Emmys 2012: Eric Stonestreet Talks Dating Charlize Theron

What can only be deemed the craziest rumor to surface in recent years has been making the rounds for several days now: Charlize Theron has finally found love in the arms of “Modern Family” star Eric Stonestreet.

Below is a video of his statement to Ryan Seacrest on the red carpet at last night’s Emmy Awards 2012.

Hint: it’s just a rumor, it’s not true, they’re not dating; even so, the rumor has been putting a lot of pressure on his relationship with Halle Berry.

As we also informed you earlier today, Eric won Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for his role on ABC’s hit comedy “Modern Family,” so we can only imagine the Emmy is some consolation that he’s not dating one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood.
