Robin Wright has talked about what she doesn’t want in a man after divorces from Dane Witherspoon, Sean Penn and Clement Giraudet as well as two broken engagements to Ben Foster.
The 59-year-old told AARP’s Movies for Grownups has shared the stress of wondering if a lover will cheat on her is too much.
‘I don’t want to worry anymore. I don’t want to doubt, I don’t want to suspect. I don’t want all those things that we did in our 20s,’ said the blonde.
‘I can’t imagine feeling again what I felt then, which was jealous, suspicious. You grow out of it like you grow out of a pair of pants.’
Wright was with Penn in her 20s: After meeting in 1990 (she was 24 years old at the time) and having an on-off relationship, they married in 1996.

The actress and Sean, who divorced in 2010, share kids Dylan Frances Penn, 34, and Hopper Jack Penn, 32 (L-R: Dylan, Robin, Hopper)
But she loves love.
‘I’m such a romantic,’ she said ‘You can go through tumultuous, distressing relationships, but we rebound, don’t we? Our hearts rebound with a belief that it’s still there and it can be achieved and how wonderful when it comes again.’
Earlier this month she said she had ‘finally’ found her ‘person’ however. The House Of Cards star has moved to the UK to set up home with architect Henry Smith, 52.
And she has admitted she’s smitten with new new man since meeting him in a pub several years ago but she has no plans to walk down the aisle again after three previous failed marriages.
She told The Times newspaper: ‘He is a sweetheart and just a good, decent adult. He’s a man… That’s exactly what I wanted.’
The siren said: ‘I’m turning 60 and I’m, like: ‘Is this it?’ I love being alone and I’ve done that many times. But I’m, like, I want to grow old with somebody, and travel and see the world…
‘It’s liberating to be done. Be done with searching, looking and getting 60 per cent of what you wanted.’
She was engaged to Ben Foster twice but they never made it down the aisle; seen in 2014

However, when asked if she will marry again, Robin said: ‘No. God no. Why? That’s just unnecessary.’
Robin was previously married to Dane Witherspoon, Penn – the father of her two children Dylan and Hopper – and Clement Giraudet while she was also engaged to Ben Foster twice but they never made it down the aisle.
The actress insisted she has now settled down for good, adding of Henry: ‘I’m seen and loved for who I am. It’s so relaxing.’
She has now been living with Henry in Britain for the last few years and they are currently planning to move to a new home by the coast.
Wright directed and stars in her latest project, the thriller series The Girlfriend, which premiered on Prime September 10.
In The Girlfriend, she’s a mom who does not take to her son’s love interest.
‘My character has the perfect son—she’s obsessed with him. When he brings home a new girlfriend, she’s suspicious. It evolves from there. As a mom [to Dylan, 34, and Hopper, 32], I’ve had that sixth sense of ‘not quite sure she’s great for my son…’ One banal thing and I’ve blown it out of proportion. But never to the extent of The Girlfriend… it’s a shocker,’ she told AARP.
She didn’t think her kids would ever go into showbiz.
Wright moved to England a few years ago where she met her British-born Australian boyfriend, Henry Smith (pictured in June)
‘My kids were on film sets their whole lives, and they said from a very young age, ‘I’ll never be an actor. I would never be in this business.’ And sure enough, they’re both actors now, and they’re both really good.
Her son, Hopper, gives her acting advice
‘My daughter, Dylan, worked with her dad [Sean Penn] in Flag Day, and Hopper and I did a movie together called Devil’s Peak. I thought it would be uncomfortable to work together, but it felt so natural! I played a crackhead, and he was directing me because he’s seen more of that. He was coaching me!’
She is also fine with turning 60 next year.
‘I don’t see it as the end of an era. It’s just another number that’s a little bit bigger. It hasn’t shifted me in any way because I feel like I did that shift when I was 50, where I said, “I’m going to do it my way.”‘
