Charlize Theron recently had a “f–king amazing” hookup with a 26-year-old.
The actress sat down with Alex Cooper for Wednesday’s episode of the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, where she detailed her sex life.
“I just want to say this in perspective,” Theron, 49, began. “I’ve probably had three one-night stands in my entire life. But I did just recently have sex with a 26-year-old, and it was really freaking amazing.”
“I’ve never done that,” she continued. “And I was like, ‘Oh, this is great. OK.’”
The “Atomic Blonde” star shared that she discovered a newfound freedom in her 40s that allowed her to experience this rare sexual encounter.
“I don’t have many of them, I’m sitting here sounding like I do,” she clarified. “So when I do, I’m like, ‘Oh, heck yeah. I should have done this in my 20s.'”
The producer explained that prioritizing her sex life is hard as a single mom.
“Who has f–king time for dates and shaving and waxing and makeup? And I have two children who have to go to school.”
Theron welcomed both her kids through adoption, bringing Jackson — whom she revealed was transgender in 2019 — into her life in 2012, followed by August in 2015.
Theron told Cooper that when she does want a hookup, she needs to schedule it accordingly.
“This s–t’s on a timer,” she joked. “Do you need me to send you a call time? You got two hours. What’s happening? ‘Cause, like, I need to know.”
Theron tends to keep the details of her love life private. She was most recently linked to model Alex Dimitrijevic in May 2023, though she never confirmed the romance herself.
“Charlize and Alex have been dating for a few months now,” a source told Us Weekly at the time, noting that the pair’s relationship was “still in the early stages” but that they “really like[d] each other.”
The pair reportedly broke up in November 2024.
Before that, Theron was in a highly publicized relationship with Sean Penn in 2013. Multiple outlets reported that the pair had even secretly gotten engaged.
After they broke up in 2015, however, the “Bombshell” star said she had no intention of ever marrying the actor.
“I did not ‘almost get married to Sean,’ that’s such bulls–t,” she told Howard Stern in 2020. “No, we dated, that was literally all we did, we dated. It was a relationship, for sure. We were definitely exclusive, but it was for barely a year.”
Prior to Penn, Theron dated actors Craig Bierko and Stuart Townsend, along with Third Eye Blind frontman Stephan Jenkins.
