When Sean Penn and his girlfriend Valeria Nicov walked the red carpet at the Marrakech International Film Festival, it caused a lot of debate. The fact that they were 34 years apart in age caused a lot of discussion on social media.
People liked Penn’s classic suit and Nicov’s beautiful off-shoulder dress, but some didn’t like how they looked together. Some supported their shared age, while others said they were uncomfortable.
Some people didn’t like Penn’s looks and said he looked like his younger girlfriend. Supporters stressed Nicov’s independence and the couple’s right to be together, even though there was pushback.
Public opinion is still split, which is typical of larger social arguments about relationships between people of different ages. People are still talking about Sean and Valeria’s connection.
