In March, Star Magazine claimed that Penn and Portman were "making out" at West Hollywood's Sunset Tower Hotel.
The actress has since insisted that the story is "completely untrue" and manufactured by the media.
Portman told Us Weekly: "Sean Penn is a friend and colleague. The reports that we are romantically involved are completely untrue.
"I normally do not respond to rumours about my private life, however, this repeatedly fabricated story has forced me to do so."
Penn, 48, recently filed for divorce for the second time from wife of 13 years Robin Wright Penn.
