Natalie Portman has been linked to Sean Penn - just weeks after he filed for divorce from his wife of almost 13 years, Robin Wright Penn.

The Milk star filed legal papers to end his marriage last month after their attempt at reconciliation failed - but now Star magazine is claiming his growing relationship with Natalie also played a part.

A source told the magazine that the pair have been together since at least 17th March, when they were spotted kissing at the Sunset Tower Hotel’s Tower Bar and Robin was “furious” when she found out.

But the source added that Sean is besotted with the V for Vendetta actress: “She stimulates him in ways no other person has, mentally or professionally.

“There’s a lot more there with Natalie than any of the other girls Sean’s been with.”
