Attention world: Charlize Theron is single and ready to mingle...and she wants you to know it.
On Thursday, while promoting her upcoming flick, Long Shot, at CinemaCon in Las Vegas, the Oscar-winning actress told Entertainment Tonight that she has been riding solo for 10 (guys, 10!!) years. But that doesn't mean she's done with dating. "Someone just needs to grow a pair and step up," Charlize said.
Mic. Drop.
...which was immediately (err, figuratively) picked back up by movie co-star, Seth Rogan, who said, "She's out there."

Charlize's response? "I've made it very clear." True.
Btw: That means her last public long-term relationship was with Trapped co-star, Stuart Townsend. While the two never legally got hitched, they considered each other husband and wife, according to People . That, however, was until they broke it off in 2010.
Before this, in Townsend's words, "marriage," Charlize dated-and even got engaged-to Sean Penn. And prior to the powerhouse actor was Third Eye Blind front man, Stephen Jenkins, a.k.a. the iconic singing voice of eternal musical-hit, Jumper.
Through it all, there actually have been two steady and very successful relationships in Charlize's life: her role as mom to kiddos Jackson, 7, and August, 3.
In a 2017 interview on The Howard Stern Show , Charlize said, Once I had my kids, the first two years youre so, you turn into such a mom. Your body almost switches off. Its like I had no desire to date or anything.
Two years later and the tides have turned: Charlize is looking for love.
