Scarily good looking actress Charlize Theron is rumoured to be dating actor Eric Stonestreet, with the pair said to be enjoying a 'blossoming' relationship.

According to the Mail on Sunday, Charlize is pretty taken with Eric, who plays gay character Cameron Tucker in huge US telly show Modern Family.

Charlize, 37, was introduced to Eric, 41, by mutual friends earlier this year - with the pair posing for this snap at a Vanity Fair party in April before they apparently got together.

A sneaky source close to Charlize reportedly said: "Charlize and Eric get along incredibly well. They started off as friends but things are blossoming between them.

"Eric is down to earth and funny and Charlize thinks the world of him. Its early days but theyre very fond of each other."

Charlize has been single since she split from Stuart Townsend after nine years in 2010, instead concentrating on her adorable adopted son Jackson.

We wonder if Charlize's shaven head was Eric's idea?

Eric was dating long! -term girlfriend Katherine Tokarz until a few months ago.

Here's to hoping he's good with nappies for little Jackson, because Charlize likes to brag about how awesome she is with them.

Eric plays Cameron in Modern Family (really rather well, we might add)

In a new interview, she said: "Ive got to tell you, Im available for other babies' diapers to be changed. I can do it in my sleep now. I am so good.

"I now know how to change a Japanese diaper, a Spanish diaper, an English diaper, a German diaper. Im like the diaper pro now."

There's being a good mum and then there's just bragging.
