WASHINGTON: Madonna has denied reports that she is rekindling her

relationship with ex-husband Sean Penn. The Queen of Pop has been spotted having dinner with the Milk actor in New York City restaurant.

“Madonna was at the St Regis having dinner with friends. Sean stopped by the table to say hello,” People magazine quoted her publicist Liz Rosenberg as saying.

She added, “He sat for ten minutes and then left. Madonna continued with her dinner. That’s all it was.” Madonna and Penn were married for four years before divorcing in 1989.
