Charlize Theron dispelled the impression that she almost got married to Sean Penn while she was dating him.
The actress was recently asked about the speculations about her engagement with Penn during an interview with Howard Stern.
“What? That’s not true. No. I did not almost get married to Sean, that’s such bulls–t. No, we dated, that was literally all we did, we dated,” she said.
The pair(Charlize Theron & Sean Penn) dated between 2013 and 2015 and were said to have been engaged.

Explaining further, the actress said, “It was a relationship, for sure. We were definitely exclusive, but it was for barely a year,”
She added, “We never moved in. I was never going to marry him. It was nothing like that.”

Answering another question regarding her views about getting married, she said “I never wanted to get married. That’s never been something that’s important to me.”
Theron added: “I enjoy being set up on dates but I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to live with somebody again. To be totally frank, they might have to buy the house next to me. I don’t know if I’m going to be able to deal with that ever again, I’m too old for that s–t.”
Theron was born in Benoni, in the then Transvaal Province (now Gauteng Province) of South Africa, the only child of road constructionists Gerda (born Maritz) and Charles Theron (27 November 1947 – 21 June 1991). Second Boer War military leader Danie Theron was her great-great-uncle. She is from an Afrikaner family, and her ancestry includes Dutch as well as French and German; her French forebears were early Huguenot settlers in South Africa.”Theron” is an Occitan surname (originally spelled Théron) pronounced in Afrikaans as [tr?n].
She grew up on her parents’ farm in Benoni, near Johannesburg. On 21 June 1991, Theron’s father, an alcoholic, threatened both teenaged Charlize and her mother while drunk, physically attacking her mother and firing a gun at both of them. Theron’s mother retrieved her own handgun, shot back and killed him. The shooting was legally adjudged to have been self-defense, and her mother faced no charges.
Theron attended Putfontein Primary School (Laerskool Putfontein), a period during which she has said she was not “fitting in”. She was frequently unwell with jaundice throughout childhood and the antibiotics she was administered made her upper incisor milk teeth rot (they had to be surgically removed) and teeth did not grow until she was roughly ten-years-old. At 13, Theron was sent to boarding school and began her studies at the National School of the Arts in Johannesburg. Although Theron is fluent in English, her first language is Afrikaans.
