After having broken up with his long-term girlfriend this month, Eric Stonestreet has moved on.

Sources reveal that the Modern Family actor has gotten close with Oscar-winning actress Charlize Theron, whom he met through mutual friends. "Charlize and Eric get along incredibly well. They started off as friends but things are blossoming between them," a source close to the actress said.

While the romance is relatively new, the insider added that "Charlize thinks the world of him. It’s early days but they’re very fond of each other."

Theron was previously engaged to Irish actor Stuart Townsend, with whom she broke up in 2010. Theron has also been linked to Prince Harry and Keanu Reeves in the past.
