Robin Wright Regrets Not Being ‘Hard Enough’ as a Parent, Calls Coparenting With Sean Penn ‘Both Extremes’

She says their opposite styles left no steady middle ground for their children.

Overview

  • The reflections come in a new interview with The Sunday Times published over the weekend.
  • Wright describes Penn as frequently away on set and returning as the “policeman,” after which she tried to soften the discipline.
  • She says the family moved from Hollywood to Ross, north of San Francisco, and she declined major roles to prioritize raising Dylan and Hopper.
  • Wright notes past family turmoil, including son Hopper’s addiction and rehab, and says both adult children are in a really good place now.
  • The pair met in 1990, married in 1996 and divorced in 2010; Wright later married Clément Giraudet and now says she is with British architect Henry Smith.
