Sean Penn was recently seen enjoying a rare public outing with his girlfriend, Valeria Nicov, just days after attending the 2026 Golden Globes. The 65-year-old actor went to the awards show alone on January 11, but three days later, he stepped out for a relaxed date in Santa Monica, California. The couple kept things simple and low-key, drawing quiet attention from fans and onlookers.

During their casual walk on January 14, Sean and Valeria were seen holding hands. Sean wore a navy jacket over a white shirt, paired with gray pants and white sneakers. Valeria, who is 30, chose an all-black look, wearing a peacoat, joggers, and tennis shoes. Their comfortable outfits matched the laid-back mood of the outing, showing a more private side of the couple.
Sean Penn and Valeria Nicov are rarely photographed together, making this appearance special for fans. The pair first made their red carpet debut in November 2024 at the Marrakech International Film Festival. Since then, they have mostly kept their relationship away from the spotlight. Valeria did not attend the Golden Globes with Sean, where he was nominated for Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture.
Although Sean did not win the award, losing to actor Stellan Skarsgård, he still appeared to enjoy the night. He was seen laughing during host Nikki Glaser’s monologue, which included several jokes aimed at him. One joke compared his aging looks to a “sexy leather handbag,” a line that made both the audience and Sean himself laugh. Nikki also joked about his serious humanitarian work, adding humor that kept the mood light.

Despite being the subject of playful teasing, Sean handled it with humor and confidence. His relaxed date with Valeria afterward showed that he was in good spirits, enjoying personal moments away from the cameras and the pressure of award season.
