The actress sat down with Alex Cooper for Wednesday鈥檚 episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast, where she detailed her sex life.
鈥淚 just want to say this in perspective,鈥 Theron, 49, prefaced. 鈥淚鈥檝e probably had three one-night stands in my entire life. But I did just recently f**k a 26-year-old and it was really f***ing amazing.鈥
鈥淚鈥檝e never done that,鈥 she continued. 鈥淎nd I was like, 鈥極h, this is great. OK.鈥欌
The Atomic Blonde star revealed that she 鈥渇ound this freedom鈥 in her 40s that allowed her to have the sexual encounter, which was very rare for her.
鈥淚 don鈥檛 have many of them, I鈥檓 sitting here sounding like I do,鈥 she explained. 鈥淪o when I do, I鈥檓 like, 鈥極h, f**k yeah. I should have done this in my 20s.鈥欌
The producer explained that prioritising her sex life is hard as a single mum.
鈥淲ho has f***ing time for dates and shaving and waxing and make-up? And I have two children who have to go to school.鈥
Theron welcomed both her kids through adoption, bringing Jackson 鈥 whom she revealed was transgender in 2019 鈥 into her life in 2012, followed by August in 2015.
Theron told Cooper that when she does want a hook-up, she needs to schedule it accordingly.
鈥淭his sh*t鈥檚 on a timer,鈥 she joked. 鈥淒o you need me to send you a call time? You got two hours. What鈥檚 happening? 鈥楥ause, like, I need to know.鈥
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.
鈥淐harlize and Alex have been dating for a few months now,鈥 a source told Us Weekly at the time, noting that the pair鈥檚 relationship was 鈥渟till in the early stages鈥 but that they 鈥渞eally like[d] each other.鈥
The pair reportedly broke up in November 2024.
Before that, Theron was in a highly publicised 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.
鈥淚 did not 鈥榓lmost get married to Sean,鈥 that鈥檚 such bullsh*t,鈥 she told Howard Stern in 2020. 鈥淣o, 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.鈥
Prior to Penn, Theron dated actors Craig Bierko and Stuart Townsend, along with Third Eye Blind frontman Stephan Jenkins.
