자고 일어나면 헤어지는 커플들 얘기가 넘쳐납니다. 이 헐리우드 커플은 요새 젊은 이들도 아니고 오랜세월을 함께 했던 터라 그 발표가 눈길을 끌었어요. 이유없는 갈라짐이 어디 있겠냐만은 이 사람들이 이유를 나중에라도 왈가왈부 떠들어 대지 말기를 바래봅니다. 화제거리로 젊은 연예인들이 결혼했다 이혼했다하는것이 오르락 내리락하지만, 이렇게 늦은 나이에도 갈라서는 사람들 이유는 왠지 듣기에 우울해 질것 같거든요.

Actors Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon -- who became one of Hollywood's longest-lasting and most prominent couples during their 23 years together -- have split, PEOPLE is exclusively reporting. A rep for Sarandon says despite the pre-Christmas announcement, the duo have been separated for months.

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.'
