Stuart Townsend: Charlize Theron is My Wife

Charlize Theron and Stuart Townsend are husband and wife (but not legally). During a dinner party at The Supper Club, the couple even showed off their rings (he has a silver cross-shaped band on his ring finger).

“I’m married,” Stuart told People. “I didn’t do a church wedding or anything, but we’re married. We’re husband and wife. “We love each other and we want to spend our lives together. [She's] the greatest woman I’ve ever met.

“We didn’t have a ceremony. I don’t need a certificate or the state or the church to say otherwise. So no there’s no big official story on a wedding, but we are married. … I consider her my wife and she considers me her husband.”

Stuart, 34, and Charlize, 32, met seven years ago on the set of Trapped. Theron attended the Toronto Film Festival to support Townsend‘s directorial debut film, Battle in Seattle, a dramatized look at the 1999 World Trade Organization convention and the protests that overtook the city of Seattle and caused a state of emergency. Theron also stars in the film.

“It was really amazing tonight to premiere the film with her,” Townsend said. “She’s proud and she was crying, so it’s as important to her as it’s important to me. We’re a team and we’re in this together. That’s what you do. You look out for each other.”
