Sean Penn is once again in the media spotlight. This time, he was caught being affectionate with actress Valeria Nicov, who is 38 years younger than him. The couple didn't shy away from showing affection during a Madrid walk, which paparazzi captured.

Sean Penn is known not only for his exceptional film roles but also for his numerous romances. In the mid-80s, the actor got involved with Madonna. The couple quickly decided to get married, but the marriage, marked by numerous quarrels and alcohol problems, ended in 1989. The star's second wife was the popular actress Robin Wright, whom he met on the set of the drama "State of Grace." During their 14-year marriage, they had two children. Penn’s next great love was Leila George, who was 32 years younger. Their marriage lasted just one year.

The Hollywood film star did not remain single for long. In 2023, he got involved with Ukrainian actress Olga Korotyayeva. Penn's new partner was "only" 17 years younger than him.

It looks like this relationship is also in the past. The latest paparazzi photos captured Penn with 26-year-old actress Valeria Nicov. The couple was walking through the streets of Madrid and did not hold back on the affection. The lovers not only held hands but also kissed frequently. The actor’s new friend whispered sweet nothings in his ear, and he reciprocated with passionate kisses. At one point, it got steamy, as seen in the photos below.

Valeria Nicov is an actress who is relatively unknown to a wider audience. American viewers might recognize her from the film The Kids Are Back. Only 16,000 people follow her profile on Instagram.

Do they make a nice couple?
