If you’ve spent any time lately wondering is Robin Wright married, the short answer is no—but the long answer is a lot more interesting. Honestly, it’s a whole new chapter for her. After three marriages and a very public career in Hollywood, the woman we all know as Claire Underwood has basically packed up, left the "sh** show" of the U.S. behind, and started over in the English countryside.
She isn't walking down the aisle. In fact, she’s pretty adamant about that.
The current status: Not married, but definitely "taken"
Right now, Robin Wright is in a serious relationship with Henry Smith, a British-Australian architect. They’ve been together for over a year now, and from the way she talks about him, it sounds like she’s finally found the "decent adult" she was looking for.
They aren't just dating; they’ve moved in together in a rented house by the sea in England. But if you’re looking for wedding bells, don’t hold your breath. When she was asked by The Sunday Times recently if she’d ever get hitched a fourth time, her response was pretty blunt: "No. God no. Why? That’s just unnecessary."
She’s 59 now. She’s done the big houses. She’s done the Hollywood drama. Now? She just wants to "grow old with somebody, and travel and see the world."
How she met Henry (It’s actually a great story)
Forget dating apps. Robin and Henry met the old-fashioned way: at a pub. Specifically, a country pub in the Chilterns.
It started because of a dog. Robin asked if she could feed a dog she saw, and some guy pointed to Henry at the bar and said it was his. According to Robin, this 6'2" guy just put his pint down, walked over, grabbed her by the shoulders, and asked, "Who the f*** are you?"
She shot it right back: "Who the f*** are you?"
And that was it. Instant connection.
They actually ended up getting to know each other on the "fast track" because they both caught a nasty case of COVID-19 right after meeting. When you’re stuck in bed, deathly ill, crying and laughing with someone you barely know, you tend to skip the small talk. She calls him her "person."
Why people keep asking "is Robin Wright married?"
It’s easy to get confused because her relationship history is, well, a lot. She’s been married three times, and most of them were high-profile.
- Dane Witherspoon (1986–1988): Her first husband was her Santa Barbara co-star. They were super young. It lasted two years.
- Sean Penn (1996–2010): This is the one everyone remembers. It was a rollercoaster. They were on, they were off, they filed for divorce, they took it back. They have two kids, Dylan and Hopper, and while the marriage ended over a decade ago, they’re actually still friends. Robin calls their co-parenting relationship a "gift."
- Clément Giraudet (2018–2022): This was her most recent marriage. He was a French fashion executive for Saint Laurent. They had a very private, bohemian wedding in France, but she filed for divorce in 2022, citing those famous "irreconcilable differences."
There was also an engagement to actor Ben Foster somewhere in the middle there, but they never actually made it to the altar.
Moving on from the "Jealousy" of her 20s
What’s cool about Robin Wright right now is how much she seems to have outgrown the Typical Celebrity Lifestyle™. She’s been very open about the fact that she doesn’t want the drama anymore. She told AARP that she’s done with the doubt and the suspicion that often comes with young love.

She basically said you grow out of jealousy like you grow out of a pair of pants.
She’s looking for peace. By moving to England and living a quieter life with Henry, she seems to have found it. She’s even working on a new Prime Video series called The Girlfriend, so she’s not retired—she’s just relocated.
What we can learn from Robin’s new outlook
If you’re looking for a takeaway from Robin Wright’s current relationship status, it’s probably this: Marriage isn’t the only "happily ever after."
- Prioritize peace over prestige: She left the Hollywood bubble for a rented house by the sea.
- Don't rush the "I do": Even when you find your "person," you don't need a legal document to prove it if you've already been there and done that.
- Keep the past friendly: Staying on good terms with an ex (like Sean Penn) makes life a lot easier for everyone involved, especially the kids.
So, while she isn't wearing a new wedding ring, she sounds happier than she’s been in years. She’s "seen and loved" for who she is, and for her, that’s plenty.
