Susan Sarandon

Sarandon began dating actor Chris Sarandon while they were both students at The Catholic University of America. The couple married in 1967. Their marriage lasted until 1979, after which they divorced. Sarandon has described her early marriage as difficult but has clarified that her subsequent relationship with French director Louis Malle was not the cause of the separation.

Relationships and Family Life

Following her divorce, Sarandon entered a relationship with Louis Malle, and later with Italian filmmaker Franco Amurri. She and Amurri had a daughter, Eva Amurri, who would later pursue a career in acting. In 1988, Sarandon began a long-term relationship with actor Tim Robbins. The couple met while filming Bull Durham and had two sons together—Jack and Miles. Despite being together for 21 years, they never married. Sarandon later commented that not marrying was her way of preventing complacency in the relationship.

Their relationship ended in 2009. Rumors speculating that Robbins was experiencing a mid-life crisis were widespread, but Sarandon has downplayed the drama surrounding their separation. She has stated publicly that although the end of the relationship was significant, it was not marked by bitterness or regret.
