Charlize Theron isn’t loving online dating — even on celebrity-filled exclusive apps.
Late last year, it was reported that the Atomic Blonde actress joined the popular dating app Raya, shortly after her split from model Alex Dimitrijevic, who she was romantically linked to for about two years.
However, it appears she has since grown tired of it, or at least of the type of people on it.
During an appearance on Andy Cohen’s Watch What Happens Live, the Bravo executive shared a question from a viewer, who asked whether Charlize was on Raya.
“I am,” she confirmed, as Andy quipped: “Oh, yeah? I am, too.” However, she added: “I don’t do anything with it.”
“A friend put me on it, I went on two dates,” she then revealed, before explaining: “Because every week it’s — every guy has a Burning Man picture. And they’re, like, a CEO, like, of nothing.”

“Then you meet with them, and they’re not. I just say it up front. I’m like, ‘Well, why did you put that on your thing?’ No, I don’t like it,” Charlize concluded.

The Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project founder is a mom to Jackson, 12, and August, nine, both of whom she adopted from her native South Africa. And when she isn’t on set, or busy as a mom, she also has various philanthropic efforts she focuses on, including through her own Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project, which she founded in 2007, and which partners with varying community organizations to support African youth.

Does this really matter?'” she said.
She continued: “You just think to yourself, if they can have that fire in their belly living in these circumstances, then God damn it, we should have a tenth of that,” and maintained: “It makes you realize that happiness and enjoying this precious life that we have takes very little.”
