No cattiness from this ex!
Sean Penn's former girlfriend, supermodel Jessica White, is happy for the actor's new romance with Scarlet Johansson. White, 26, tells PopEater in an interview, "Yes, they're great together!"
The Sports Illustrated model dated the Oscar Winner, 50, off and on in 2009 and 2010, and she claims they are still pals. "Sean is a really lovely man," she says, adding, "I think Sean needs a good woman in his life." Penn divorced wife Robin Wright after 14 years of marriage in August 2010; they have two kids together--Dylan Frances, 20, and Hopper Jack, 18.

Penn and Johansson, 26, began their fling in early January, just weeks after her hubby Ryan Reynolds filed for divorce after two years of marriage. Although the duo kept their fledgling romance private for the next several weeks (despite a PDA-packed trip to Mexico and nights out in Hollywood), they finally made their debut as a couple before a crowd of A-listers-- at Reese Witherspoon's star-studded March 26 wedding.

White offered additional insight into her outspoken, sometime-volatile ex, explaining that his true "calling" is his humanitarian work in Haiti.
"That's where he finds his peace and refuge. I think that's a great job," she says. "He's very passionate."
Tell Us What You Think
8why would she leave ryan reynolds for him? yuck
S.J. is stolen biological material, taken against will and formed to clones line 200 pieces total. Sign of dangerous criminal activity. Original Scarlett Galabekian future pediatrician doctor, pediatrician nurse license she obtained in 2008
i think Sean is hot for his age, Go Scarlett!
Scarlett sounds like another Brad Pitt, running off with someone before the divorce is even finalized. Maybe Sean is the reason for the divorce *shrugs*
She clearly has daddy issues. What a disgusting man.
I think there is something about him that makes him attractive. I think him and Scarlet fit together great. Scarlet is so mature for her age and I think she will do best with an older man.
I think the term "cradle-robber" would apply to Sean Penn. He's old enough to be her father.
Maybe you have to personally know him to get it. Cause I just don't see it.
