The ‘Flag Day’ actor and his wife Leila George, who’s also Vincent D’Onofrio’s daughter, have split as she files for divorce in Los Angeles after one year of marriage.
AceShowbiz –Sean Penn‘s wife, Leila George, has filed for divorce.
The actor, 61, wed the 28-year-old beauty on 30 July 2020, but just over one year into their marriage Leila has filed to legally end their union.
According to TMZ, the Australian actress – who is the daughter of Vincent D’Onofrio – filed divorce papers on Friday (15Oct21) in Los Angeles County Superior Court.

The news comes following reports Sean had to “win back” Leila, with whom he’s been in an on-off relationship since 2016. Things continued that way for several years until the last time they went their separate ways, which prompted the “Flag Day” star to “work hard” on fixing their bond.
A source said, “Leila has been in Sean’s life for a while. They got together and then they broke up, and Sean won her back.”
“He realised he had made a mistake and when he felt he might lose her, he worked hard to get her back.”
The couple isolated together amid the coronavirus pandemic and it was alleged lockdown helped strengthen their relationship and made them realise their future together.
The insider added, “They got back together during COVID and became really close and got engaged a few months ago, early during quarantine.”
Sean – who has children Dylan, 30, and Hopper, 28, with ex-wife Robin Wright, and was also previously married to Madonna – recently revealed he and Leila married over Zoom, with the officiant carrying out proceedings via video link.
He said, “We did a COVID wedding. By that, I mean it was a county commissioner on Zoom and we were at the house with my two children and her brother, and we did it that way.”
