I don’t think Minka Kelly has a boyfriend these days. That thing – whatever it was? – with Chris Evans is long over. Minka’s Instagram doesn’t seem to show that she’s in any kind of major relationship either. So it could be that she’s the prime target for Sean Penn. Penn is coming off a brutal breakup with Charlize Theron – Charlize apparently ghosted him hard following an incident in Vienna in late May. Which means that Sean has been single for a full month and now he’s looking to rebound with a pretty young actress. Is Minka the one? TMZ got some photos of Sean at Minka’s birthday party at French Laundry last week – go here to see.
Sean Penn and Charlize Theron called it quits just 2 weeks ago, and he’s already doing his laundry with another hot chick. These pics were taken last Tuesday at French Laundry, the uber-fancy/delicious/exclusive restaurant in the Napa Valley. Sean was celebrating Minka Kelly’s 35th birthday, along with 3 other people.
They were by no means hush hush … people at other tables heard Sean tell the other 3 he and Minka met at a Haiti charity event.
They had a feast to end all, with a chicken with the feet still attached, truffle mac and cheese and a birthday cake. The people at Sean’s table, along with others in the restaurant, serenaded Minka to “Happy Birthday.”
Sean picked up the tab … and it was pricey. Minka has not mentioned Sean, but after the dinner she Instagrammed, “Birthday festivities off to a pretty magical start.”
Hm… my first instinct was “it’s probably nothing” but the details make me question my instinct. First of all… the party was small and it was in Napa, not LA. Meaning travel was involved. Meaning this wasn’t just Sean “stopping by” an acquaintance’s birthday party which was being held close to his home. Also, Sean picked up the check for Minka and three other people? Yeah, I have to say it – I think it’s happening. We can debate whether it’s just a breezy rebound thing or whatever, but his Ham-Face has definitely been beet-red on top of her. Minka, YOU IN DANGER.
