Charlize Theron has opened up about her ‘effortless’ romantic relationship with long-time friend Sean Penn in Vogue‘s new June issue.
The 38-year-old actress, who was chosen to star on the cover, strikes a pose against a palm tree, wearing a navy blue dress with cut-out shoulders, her blonde pixie haircut styled in beach-swept waves.
‘It just kind of naturally happened,’ she said of her blossoming relationship with the actor, 53. ‘And before I knew it, I was in something that was making my life better — the people who really love me can see the effect it has had on me.’
For Charlize’s sixth ever Vogue cover, she was photographed in the Florida Keys, posing on the beach in a silver metallic bikini and riding the waves on a jetski.
The mother-of-one, who adopted son Jackson in 2012, has spent the past few years happily single, and she says the love she has with Sean came somewhat unexpectedly.
‘I know so well what I want to fit in my life. And the simple answer to that is: Unless he can make my life better? My life is really pretty f****** good.
‘What I guess I am trying to say is: A friend kind of stepped into that role, and I really didn’t see it coming… We were just really good friends.’
And the pair have certainly been looking rather loved up recently.
On Saturday, they were pictured sharing a tender kiss goodbye before Charlize hopped into a car with Jackson, Daily Mail informs.
