Sean Penn and
Scarlett Johansson have reportedly split up just six months after they started dating.
According to People.com, 50-year-old Penn and 26-year-old Johansson have gone their separate ways having begun their brief romance in January.
Doubts grew over the long-term future of the couple when Scarlett failed to support Sean at the Cannes Film Festival last month, where his film Tree of Life was being shown.
It was reported that she was concentrating on filming her role in The Avengers, which is being made in Mexico.
Reasons have not been given for the apparent split, although they were recently seen together when they attended a White House Correspondents’ dinner party in Washington in April.
They had also been seen around Los Angeles on a number of cosy dates, which built up hopes that they had a long-term future together.
It was even rumoured that the pair were moving in together, just a few months after Scarlett split from her then husband Ryan Reynolds.
‘Scarlett first reached out to Sean when she was planning to visit Haiti with Oxfam. She knew Sean was living there in a tent and turned to him for advice,’ a source recently said.
