Is Sean Penn Refusing To Accept Divorce From Leila George? 

According to the National Enquirer, Sean Penn can’t believe Leila George wants a divorce after only a year of marriage. Sources claim Penn “is blaming himself for his marriage failing, and he’s pretty down about it.”

In fact, one insider says Penn is refusing “to believe it’s over” because he’s apparently “still wearing his wedding ring.” However, insiders close to the actor note there’s a “fat chance” George will ever get back together with him.

Regarding what caused the divorce, insiders allege Penn’s busy work schedule drove George to the edge. “Truth is, he took on all these projects and movies and didn’t have much time for Leila.” With all the time spent apart, George finally “got fed up” with Penn.

Another factor that led to the divorce was George’s desire to start a family. Penn was against this, according to the source. “It was important to Leila to start a family with Sean, but he was done with all that,” the insider remarks.

Olsen’s lawyer even stated, “Everything is resolved,” back in January, but the outlet disregarded the truth.
