Robin Wright's first husband was Dane Witherspoon, whom she married in 1991. The couple met while working together on the soap opera "Santa Barbara," where they both gained prominence. Their marriage lasted until 1996, after which Wright went on to have high-profile relationships, including with Sean Penn, whom she married later. Witherspoon's role in Wright's early career is often overshadowed by her subsequent relationships, but he was her first significant partner in both life and career.
