Tim Robbins filed for divorce this week after getting secretly married to his girlfriend Gartiela Brancusi.
TMZ first reported that the actor filed legal documents in Los Angeles on Wednesday to terminate a relationship the public never knew he was in. While it's been rumored that he and Brancusi have been dating for around three years, the pair have never confirmed they were dating, let alone married. The pair were first linked in February 2018 when Robbins brought Brancusi as his date to the premiere of his new show Here and Now, and the two have walked numerous red carpets together since. They were also spotted out several times together with Robbins's children, including at a hockey game in December 2019.
Robbins previously had a very lengthy, high-profile relationship with Susan Sarandon who he began dating in the late 80s after meeting on the set of Bull Durham. Despite never marrying, the couple were together for a little over two decades, breaking up in 2009, and have two adult sons together, Miles, 28, and John “Jack” Henry, 31. Sarandon also has a daughter, Eva Amurri Martino, from her prior relationship with director Franco Amurri, whom Robbins refers to as his daughter.
In 2010, Sarandon told The Telegraph that when she and Robbins broke up, “People were coming up to me in the street and saying, ‘I cried and cried when I heard.’ Well, I was sadder! I didn't think it would ever happen, either. You bring people into your life at certain times. Maybe you have a relationship to have children and you realize that it's fulfilled after that point.”
