Charlize Theron reportedly moved on from a major heartbreak and started dating her long- time friend, Jake Gyllenhaal.
Charlize and Jake have become more than friends, following her break up with Sean Penn a months ago. According to a report, the two were said to be spotted looking like an item.
The two sparked dating rumors after they were spotted at a sushi restaurant in L.A. last August. An eyewitness revealed to OK! Magazine that the chemistry between the two was very obvious. The source added that Jake and Charlize looked very sweet while holding hands and that she seemed so happy. Suggesting that she finally found a shoulder to lean on, while healing her broken heart.
Another insider dished to OK! that Jake and Charlize have been keeping their feelings for each other for so long. They just couldn't find the right time to express their feelings. Now that she's single, this might be it.
The source also added that Jake is much better than Sean when it comes to attitude. The source said that Charlize's ex- boyfriend had a bad temper, while Jake is a more laid back type of guy.
It was in June when Theron and Penn called off their engagement after dating for almost two years. An insider revealed to HollywoodLife that Sean's "seriousness and lack of having fun" were some of the reasons why she decided to end the relationship.
"To be involved with Sean is a full time job. He is a spectacular human being but he can be tiring in his seriousness and lack of having fun," an insider told HollywoodLife. "Charlize was seeing that it was just too intense for her and she needed a breather. She still loves him and respects him to the fullest but she just needed to get out of his intense atmosphere. She is still very young at heart and he plays things by the book."
