Charlize Theron hasn't dated anybody for "over five years"

Speaking on The Drew Barrymore Show, she said: "It is strange for people to, kind of, wrap their heads around it.

"I've been on a few dates, but I haven't dated anybody for over five years."

Meanwhile, Charlize previously insisted she is dating herself.

The 'Old Guard' actress said: "Two days ago I was in the car with my two girls and my little one said something like 'You need a boyfriend!' And I said, 'Actually, I don't. Right now, I feel really good,' and she's like, 'You know what, mom? You just need a boyfriend, you need a relationship!'

"She had this look in her eye like she had never really contemplated that that was even a possibility. Her mind was blown. But, I know that was the day that she realised there's a different possibility."

The actress isn't interested in finding a romantic partner, and slammed society for making relationships seem like something everyone "needs and wants".

She insisted: "I really do believe that women really make s**t happen for themselves, and I think this idea of relationships sometimes gets ... society approaches it in a sense of like, obviously that is something you need and want, and that really hasn't been the case for me.

"I don't feel like I'm missing out on something in my life, it's just not something I'm looking out for right now. I think that time will come."
