Alright, let’s dive right in. You’ve probably heard the buzz lately—those rumors swirling around Charlize Theron and Brad Pitt being romantically linked? Well, let me tell you, Charlize herself shut that down faster than you can say "Hollywood gossip." In a candid moment, the stunning South African actress dropped some big news: she’s not only single right now but has been flying solo for the past decade.

Charlize’s Bold Admission at CinemaCon

During a promotional event for her new film Long Shot at CinemaCon in Las Vegas on April 4, 2019, Charlize, who was 43 at the time, spoke with Entertainment Tonight and set the record straight. She didn’t mince words when she said, “I’ve been single for 10 years.” And here’s the kicker—she wasn’t shy about encouraging potential suitors to step up. “People should ask me out because it’s not a long shot,” she joked. Talk about turning the tables and giving her movie some serious promotion in the process!

Charlize’s Playful Tease to Potential Suitors

But wait, there’s more. Charlize didn’t stop there. She went on to say, “Somebody just needs to grow a pair and step up. I’m shockingly available.” Can you imagine? One of the most beautiful and talented women in Hollywood, practically putting out a casting call for love. It’s surprising, especially since she was once romantically linked with fellow A-lister Sean Penn from 2013 to 2015. Now, before you get too excited, let’s clarify—Charlize did acknowledge her previous relationship with actor Stuart Townsend from 2002 to 2010, which means she might have rounded up the years a bit. But hey, who’s counting?

Family First: Charlize’s Focus on Motherhood

Now, while she may have been single for a while, Charlize hasn’t exactly been lonely. She’s been keeping busy as the proud mom of two adorable adopted children—Jackson, 7, and August, 3. Motherhood has always been a top priority for her. In fact, she’s been very open about her desire to become a mom. “I had a strong need to be a mom,” she once revealed, adding, “I was always aware that there are so many children in this world who don’t have families. This was always my first choice.”

But let’s not sugarcoat it. The journey to motherhood wasn’t easy for Charlize. She’s been candid about the emotional struggles she faced during the adoption process. “I struggled mentally through the adoption process,” she admitted. When things didn’t work out as planned, it was tough. “Some of the lowest points in my life were dealing with the first time I filed,” she confessed. But despite the challenges, she persevered, and now she’s living her best life as a mom and a thriving actress.
