportedly been working on “The Avengers” in New Mexico – which seems like a plausible excuse to be missing in action. But the bigger problem came when Sean was spotted getting cozy with young women other than Scarlett – we’re guessing the newly divorced Scarlett wasn’t very happy about that.

Did Scarlett Johansson relationship with Sean Penn ever have a real chance? What do you think of younger women dating older men?

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
