Rumours continue to circulate about Sean Penn's (64) relationship with his partner, Moldovan model Valeria Nikov, who is 30 years younger. The couple was spotted at the airport after returning to Los Angeles, and journalists began speculating about one aspect of their relationship.

The passionate romance between the Moldovan model and the renowned actor became a hot topic after Valeria Nikov, who is more than twice as young as Penn, was seen showing affection towards him in front of cameras in Madrid.

Although the Hollywood star is significantly older than the stunning model, and as noted by the Daily Mail, she is younger than his own children, another notable difference between the couple draws journalists' attention.

This difference concerns height. In photos taken at LAX airport last Thursday, October 3, it's clearly noticeable that the statuesque Moldovan actress towers over her partner.

Sean Penn also seems indifferent to stability in relationships. In an interview, he openly confessed that freedom is his most important value.

"If I'm going to be in a relationship, I'm still going to be free, or I'm not going to be in it, and I'm not going to be hurting," Sean declared in an interview with the "New York Times".

It's no secret that the famous actor from the film "Milk" is fond of romantic affairs. In the past, the 64-year-old was married to Madonna (1985-1989) and Robin Wright (1996-2010). With the latter, he has two children: daughter Dylan (32 years old) and son Hopper (29 years old).

He was in a relationship with his third wife, Australian actress Leila George, starting in 2020. The couple divorced after just one year of marriage.
