Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins Split
Edited on Wed Dec-23-09 06:26 PM by Divine Discontent
Source: People

One of Hollywood's most enduring relationships has ended -- Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins have broken up after more than two decades together, PEOPLE has learned.

"Actress Susan Sarandon and her partner of 23 years, actor Tim Robbins have announced that they separated over the summer," her rep Teal Cannaday told PEOPLE in a statement. "No further comments will be made."

The couple met on the set of "Bull Durham," and they have two sons together, Jack, 20, and Miles, 17.

Sarandon, 63, was previously married to Chris Sarandon, whom she met in college. The actress also dated director Franco Amurri in the mid '80s. The two had a daughter, Eva Amurri, in 1985. (Amurri is also an actress; she most recently appeared in Showtime's "Californication.")

1. Two classy individuals.
I'm sure they'll be just fine. I wonder if the age difference finally played a role.

2. Tim probably wanted a younger woman or vice versa.....
Tough to be in Hollywood and stay together. A lot of opportunity.

I have much respect both of them for their commitment to progressive causes and their acting ability. Best wishes to both of them.

5. I am really sorry to hear this.
It's truly difficult to maintain such a relationship with the glare of publicity that follows them around.

I thought they'd accomplished that in their long relationship...

7. I saw Susan on The View yesterday
Edited on Wed Dec-23-09 06:45 PM by DesertRat
and she didn't mention Tim at all nor did the hosts, which I thought was odd. Susan showed off two tattoos and talked about how she likes to go to concerts with her kids.

It's sad to hear about their split after 23 years together.

9. so check out the photo in that article
Susan: hot. Robbins: not.

Hard to believe she's 12 years older than he is, it looks the other way round.

13. For all who say Robbins is creepy looking...
you are obviously not single and dating in his age pool, as I am. I will take Tim Robbins any day of the week. Cute, funny, politically astute = my dream man!!

I'm very sorry to hear of this split, as they have been so good together for so long in so many ways, but as they say, the only constant in life is change. May their lives apart be as fruitful as their lives were together! :toast:

And seriously, Tim, if you're looking for a socially conscious, down-to-earth younger woman (by 6 years), pm me and I'll give you my phone number! :loveya:

23. Thank you!
Reading some comments, I was beginning to lose confidence in my taste in men.

I think he's very good looking - baby faced!

14. No! The only reason he became an actor was to marry Susan Sarandon.
He saw her in Rocky Horror as a student and fell in love.

20. Correct. OK. The only reason he became an actor was to win over Susan Sarandon.

18. 23 years is a good run.
It's more than most humans in recorded history had together.

25. We should know better, if only looking at some of our own attitudes
and behaviour, but, alas, while not precluding it, a person's espousal of progressive politics is not a guarantee of character.

28. He probably woke up one day and realized how old she was.
When that estrogen stops, we go south. I know.
