Sean Penn and Charlize Theron split - report
Sean Penn and Charlize Theron have reportedly split after 18 months of dating.
The Oscar-winning couple struck up an unlikely romance in late 2013, but now multiple sources tell Us Weekly that Theron, 39, has ended the relationship.
An insider claims the Monster actress called time on the romance
during the couple's recent visit to the Cannes Film Festival in
France last month (May15).
Although Theron and Penn, 54, have known year other for almost two
decades, the friendship-turned-romance took the actress by
surprise, and in a recent interview with Vogue, she said, "I really
didn’t see it coming. Sean and I have known each other for 18
years. We were just really good friends. It was effortless and kind
of naturally happened, and before I knew it, I was in something
that was making my life better."
In December (14), the couple sparked rumors of an engagement, but
neither confirmed the reports.
Both actors have had high-profile relationships in the past - South
African beauty Theron has dated Irish star Stuart Townsend and
Third Eye Blind frontman Stephan Jenkins, while Penn was married to
Madonna and Robin Wright.
Representatives for both Theron and Penn have yet to comment on
reports of a split.
