Bulls***: The 44-year-old addressed the rumors: ‘What? That’s not true. no. I did not “almost get married to Sean,” that’s such bulls***. No, we dated, that was literally all we did, we dated’

The 44-year-old addressed the rumors: ‘What? That’s not true. no. I did not “almost get married to Sean,” that’s such bulls***.  No, we dated, that was literally all we did, we dated.’

She continued: ‘It was a relationship, for sure. We were definitely exclusive, but it was for barely a year. We never moved in. I was never going to marry him. It was nothing like that.’

Theron began dating Penn, 59, back in December of 2013, later breaking it off in June of 2015.

Us Weekly reported in December of 2014 that the couple secretly got engaged in Paris, a source saying: ‘There’s no ring, but they are committed.’

She told Vogue earlier that year: ‘Let’s put it this way: I never had the dream of the white dress. And watching other people getting married? I think it’s beautiful for them, but to be quite honest, usually I’m sitting there just devastated.’

When Stern asked about her desires to get married, she responded: ‘I never wanted to get married. That’s never been something that’s important to me. On the lives of my children, I’ve never been lonely. I’ve never felt alone.’

She added: ‘My life right now just doesn’t allow a lot of room for something like that to happen. But in saying that, there’s not this thing that drives me [to have a romantic relationship].’

Last January, Theron was subject of another romantic rumor that she was dating Brad Pitt, 56, before a source told E! News that it wasn’t true.

The insider said: ‘They know each other, but it doesn’t go beyond that. They aren’t dating and never were.’
