Robin Wright Penn has opened up about her split from husband Sean Penn, saying: “I know what I don’t want… I have no regrets.”

The 43-year-old actress made her comments in US magazine More, which went to press before the couple announced their plans to divorce - for the third time in less than two years after two attempts to reconcile.

Wright Penn, who has been married to the actor since 1996, says: “I hit that crossroad a while ago - for Robin [pointing her hand at herself] the ‘I know what I don’t want’ was flashing neon lights.

“I have no regrets, I, we have two amazing children we raised together.”

For the time being it seems like the end of the road for the Penns - the couple who split up and got back together twice before they even walked down the aisle.

In December 2007, they both filed for divorce citing irreconcilable differences. But they withdrew their positions four months later - only for Sean Penn to file for a legal separation earlier this year.

The two-time Oscar winner then withdrew his filing in May, calling it an “arrogant mistake.”

But in August the couple announced that their plans to divorce were back on.

Now the mother-of-two says she is on a new path, ready to reignite her acting career and even to move from San Francisco - her home for more than a decade - back to Los Angeles.
