I tend to believe that Robin Wright and Sean Penn’s kids are split on gender lines – Dylan Penn is her mother’s daughter and Hopper Penn is tight with his dad (possibly because Hopper is a chip off the ol’ block). But this week’s Star Magazine claims that Robin is still involved with both her children, to the point where she’s trying to turn them against Sean Penn’s lover, Charlize Theron. The tabloids have tried to make this into a thing before – remember the story of Chuckles Theron? Yeah. And while Sean and Robin have been taking public shots at each other for months, I’m not sure if I believe it goes this far:

Insiders tell Star that Sean Penn’s ex-wife Robin Wright “absolutely despises” his new love, Charlize Theron – and isn’t shy about venting to her kids.

“Charlize has no relationship with Hopper and Dylan, because Robin won’t allow it,” a close friend reveals. “Robin tells them what a snob Charlize is and likes to point out how much time Sean spends with Charlize’s son. It’s really twisted.”

Despite moving on with Ben Foster, Robin still wants to be seen as the jilted spouse. “Robin and Sean had already split up when he and Charlize got together, but to Robin, Charlize is still the Other Woman… she might say she has respect for Sean, but behind closed doors, it’s a very different story.”

As I said, there’s no “behind closed doors” here. Robin came right out and said Ben Foster was a better lover than Sean. Sean has been throwing shade at Robin in interview after interview too. They are very public in their distaste for each other. And I honestly believe that Robin has perfected her Icy Bitch Realness to the point where she wouldn’t even deign to acknowledge Charlize’s presence. Or perhaps Robin does acknowledge it with perfectly executed passive-aggressive comments, like “Maybe Charlize will be able to help him become a better lover and a better man. Bless her heart.” As for the situation with the kids – Dylan and Hopper aren’t little kids, you know? Dylan is 24 and Hopper is 21. They’re old enough to make their own decisions about Daddy’s New Girlfriend.
