From the first time the media reported that Sean Penn and Charlize Theron had become a couple, the tabloids were scratching their heads as to what exactly they saw in each other. Well, it's clear what Sean saw in Charlize, but the other way around is still a mystery.

Us Weekly reveals that Charlize is actually a powerhouse and that she's actually calling the shots in the couple. They quote Sean's daughter, Dylan Penn, who says that Charlize “is the only woman since my mom [Robin Wright] who can shut my dad up. The only woman,” she emphasizes.

She adds jokingly, “That is a [expletive] challenge so .. she is a powerhouse.” Dylan gives some insight into the life of the Penn and Theron couple, who are at the moment on location in South Africa, working together on a film – Sean as director and Charlize as actor.

The two actors started dating in late 2013, although they've been friends for longer than that. That's why everyone was taken by surprise, because the two had decided to take their friendship to the next level.

One insider confirms that being together with Charlize has changed Sean Penn, “Sean is revitalized with Charlize.” Though dating for little under a year, the couple is already sparking marriage rumors and even pregnancy rumors.

Both Sean and Charlize have children of their own, Charlize having adopted a son, Jackson, 3, and Sean being the father of Dylan, 19, and Hopper, 21, with Robyn Wright, from whom he split in 2010, after a marriage that began in 1996.

It hasn't been smooth sailing for the new couple, since there were some breakup rumors over the summer. People present on the set of their new movie claimed that, while Sean and Charlize got along famously as friends and as a couple, the same could not be said about their professional relationship, which was tense.

It seems that Charlize was not OK taking directions from Sean on the movie set, or, at least, did not enjoy being bossed around as an actor. Judging by the statements of Penn's daughter, it is not hard to believe those rumors, since it's clear that Charlize likes to have the last word.

But since we haven't heard anything about them splitting up on set or having fights since then, it's safe to assume that they learned to play well together and that they're going to finish making the movie.
