No, he isn’t. Speculation that the Hollywood star may be dating a man started doing the rounds after he was recently spotted holding hands with his 30-year-old girlfriend in Santa Monica, California.
Some people assumed he was dating a man because Valeria Nicov has an athletic build. Such assumptions are often made about celebrities with strong physiques.
The 65-year-old American actor is said to have started dating Valeria Nicov, an Eastern European from Moldova, in 2024.
She wasn’t married or famously linked to anyone before she started dating Sean Penn. According to some reports, she is friends with French actress Camille Razat, who plays Camille in the Netflix show Emily in Paris.
Valeria has mainly appeared in indie films and TV shows, including a small role in Emily in Paris.
