They both had breakups after 20-plus years with their significant others, so what better way for Tim Robbins and Maria Shriver to help each heal than to date? Robbins and his partner of 21 years, Susan Sarandon, split in 2009—breaking up one of the most outspoken liberal couples in Hollywood. If Shriver misses the political debate, she and Robbins certainly can talk about his endorsement of John Edwards in the 2007 election. But there’s one hitch: Robbins is a lifelong Mets fan, while Shriver is a lifelong Red Sox fan. Better stay away from any talk of the 1986 World Series, then.
