Their marriage didn't end well, and it may not have been all that great for a lot of the four years it lasted (though it was better than legend would have it).

But in the 1991 documentary Truth or Dare, when asked who the love of her life, for her whole life, had been to date, Madonna (who was dating Warren Beatty at the time) quietly replied, "Sean."

And in 2016, she told him as much at a charity gala she was hosting at Art Basel in Miami. "I'm still in love with you," Madonna said during the auction portion of the evening, offering to remarry him for $150,000.

"Ah, I love my first wife very much," Penn said on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert in 2018 when asked the age-old question, "Madonna or Britney?" "You don't compare those things," the actor said. "I'm a Madonna guy."
