Charlize Theron Reveals Her Kids’ Honest Reactions to Dating Life

by

Charlize Theron’s kids vet the bombshells trying to court her.

The 50-year-old mother of daughters Jackson, 13, and August, 10, shared that her kids follow her dating life closely.

Charlize Theron recently shared on The Drew Barrymore Show that her children are now excited about her dating life and even want to be part of it. She admitted she used to worry they’d be upset, but now they playfully encourage her, asking about potential dates and texts.

Oh my gosh, can we talk about Charlize? Seriously, her taste is amazing – Sean Penn, Stuart Townsend, even Stephan Jenkins from Third Eye Blind! Total rockstars and heartthrobs. But honestly, I’ve been reading she’s been happily single, and it makes so much sense. She’s not just going to settle for anyone, you know? She’s holding out for something really special, something truly meaningful. She deserves it, and I’m so excited to see who finally captures her heart!

She told Drew Barrymore that she doesn’t think she’ll ever be able to live with another person again. While she’d like to stay close – maybe even live nearby – she doesn’t see herself sharing a home with someone in the future.

Right now, she’s prioritizing her kids, but she acknowledges that she might feel differently as they get older.

She wondered if having her daughters still at home influenced her feelings, and acknowledged that might shift once they’d moved out.

Drew agreed, saying he also values putting his kids first, and he’s noticed I feel the same way – it’s always been the right choice for him.

Even though she’s currently single, the Atomic Blonde actress has been enjoying dating. She recently shared that she’s been open to getting to know men who are younger than her.

Charlize Theron recently shared on the Call Her Daddy podcast that she’s had only a few casual encounters throughout her life, estimating around three. She also revealed a recent one-night stand with a 26-year-old, describing the experience as surprisingly enjoyable and new for her. She said, ‘It was really amazing and I’ve never done that. I was like, ‘Oh, this is great.’’

In June 2024, NFL player Jason Kelce jokingly responded to a fan’s comment on social media. The fan had observed that Kelce appeared to not wash his legs or feet, to which Kelce tweeted, “What kind of weirdo washes their feet…?”

The retired Philadelphia Eagles player later doubled down on his comments.

On his podcast, New Heights with his brother Travis Kelce, Patrick Mahomes jokingly asked, “What kind of person washes someone else’s feet?” He then added that he would scrub off any visible dirt, though.

More than ten years after telling a story about witnessing a clown’s death in a car explosion at the circus when he was a child, the actor known for Twilight has confessed that the story was made up.

Robert remembered telling The New York Times Style Magazine in December 2024 that he reacted with complete surprise. He said he immediately asked, ‘What on earth is going on? Are you possessed?’

As for what he said during the 2011 Today interview promoting his film Water for Elephants?

He explained that one of the clowns had died in an accident. Their small car exploded, and it was a genuinely frightening experience for everyone who witnessed it. People immediately ran to get away.

Grandma knows best.

In an October 2022 episode of The Kardashians, Kim Kardashian shared a personal story about how her grandmother, Mary Jo “MJ” Campbell, unexpectedly played a role in a private moment with her then-boyfriend, Pete Davidson.

Kim Kardashian told MJ, Kris Jenner, and Khloe Kardashian that she and Pete Davidson were at the Beverly Hills Hotel last weekend. They were chatting by the fireplace for hours, and she remembered her grandmother saying that having sex in front of a fireplace is a way to truly enjoy life. So, they decided to do it as a tribute to Kris.

Grandma’s reaction? A nod of approval.

Kim found it unsettling to think about her grandmother before being intimate, and MJ responded by saying she understood, but she used to be younger too.

Oh my gosh, you guys, can we talk about Mila and Ashton for a minute? Seriously, the way they are with their kids, Wyatt and Dimitri, is just… everything! It’s like their family has this incredible bond, a love that just overflows. They’re SO close, it’s honestly the sweetest thing ever, and they clearly do everything together. I’m obsessed with how tight-knit they are!

So much so, that the Black Swan actress revealed they keep an open-door policy at home.

Okay, so she actually told TopMob News this, and I’m still reeling! Apparently, it extends to the bathroom too! She basically said that, for better or worse, our whole family has just… embraced all the natural stuff, you know? Like, bodily functions are just totally normal around here, and the kids have just grown up with that! It’s just… our life, and she’s so open about it, and I love it!

Mila explained she finally gave in after her family repeatedly asked to come inside. She said she just decided to leave the door open rather than keep refusing them.

Pre-kids, she might not have imagined she’d flush that particular boundary away.

She said she never imagined she’d be comfortable enough to use the restroom with the door open.

Jennifer Garner admitted to a slightly embarrassing on-set accident while filming the 2007 movie The Kingdom. She accidentally bit her own tongue during a fight scene!

