In 1985: While filming the video for Material Girl, Madonna, then 26, ran into actor Sean Penn, who just so happened to be on the lot at the time. He certainly wasn't a superstar at that point, more like a young kid starting out in Hollywood. Sean, 24 at the time, was instantly attracted to the singer and after a super brief courtship, the two were married in August of 1985. Just two years later, Sean and Madonna filed for divorce. They quickly withdrew the paperwork and claimed that all was well with them. In December 1988, they decided to legally separate. By September of 1989, the short lived marriage between Madonna and Sean Penn was over.
1987: In between her separation and legal divorce from Sean, Madonna passed time dating Hollywood and political royalty J
1988: Perhaps in attempt to be controversial, Madonna began dating wildly outspoken comedian Sandra Bernhard. The public romance proved to be too much and after a year, they called it quits.
