“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.”

The always-classy and tactful Susan Sarandon on the dissolution of her twenty-three year relationship with fellow actor Tim Robbins. May your relationship rest in piece, girl.

Talk about media pros!

After 23 years together, Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins — the original Ashton and Demi — broke up this summer. Their rep issued the following statement today:

“Actress Susan Sarandon and her partner of 23 years, actor Tim Robbins have announced that they separated over the summer. No further comments will be made.”

I wonder if they discussed this during their summer break-up. Like, “This sucks, but let’s wait until it’s basically Christmas Eve to announce it so it’s not a media firestorm.” That’s how you do it when you’ve been around the block a few times, I guess.

The couple have two sons together, Jack, 20, and Miles, 17.

I’m genuinely sorry to hear of their split, but, to be fair, they made it way longer than most married couples. That was an impressive run, you two! You should be proud of yourselves. The pic above is of the twosome at the 1989 Golden Globes.

Where was Ryan Gosling????

I thought they were back together!!!

Hopefully Ryan was just too busy with work to get to Toronto. I will be devastated if they’ve split up again.
