Apparently Sean Penn and Charlize Theron are actually an item and not just a rumor. At least if Piers Morgan is to be believed.

Morgan was attending one of Penn's charity events where he witnessed that the couple -- who had tongues wagging when they vacationed in Hawaii together for the New Year -- were in fact a couple.

Furthermore, Morgan claims Penn confirmed this to him directly.

As he wrote in a column for Britain’s Event magazine, "At 2am, Sean came over, and bear-hugged me. 'Congrats on a great night,' I said. 'And congrats on Charlize too.' He laughed. 'She’s a keeper, that’s for sure… well, I’ll do my best to keep her anyway!'"

He then recalls another encounter with Theron in the evening, in which he told the actress, "'I’m so glad you two have got together ... Sean’s a great guy.' '‘I know,' she smiled, putting her hand round his shoulder."

So there you have it, Piers Morgan master spy has figured it all out for you. So start planning their imaginary wedding now!
