‘ROUND THE WAY: GARCELLE BEAUVAIS MOVES ON TO SEAN PENN? / LISARAYE SAYS MARRIAGE IS BUSINESS, MORE THAN LOVE

Not too long ago, actress Garcelle Beauvais shared how she dealt with the reality of her husband’s affair after 9 years of marriage (read here). Now Page Six is saying that the 44 year-old mother of 3 is keeping it moving and allegedly seeing actor Sean Penn:

[Sean Penn] had a dinner date the other night with Garcelle Beauvais at the Sunset Tower Hotel in LA. Penn and the Haitian-American beauty sat at a front table but later moved to a more private area near the pool. Penn has been a huge force in helping to rebuild Haiti, while Beauvais, who lost a great aunt in the earthquake, helped raise money and appeared in the film “Eyes To See” about the tragedy. [SOURCE]

Sean Penn recently wrapped up his brief relationship with Scarlett Johansson and was also linked to model Jessica White in recent months.

LISARAYE TALKS MARRIAGE, LOVE AND HOW IT’S REALLY A BUSINESS

In an interview with TheUrbanDaily.com, actress and former first lady LisaRaye spoke on her role in VH1′s Single Ladies, the show’s depiction of African-American women and her view on marriage and how it’s ultimately a business:

I think both. I think marriage is love and commitment, but also a business. When I say it’s a business I mean you have to get very deep and involved in his history and find out his outlook on how he’s going to take care of his family. How are we going to run the household? Who brings the most money in? Who’s going to pay what? What are you bringing to the table? How do we protect what we have?

I know my worth. I’m an international woman, a former first lady. I’m accomplished. So I want someone equally yoked with me, I want him to bring something to the table so that we can be that much more powerful together. So I’m not looking for the average Joe.
