Charlize Theron News: Actress Believes in Fairy-Tale Kind of Love
Oscar awardee Charlize Theron may be playing an evil queen in the upcoming "The Huntsman: Winter's War," but her heart is not as evil in real life as she believes in love.
When asked by E! if she believes in a fairy-tale kind of love, Theron answered yes, and added:
"… But I think, you know, when we're young we think it's only that thing… Then you fall in love with your children, and you fall in love with your sisterhood of friends and you realize there are so many different kinds of love! That it is what kind of conquers all, because at the end of the day that is truly what matters," she said as she elaborated on her answer.
Last month, rumors started circulating that Theron and Ben Affleck are finally an item, acting on the feelings that they never got to fully express when they worked together on the set of the film "Reindeer Games" in 2000. At that time, Theron was in a relationship with Stephan Jenkins while Affleck was with Gwyneth Paltrow.
In 2014, Theron dated and married actor Sean Penn but eventually divorced him, reportedly because of his anger management issues. On the other hand, after 10 years of marriage, Affleck and then-wife Jennifer Garner announced their separation in summer last year. For a while, it was widely believed then that Affleck carried an affair with their kid's nanny, and it was the reason for the falling apart of his marriage with Garner. However, in an interview with Vanity Fair in February this year, Garner clarified the rumor, saying that she and Affleck had already called it quits when the issue about the nanny came to her knowledge.
Despite the separation, though, Affleck and Garner are yet to file for divorce. The couple still manage to live under one roof to ensure that their kids get normal parenting.
However, in the Oscars after-party in February, Affleck and Theron were spotted together, giving rise to the speculations that the two are finally in a long-overdue relationship. According to rumors, the two are just being discreet about the relationship as they consider the feelings of the people around them, especially their respective children.
If the rumors about Theron and Affleck are true, only time can tell if Theron has finally found her fairy-tale love meant for a happy ever after.
