Personal Life
In 1964, Sarandon (then a college student named Susan Tomalin) began dating actor Chris Sarandon. The couple married on September 16, 1967. In 1978, following their separation, Sarandon stated "I no longer believe in marriage" in an interview with Cosmopolitan magazine. Their divorce was finalized in 1979 and she retained Sarandon as her stage name.
Following her marital separation, Sarandon had a two-year relationship with director Louis Malle, who directed her in Pretty Baby and Atlantic City.
In the mid-1980s, Sarandon dated Italian filmmaker Franco Amurri. She gave birth to their daughter, actress Eva Amurri, on March 15, 1985.
From 1988 to 2009, Sarandon was in a relationship with actor Tim Robbins, whom she met while they were filming Bull Durham. They have two sons — Jack Henry (born 1989) and Miles Guthrie (born 1992).
In 2006, Sarandon and ten of her relatives (including her then-partner Tim Robbins and her son Miles) travelled to Wales to trace her family's Welsh genealogy. Their journey was documented by the BBC Wales programme, Coming Home: Susan Sarandon. Much of the same research and content was also featured in the American version of Who Do You Think You Are?. In 2006, she also received the "Ragusani nel mondo" prize, since her Sicilian roots are in Ragusa, Italy.
Sarandon is the co-owner of New York table tennis club SPiN, and its Toronto branch SPiN Toronto.

Famous quotes containing the words personal life, personal and/or life:
“A man lives not only his personal life, as an individual, but also, consciously or unconsciously, the life of his epoch and his contemporaries.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
“The city is a fact in nature, like a cave, a run of mackerel or an ant-heap. But it is also a conscious work of art, and it holds within its communal framework many simpler and more personal forms of art. Mind takes form in the city; and in turn, urban forms condition mind.”
—Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)
“But the life of Spirit is not the life that shrinks from death and keeps itself untouched by devastation, but rather the life that endures it and maintains itself in it. It wins its truth only when, in utter dismemberment, it finds itself.... Spirit is this power only by looking the negative in the face, and tarrying with it. This tarrying with the negative is the magical power that converts it into being. This power is identical with what we earlier called the Subject.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
