Engaged Robin Wright and Fiancé Ben Foster Wedding Update: Ex Husband Dead at 56

Robin Wright and fiancé Ben Foster seem more and more destined to be together as their wedding approaches. After meeting Ben years before, all it took was watching one movie together, for the couple to update the relationship status from friends to engaged soul mates. Wright's first husband Santa Barbara co-star Dane Witherspoon has reportedly passed away at 56-year-old for reason not yet determined.

Robin Wright and much younger fiancé Ben Foster didn't fall in love at first sight, but it didn't take to many sighting before the pair were madly in love with one another.

Robin has mentioned before that her favorite food in the world is her boyfriend kisses [puke], but their relationship apparently started with more of a whimper than the universe altering supernova that you might have expected.

The 47-years-old House of Cards actress told Gossip Center that she and Foster had a working relationship long before they had a romantic one:

"I met him years ago; he's an actor. I'd always loved his work.

"Then I was in a movie he produced, called Rampart, and he was on the set every day since he was also an actor, so we became friends.

"Cut to a year later when the movie comes out, we're at the premiere, and everyone is watching the movie.

"We had already seen it, so he said, 'Do you want to go to the party early and hang out until the screening is over?' And that was it. We've been together ever since."

On a much sadder note, Robin's first husband, actor Dave Witherspoon has been reported dead at the age of 56.

Dane's former co-star from Santa Barbara, where he first met Robin, A Bone Martinez announced his friends passing on his Facebook page:

"Dane passed this morning. People who watched Santa Barbara in its earliest days will remember him as Joe Perkins, a character to which he brought a quiet grace and deep, bittersweet sense of soul.

"He was a singular, standup guy, loved and admired by many. My first thought, upon meeting him in 1984: 'This is the most beautiful man I've ever seen.' That beauty went all the way to his core."

Who would have ever expected a man named A Bone, to be so poetically sentimental?
