Charlize Theron and Sean Penn were spotted together in Hawaii over the holidays, leading to speculation around the web that they are an item.

The pair met up in Oahu–where Penn has a beachfront home–for the Christmas holidays and spent time together on a beach on New Year’s Eve after doing their own thing separately; Theron sunbathed while Penn went surfing, then the duo met up with a friend in the evening. Later, they were seen at LAX together after stepping off the same plane.

“Charlize and Sean have been friends for years,” a source told People Magazine. “They have been spotted out together several times in the past few years. Even when Charlize was dating Stuart [Townsend]. They both had dinner with Sean several times.”

The actors have been friends for years, and rumors of a relationship have been circling for a while. Theron has also been linked to “Family Guy” creator Seth MacFarlane, but they are reportedly just friends.

“She’s not his type,” a source said back in September. “She’s not young enough.”

While Theron and MacFarlane may not be an item, they are linked professionally; she’ll star in his upcoming film “A Million Ways To Die In The West”, which hits theaters in May.
