Charlize Theron has opened up about her dating life, revealing the unexpected role her daughters now play in it.
During an appearance on the latest episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, the 50-year-old actress revealed that she doesn’t think she “could ever live with somebody again.”
“My kids are at an age now where they actually enjoy that I’m dating because they want to be involved,” said Charlize.
The Apex actress further 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.’”
“I really mean this — people think I joke — I don’t think I could ever live with somebody again,” she told Drew. “I would love for you to be close, like buy the house down the street, but I don’t know if I can.”
The Oscar-winning actress continued that her perspective could evolve over time.
“Maybe it’s because I still have my daughters in the house, and maybe that will change when I’m an empty nester, but I’m looking for something very specific,” she said.
For those unversed, Charlize adopted her eldest daughter, Jackson, in 2012, and her younger daughter, August, in 2015.
