Sean has previously admitted he can be "difficult" in his personal life, in an interview on The Howard Stern Show.
"Am I difficult? Yeah I think so. I will say I'm a person who feels and expresses energetically, I've misled people into thinking it's all about me. I think the interview you're talking about would be a lady named Leila George, she knows me better than I do on this level, that doesn't mean I agree with her perceptions but I certainly find them fascinating. ... She's the gal in my life,” he said.
And Sean is "aware" he can be "difficult to like from afar".
"There've been several times I've worked with directors who I felt might have found a different job description, and perhaps weren't the storytellers that their initial meetings with each of us actors might have indicated. Actors are kind of canaries in the coal mine emotionally, and you have to go to whatever place is necessary inside yourself,” he said.
"If you don't have somebody there who at least respects that - most of what I was referring to is that the arrogance goes further than charm. I am aware that I can be a difficult person to like from afar, often. I sometimes think I have a great love affair but not too good with humans."
Leila, who was born in Sydney, is the daughter of actor Vincent D’Onofrio and actress Greta Scacchi. She’s believed to have started dating Sean Penn in 2016.
