AceShowbiz - Sean Penn, 64, and his girlfriend Valeria Nicov, 30, stole the spotlight at the Marrakech International Film Festival on Saturday, November 30. Penn, dressed in a classic suit and tie, was joined by Nicov, who stunned in a strapless black gown.
The event honored Penn for his acclaimed career as an actor and director. During his acceptance speech, Penn urged attendees to "be as politically incorrect as their heart desires."
The couple, who went public with their romance in September after being spotted kissing in Madrid, shared a tender moment on the red carpet, as they posed for the shutterbugs.
At the festival, Penn and Nicov joined an impressive guest list that included Monica Bellucci, Tim Burton, and Andrew Garfield. Their elegant attire reminiscent of Old Hollywood glamour caught the attention of all.
Their appearance marks a significant milestone in Penn's personal life, following his divorce from Leila George in 2022. Penn has been married three times previously, including to Madonna and Robin Wright, with whom he shares two children.
After his divorce from George, Penn briefly dated Nathalie Kelley and Olga Korotyayeva. He previously expressed a desire to remain single and in a relationship that allowed him freedom, casting doubt on whether he will get married again despite his blossoming romance with Nicov who is half his age.
