The separation between the 'Stepmom' actress and her partner of 23 years has been confirmed by her representative, who notes that it took place over the summer.

Another Hollywood celebrity couple has called it quits as Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins announce their separation after 23 years of togetherness. The confirmation of the split between the two veteran actors was made on Wednesday, December 23 by the Academy Award-winning actress' representative Teal Cannaday.

"Actress Susan Sarandon and her partner of 23 years, actor Tim Robbins have announced that they separated over the summer," Cannaday made public the news through a statement. While admitting that the split did take place, the publicist refused to present more detailed information on why the couple ended their romance, noting "No further comments will be made."

Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins first met on the set of 1988's "Bull Durham" where he played a hotshot pitcher and she starred as passionate fan. They had been together ever since, but never officially tied the knot. From the relationship, they have two sons, 20-year-old Jack Henry and 17-year-old Miles Guthrie.

Back in 2004, Sarandon has told the Times of London that she won't marry Robbins. "He is a guy guy, and he is also 12 years younger than me," the 63-year-old stated at the time. "I won't marry because I am too afraid of taking him for granted or him taking me for granted - maybe it will be a good excuse for a party when I am 80."
