Madonna gets nostalgic by posting an old picture with her ex-husband, Sean Penn, and the Internet starts wondering, is she missing him? The Queen of Pop turned 57 today.
Is Madonna missing Sean Penn? The answer is either yes or she is starting to get nostalgic about the good old days.
On Friday, Madonna uploaded a black and white photo on Instagram where Penn can be seen planting a kiss on the left cheek of the “Material Girl” diva.
The flashback pic was taken in 1988 by fashion photographer Herb Ritts at a charity event in Los Angeles. Madonna captioned the image with:
Its almost our birthdays!! 2 Leo’s ❤️#rebelhearts photo by Herb Ritts another Leo.
The “Like a Virgin” artist celebrates her birthday on August 16, while the Milk actor does it on August 17. The soon-to-be 55-year-old movie star was married to Madonna from 1985 to 1989.
The relationship was very tumultuous and covered from all possible angles by the media. After their divorce, Penn went on to marry actress Robin Wright from 1996 to 2010. Madonna was married to English filmmaker Guy Ritchie for eight years before a 2008 split. Penn has two children, and the businesswoman is a mother of four.
The political activist, who won two Academy Awards in his career, reflected in an interview with Esquire UK earlier this year on the things that went wrong in his relationship with Madonna and Wright. He shared:
“Initially, in a divorce, you kick and bite about the other person. But finally you’re looking at your failures to that person, to a marriage, to a friendship, to yourself during that time as well. Because no matter what the other person was or wasn’t, for better and for worse, it really has so little to do with the growth you need to find better circumstances. Almost exclusively it has to do with your own stuff.”
Sean Penn used the chit-chat to profess his love for then-fiancée, Charlize Theron, the pair called off their engagement in June. Here is how he described his current relationship with the “Like a Prayer” singer:
“I’m very friendly with my first ex-wife.”
Madonna’s nostalgic throwback photo proves that she probably feels the same way about her ex.
Does anyone care? Really…. seriously?
I think that when Madonna and Sean Penn were together they really were in Love. I think they divorced to hastily and it seem to me that both of them have not found the true love that had when they were together. They both seem to failed in their other relationship. I wish they both would get back together and just be happy. I think they both hurt each other and didn’t know how to put it back together, maybe now as time has gone by they will be able to be in Love like they first were and do it right like it was meant to be
Aren’t there real issues going in the world? On a side note, their relationship always makes me think of the Dick Tracy movie, despite Penn not being cast.
