Robin Wright Opens Up About Her (Much) Younger Fiancé, Botox and Sean Penn

Robin Wright's character on House of Cards might keep her fair share of secrets, but the actress didn't hold anything back during a recent interview with London's Telegraph. The 47-year-old actress opened up about her recent engagement to Ben Foster, 33, even showing off a small "B" tattooed on her finger. "Ben has an 'R' tattoo in the same place," Wright said. "I've been so anti-tattoos my whole life. But doing this felt right because we're not traditional."

Robin Wright's character on House of Cards might keep her fair share of secrets, but the actress didn't hold anything back during a recent interview with London's Telegraph.

The 47-year-old actress opened up about her recent engagement to Ben Foster, 33, even showing off a small "B" tattooed on her finger. "Ben has an 'R' tattoo in the same place," Wright said. "I've been so anti-tattoos my whole life. But doing this felt right because we're not traditional."

TV shows we're losing this year

The couple met while working on the 2011 drama Rampart, about a year following her divorce from Sean Penn after 20 years together. "I'd never, ever been asked out on a date before," Wright said. "Never. I was frickin' married my whole life, and even before that I hadn't been asked out."

Wright called Foster's proposal "such a shock." "But we left married anyway," she said. "We've been together ever since the first date."

After divorcing Penn, who was her second husband after a two-year marriage to Dane Witherspoon, Wright thought she'd never marry again. She called her divorce from Penn "devastating. Divorce in and of itself, and with children, is devastating. Worse than that. One of the reasons why we got back together and broke up so much was trying to keep the family together. If you've got kids, it's a family, and you try again, and you try again. We did that for a long time."

Winter Olympics crying faces

Wright, who will star in A Most Wanted Man later this year, one of the last movies Philip Seymour Hoffman filmed before his death on Feb. 2, also admitted to using Botox. "Everybody f---ing does it. I suppose I can't say 'everybody' because I don't know for sure, but come on ..." Wright admitted. "It's just the tiniest sprinkle of Botox twice a year. I think most women do 10 units, but that freezes the face and you can't move it. This is just one unit, and it's just sprinkled here and there to take the edge off.

"Perhaps it's not wise to put that in a magazine? But I ain't hiding anything."