Jennifer shared that the director, Pete Berg, instructed Sala Baker to attempt to harm her during a scene. She explained that they hadn’t rehearsed much, and Berg told her to focus on surviving however she could.

She continued, explaining that they both jumped into action, and she ended up climbing onto his back. She even bit his ear – they have a photo to prove it, showing a piece missing! They weren’t messing around.

 

Ghouls just want to have fun.

During an October 2022 episode of The View, while discussing a woman who claimed her home was haunted by “sexual ghosts,” Sara Haines posed a surprising question to her co-hosts: “Is it possible to get pregnant from a ghost?”

Luckily, Joy Behar, her co-host, chimed in with a humorous response: “I’ve had encounters with ghosts and never gotten pregnant.”

“I’m going to leave that comment as is,” Whoopi Goldberg responded. “I’m not sure everyone heard what Joy said, but I’m choosing not to address it further.”

Jenna Bush Hager and Hoda Kotb are very close friends, but Hoda recently learned something surprising about her “Today” co-host. While preparing for an episode of “Today with Hoda and Jenna,” Hoda found out that Jenna always goes without underwear.

Hoda Kotb recounted a funny moment from November 2022 on Today with Hoda and Jenna. She explained that they both needed to quickly change outfits and had to head back to the dressing room. While there, Hoda realized Jenna Bush Hager doesn’t wear underwear.

Jenna’s rationale? Well, no underwear might just be more convenient to her.

She explained that the style creates a more flattering shape and also makes packing easier. She felt there were many benefits to choosing it.

Looks like someone hasn’t been keeping up.

Britney Spears related to a popular line from Keke Palmer – “He could be walking down the street, I wouldn’t know a thing” – and confessed she wasn’t familiar with Pete Davidson or Scott Disick.

Britney shared a funny video from March showing Pete Davidson—who was dating Kim Kardashian at the time—and Kourtney Kardashian’s ex, Scott Disick, having a night out. She said the video had her laughing a lot.

Britney apologized for sharing a video, explaining she didn’t know the people in it but found it hilarious. She has since removed the post.

Before Chris Evans became famous as Captain America and was named People’s Sexiest Man Alive in 2022, Jana Kramer dated him and thought he was a charming and attractive guy.

The singer shared on her podcast, Whine Down with Jana Kramer, that this happened over ten years ago. She doesn’t remember exactly how many dates they went on, but she does remember what happened the last time they saw each other.

Jana, who was around 26 at the time, said Chris asked her to come over when he had some friends visiting from Boston.

Jana recalled that the last thing she remembered was her partner going to the bathroom right after she’d gone, noting that eating asparagus can change the smell of urine. They didn’t spend the night together; he stayed up late with friends, and she left his house the next morning feeling embarrassed.

She added, “I never heard from him again.”

Not all of these confessions are amusing.

In December, television writer Elisabeth Finch confessed that she had fabricated a story about having a rare form of bone cancer. She had originally shared this false diagnosis in an ELLE article eight years prior, and it even became the basis for a plotline on Grey’s Anatomy.

Elisabeth recently shared with The Ankler newsletter that a lie she told at age 34 was the biggest regret of her life. She explained that the lie grew over time, becoming a heavy burden she kept hidden. She also clarified that she has never been diagnosed with cancer.

Finch, who was temporarily removed from his role on the ABC medical show before ultimately quitting, admitted, “I messed up, and it was completely unacceptable. I take full responsibility for my actions.”

Beauty is pain, but Kim Kardashian might be able to stomach it.

The reality star told The New York Times she’d consider almost any procedure to look younger.

She admitted in June that she’d even consider something extreme – like eating something truly unpleasant daily – if it meant she could look younger. She emphasized she wasn’t ruling it out.

Kim told Allure in July 2022 that she was mostly kidding when she made the comment, but admitted it wasn’t a completely awful idea.

Kim continued, “Honestly, if someone promised me I’d look younger, I’d probably even eat something awful like… well, you get the idea – if they said it would work if I ate it every day.”

She wondered how much she could possibly eat. “Perhaps just a small bite,” she said. “I definitely couldn’t manage a full bowl.”

Jelly Roll could’ve used some saving from himself.

During an April 2025 interview on The Jennifer Hudson Show, the singer of “Save Me” shared a particularly embarrassing story, and he didn’t hesitate to tell all the details.

“I pooped myself one time,” he admitted. “I did, I’m sorry.”

Honestly, I don’t think Jelly Roll – Jason DeFord, to give him his real name – ever intended to cause that much damage. It really wasn’t his intention, as far as I can tell.

He firmly believed it was just a misunderstanding. “I sincerely apologize,” he said. “I saw the audience turn from supportive to completely against me.”
