Susan Sarandon has opened up about a difficult period in her family life, revealing that her relationship with her children became more distant following her highly publicised split from longtime partner Tim Robbins.
Sarandon and Robbins were together for more than two decades after meeting while working on the 1988 film Bull Durham. Although they never married, they became one of Hollywood's best-known couples and welcomed two sons, Jack and Miles.
The pair announced their separation in 2009, bringing an end to their 23-year relationship. Sarandon has previously spoken about how challenging major changes in family life can be, particularly when they happen under intense public attention.
The actress has now reflected on how the aftermath of the breakup affected her relationship with her children. Her comments offer a more personal look at the impact that major family changes can have, even when parents are trying to move forward.
Sarandon has remained close to her children over the years and has often spoken publicly about motherhood, family and the importance of maintaining strong relationships.
The Oscar-winning actress has also continued to maintain a busy career in film and television while raising her family. Her relationship with Robbins remains part of her personal history, but both have continued with their lives and careers separately since their split.
Her latest comments have resonated with fans because they highlight a less glamorous side of celebrity life: even famous families can struggle with distance, changing relationships and the emotional consequences of major life transitions.
