The 33-year-old Oscar winner, Charlize Theron is happier than ever as she hit the beach with boyfriend Stuart Townsend in Malibu.

She was sporting a revealing patterned bikini – showed off her bodyboarding skills as the Irish actor looked on.

Charlize and Stuart have been happily together for last seven years now and she says that their relationship has changed her for the better.

She told Elle magazine:

‘He got through to me on a level that no one else did. Stuart made me softer. He was one of the few guys who wasn’t afraid of me. What he saw was not toughness but vulnerability.’

‘I want to know that I wake up every morning with him because I want to, not because a piece of paper says so,’ she said.

We are waiting for your marriage Charlize.
