Fresh star stories with a cool online feel.

Charlize Theron has had her share of romantic relationships. She's dated Ryan Reynolds, Stephan Jenkins from the band Third Eye Blind, and is rumored to be dating actor Gabriel Aubry (via Us Weekly). Her longest relationship was with actor and director Stuart Townsend from 2002-2010 (via InStyle).

Theron most recently dated actor Sean Penn. There was speculation that she and Penn were engaged, a claim that Theron refutes (via People). Marriage was never on the table according to her.

These days, Theron isn't necessarily looking for a relationship and knows what she'll require in a partner. On the Drew Barrymore Show, Theron said, "I feel like I'm in a place in my life where you gotta come with a lot of game," she explained. "The kind of game that's like, 'My life is really good, so you better be able to bring that and maybe better,' because I just won't accept anything less."

Still, Theron maintains she plans to stay single, "I never wanted to get married. That's never been something that's important to me" (via People).
