It was reported over the weekend that perpetual hottie Charlize Theron is dating “Modern Family” star Eric Stonestreet, presumably because the pair have been photographed recently hanging out at industry events and after-parties.

But Stonestreet recently took to Twitter to jokingly acknowledge the rumor and shoot it down.

Though both actors are single–Stonestreet just ended a relationship with longtime girlfriend Katherine Torkaz, and Theron’s last public relationship was with Stuart Townsend in 2010–sources close to both say they are just friends.
