Susan also disclosed that her mom, Lenora Criscione Tomalin, wasn’t entirely on board with the wedding. According to Susan, her mother, who was pregnant at the time, expressed disapproval and insinuated that Susan shouldn’t get married. Susan believes her mother’s comment stemmed from self-consciousness about her own situation.

Similarly, Chris praised Susan as an extraordinary human being and emphasized the enduring love that exists between them on a different level, even if it’s not romantic love.

Family and Future Relationships

After her divorce from Chris, Susan entered into a long-term relationship with Tim Robbins, with whom she has two children, Jack Henry Robbins and Miles Robbins. She also has a daughter, Eva Amurri, from her relationship with Italian director Franco Amurri.
