Charlize Theron And Sean Penn: Married By The End Of 2014?

Charlize Theron and Sean Penn will be married by the end of the year, according to a new report.

Just a couple of months into their romance, Penn is reportedly completely in love with Theron and ready to settle down as a family.

“Sean’s fallen hopelessly in love with Charlize,” a pal close to the couple told Life & Style on March 28. “He’s telling friends that he wants to marry Charlize by year’s end!”

Theron and Penn were first linked in Jan. 2014 after being spotted together on multiple occassions in Hawaii and Los Angeles.

“She opened up his sweet, romantic side,” the friend said, adding that he and Charlize's son, Jackson, have formed “a father-son bond.”

Penn is even turning his Malibu mansion into a family home, building a fence around his pool and adding a trampoline to his yard.

“He’s a completely new man,” added the source. “He’s truly in love.”

After marrying Madonna in 1985, Penn's love life became a focal point in the media. Following their 1989 divorce, Penn engaged in yet another high-profile romance, this time with actress Robin Wright.

In 1991, Penn and Wright welcomed their first child, daughter Dylan Frances, and in 1993, they welcomed baby no. 2, a son, Hopper Jack.

Years later, on April 27, 1996, the pair got married. Unfortunately, the marriage didn't last, and after filing for divorce for the second time (the first was in 2007), Wright officially parted ways with Penn on July 22, 2010.

Theron has also had her fair share of publicised romances.

In the 1990s, Theron dated actor Craig Bierko for two years, and from 1997 to 2001, she dated Third Eye Blind's Stephan Jenkins. In 2001, following her split from Jenkins, Theron began a relationship with Irish actor Stuart Townsend, which lasted nearly nine years.
