Charlize Theron & Sean Penn

Love happened at some point in the high-flying careers of Charlize Theron and Sean Penn. The South African actress, who is of French and German descent, briefly dated the Mystic River actor for a couple of years. Theron dated the half-Jewish, Irish-Italian in 2013 but it only lasted for a few years. The actress clarified, however, that she never thought the relationship will turn into anything more than superficial. Theron said she never moved in with the actor, nor got engaged to him.

While Theron is still open to dating other men, The Mad Max: Fury Road star also underscored that she is not into marriage and that tying the knot is not something she believes in. Meanwhile, it seems that Sean Penn, to his credit, firmly believes in marriage because he exchanged vows with Mortal Engines actress, Leila George, in 2020. He was also previously married before dating Theron.
