Sean Penn calls off divorce for a second time

“It was an arrogant mistake,” Penn told the newspaper.

It is not the first time that Penn,48,and Wright Penn,43,have teetered on the brink of divorce.

The couple started divorce proceedings in December 2007 but got back together again a few months later and withdrew the petition. The couple have two children,aged 18 and 15.

Penn won his second best-actor Oscar in February for his role as slain gay activist Harvey Milk in the movie “Milk”.

Wright Penn,who starred in the 1999 romantic drama “Message in a Bottle”,is currently in France where she is a juror at the Cannes Film Festival.

A representative for the actress was declining to comment.
