The actress made the unexpected revelation shortly after a comedic moment during the 2024 Oscars.
Charlize Theron sent shockwaves through social media as she casually announced her marriage on Instagram.
The unexpected revelation came shortly after a comedic moment during the 2024 Oscars, where Theron found herself entangled in a humorous skit alongside Jimmy Kimmel Live's Guillermo Rodriguez.
During the ceremony, Guillermo took center stage, distributing tequila to the audience while declaring his love for his "beautiful wife, Ms. Charlize Theron." Although part of a scripted bit, Guillermo's affectionate proclamation sparked laughter and amusement throughout the venue, including Theron herself.
Dressed in an exquisite silver Christian Dior silk gown, Theron appeared visibly surprised by Guillermo's antics but embraced the moment. Joining in the laughter, she indulged in a shot of tequila, sharing a lighthearted exchange with those around her. "Wow," she quipped, "I didn't know we were married."
Following the event, a social media user sparked a wave of speculation by claiming that Theron and Guillermo were actually married.
Seizing the opportunity to engage with the rumor playfully, Theron took to Instagram, sharing a photo of the post and adding her humorous twist.
"Oh, and I got married! Love you, honey! ❤️@iamguillermo #Guillermotilldeathdouspart #Oscars," Theron wrote, jokingly fueling the buzz surrounding the playful exchange at the Oscars.
Kimmel and Guillermo were ecstatic upon seeing Theron's Instagram post about the "marriage." The duo gleefully delved into Theron's Instagram antics during Tuesday's Jimmy Kimmel Live, sharing a hearty laugh over the humorous exchange and posting, "Congrats to the happy couple! 😍🎉."
Meanwhile, Theron playfully teased her "marriage" to Guillermo once more. The actress returned to Instagram on Thursday, sharing a carousel of photos with a caption that read, "Made some new friends, partied with old friends, celebrated incredibly talented friends, got married. Busy week for me."
Away from the glitz and glamour of awards shows, Theron's personal life has long been a public fascination. The Fast X actress, a devoted mother to her daughters Jackson, 12, and August, 8, was previously known to be in a relationship with model and brand consultant Alex Dimitrijevic.
Despite her high-profile status, Theron has been refreshingly candid about her cautious approach to romance. In interviews with Harper's Bazaar and on The Drew Barrymore Show, she has openly discussed her hesitancy to re-enter the dating scene, emphasizing the importance of substance and genuine connection in any potential relationship.
"I feel like I’m in a place in my life where you gotta come with a lot of game," she told Barrymore in 2022. "Not the kind of game that we think of. The kind of game that’s like: ‘My life is really good, so you better be able to bring that and maybe better,’ because I just won’t accept anything less."
