I'm not dating Charlize Theron, says Eric Stonestreet

New York, Sept 25 (ANI): Eric Stonestreet has laughed off rumours that he's dating Charlize Theron.

He has taken to Twitter to debunk the recent report that falsely linked the two.

According to the Daily Mail, "things are blossoming" between him and the Oscar winning single mother.

"I wish people would stop spreading rumors that Charlize Theron and I are dating. Its starting to make Halle Berry jealous," the New York Post quoted him as saying.

Ryan Seacrest also had a little fun with the tweet.

Before Stonestreet took home the award for Outstanding Supporting Actor for 'Modern Family,' the E! News host asked the comedian to clarify his post about Berry, who is dating French actor Olivier Martinez.

"She was so cold to me this morning, just knife and fork on the plate. I was like, 'Halle, it's just a rumor'," Stonestreet joked.

Stonestreet said that he wanted to know where the dating whispers began.

"I would love to know [where it got started]. But that, for all of you watching at home in America, is the definition of our town. That I am rumored to be dating Charlize Theron," he said.

Stonestreet, who broke up with Katherine Torkaz earlier this summer, invited a pal as his plus one for the awards ceremony.

"I brought my best friend, Paul, who looks nothing at all like Charlize Theron," he said. (ANI)
