Charlize Theron shared a glimpse of her dating life on 'The Drew Barrymore Show.' The Oscar-winning actress explained how her children's attitude toward her dating has shifted dramatically and that they have become unexpected cheerleaders for her romantic life—but she's drawn a firm line at cohabitation.
"My kids are at an age now where they actually enjoy that I'm dating because they want to be involved," Theron said. "It's really funny how I was scared they'd be threatened by it, and now they're like, 'Mom, is he texting you? Like, go on the date, mom.'"
Despite her daughters' enthusiasm for her dating, Theron made it clear she has no intention of living with a romantic partner. Speaking with host Drew Barrymore, she set firm boundaries around her living situation.
"I really mean this—people think I joke—I don't think I could ever live with somebody again," Theron stated. "I would love for you to be close, like buy the house down the street, but I don't know if I can." The actress acknowledged that her stance might change when she becomes an empty nester. But for now, she's prioritizing independence.
But Theron is not alone when it comes to wanting her own space. The famous couples featured in this gallery have chosen not to live under the same roof, or have arrangements in place so they can spend some time apart for their own reasons. Maybe distance really does make the heart grow fonder?
