Sarandon's rep, Teal Cannaday, confirms the news to PEOPLE, saying: "Actress Susan Sarandon and her partner of 23 years, actor Tim Robbins have announced that they separated over the summer."
Sarandon, 63, and Robbins, 51, began dating in 1988 after meeting on the set of 'Bull Durham.' They have two sons together: Jack Henry, who is now 20, and Miles Guthrie, 17.
During their time together, Sarandon and Robbins became known as much for their activism as they were for their acting. During the 2000s, they became outspoken critics of President George W. Bush and the Iraq war.
Sarandon is currently promoting her new film, 'The Lovely Bones.'
When Tim Met Susan: A Seductive Scene From 'Bull Durham':
Actually, you are probably a left wing gay dude & that is why you defend the Left Wing Wacko's. But, it's okay if we are in Cargo, at least We have a place & if Susan & Tim are in first class, I won't want to be there. You think they are First Class, huh? How sad for you.
Good actors but both believe their world views are more important than they are they are the typical self important Hollywood types. I believe they were also big John Edwards supporters how'd that work out I guess they can spot real character when they see it.
I'd like to see Tim in some good movies again; as for Susan, who cares? Her liberal ideas crucified her, as far as my vote is concerned. At least he was the more silent side of the couple.
You mean these two left-wing nut jobs have turned themselves loose on America?! God -I know she's too old to spawn- hope he can't procreate any more idiots like himself.
Susan Sarandon's filmed a few movies in my area..and I've been told she's a major b__ch...Tim probably wised up and realized he wanted to be happy in his golden years.
Left wing. Right wing. They are all whack jobs. It is not liberal left vs. conservative right. It is working class vs. the rich white men who own this country and control the government. Divide and conquer is how they maintain their power. Left vs. Right. They are awesome talents who made a lot of good movies.

These are just a couple of nitwit liberals with too much money and not much intellect.
Who cares what the slugs do? They're irrelevant.
