Charlize Theron’s romance with Sean Penn continues to pick up steam.
Surly star Penn acted the doting boyfriend at a celebration for Charlize’s mother Gerda Theron’s birthday Sunday at Spago in LA.
They dined in a private room, where Charlize (above) and Sean sat side by side.
Penn confirmed they were dating at a recent Haiti fundraiser when he said he’d been persuaded to give up his guns by “a beautiful South African woman.”
They were seen holding hands and shopping in the San Francisco area.
