Theron and Townsend split - report

Charlize Theron has reportedly split from her partner of nine years, Irish actor Stuart Townsend.

The actress – who first met Townsend on the set of ‘Trapped’ in 2001 – has told friends she split from the Irish actor after a trip to Mexico over the Christmas period, and has now stopped wearing an antique commitment ring he had given her as a sign of his love.
