Are Sean Penn and Charlize Theron Engaged?
by Andy Neuenschwander
Congratulations, maybe, to Sean Penn and Charlize Theron! We think.
According to reports from the Daily Mail and Us Weekly, Theron and Penn are engaged after Penn popped the question during the couple's holiday-season trip to Paris, France.
From the Daily Mail:
"The actor reportedly asked Charlize Theron to 'take their relationship to the next level,' when he proposed on a trip [in Paris] in late November, a source revealed to UsWeekly on Monday.
And the actor looked every bit the doting fiancé as he put a protective arm around Charlize on a trip to the cinema on Sunday night. After sharing a cigarette outside the Los Angeles venue, the 54-year-old led Charlize inside as they chatted animatedly. The outing came as it emerged that the 39-year-old actress and her beau had secretly got engaged, although the beautiful blonde wasn't yet wearing any bling.
The source added: 'There's no ring, but they are committed.' "
Perhaps it's worth pointing out at this moment that Penn has a long history of domestic abuse, including hitting Madonna with a baseball bat back when they were dating.
So, again...congratulations, maybe?
