Sean Penn and Robin Wright Penn Divorcing

Sean Penn and wife Robin Wright Penn are divorcing, their rep, Mara Buxbaum, confirms to PEOPLE exclusively.

No other details were immediately available. The couple, who've been married 11 years, have two children together, Hopper Jack, 14, and Dylan Frances, 16.

Penn, 47, and Wright, 41, began dating in the early '90s and married in 1996. They also have starred together in several films, including 1998's Hurlyburly and 1997's She's So Lovely, directed by Nick Cassavetes.

"Marriage ain't easy, but it's great most of the time," Penn told Entertainment Weekly in 1997. "I love Robin. I've always loved her."

In the same article, Cassavetes was asked about working with the couple. "The beginning and the end of every day is how Sean and Robin are getting along," he said. "If they have a bad morning, Sean's broken up about it."

Penn's most recent film, Into the Wild, which he directed, is drawing awards buzz, with four SAG Award nominations and two Golden Globe nods.

Divorce papers have been filed in Sean Penn and Robin Wright Penn's separation – with the actor and actress both filing papers on separate occasions.

Sean Penn initially filed for divorce from his wife in Marin County, Calif., Superior Court on Dec. 7 – but the petition was later dismissed.

Three days after that, Robin Wright Penn filed her own paperwork.

Penn's divorce papers list Nov. 30 as the date of their separation. Wright's petition, filed Dec. 21, say they separated Dec. 1. Both list "irreconcilable differences" as the reason and ask for joint legal and physical custody of their two teenagers, Hopper Jack, 14, and Dylan Frances, 16.

The couple are scheduled to have a hearing on the case April 21.

So, so sad. Not that I know anything about their relationship, but he seems like a disturbed and angry man most of the time.

Nothing in Hollywood suprises me anymore. What a shame though. 11yrs is a long time for a celebrity marriage.

That is so sad - they have been together for even longer - like 15 years or something. She is still so gorgeous, wow!
