LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Oscar winning actor Sean Penn and his wife Robin's rocky marriage is headed for divorce for the third time, and this time it's Robin who has filed the court papers.

The "Message in a Bottle" actress, 43, filed for divorce last week in northern California where they reside citing irreconcilable differences, People magazine said on Tuesday.

The papers obtained by the celebrity magazine said Robin Wright Penn and her husband had agreed to share custody of their 16 year-old son Hopper Jack and divide their property.

In an interview in the September edition of More magazine, released on Tuesday, Penn said she did not plan to reconcile again. "I hit that crossroad a while ago. For Robin (she gestured toward herself), the 'I know what I don't want' was flashing neon lights."

"I have no regrets. I, we, have two amazing children we raised together," she added. The couple's oldest child Dylan Frances is 18.

The couple, who married in 1996, first started divorce proceedings in December 2007 but got back together again a few months later and withdrew the petition.

Earlier this year, Sean Penn filed for a legal separation but withdrew the request in May after a few weeks, calling his first action "an arrogant mistake."

I confess I know nothing about the woman. Does Robin have a brain that operates at, say, 30% capacity or more?

That right there would be an “irreconcilable difference” vs. Sean...

If Brett Favre and his wife ever got a divorce, this is what it would look like.

Gee, didn’t she know she was marrying a guy whose primary care physician is a proctologist when they were engaged?

No - “was” is correct.....she’s gotta be really filthy ‘inside’. The old saying applies, like with Madonna having done Rodman: “I wouldn’t do her with YOUR d*ck”
