If you’re single in 2025, you’ve likely experienced the highs and lows of dating apps. And if it makes you feel better, it sounds like celebs are right there in the trenches with us.
Appearing on Watch What Happens Live this week, Charlize Theron was asked by host Andy Cohen if there’s “any truth to the rumors” that she uses Raya. If you don’t know, Raya is probably the most “exclusive” of all the dating platforms, and while plenty of non-famous people use it, the app has become a bit of a hot spot for single celeb sightings.
So, if you’ve been swiping through Raya and think you’ve spotted Charlize, it turns out it probably was her. Speaking to Andy, the Oscar-winner confirmed that she is a user of the app — although not a very active or enthusiastic one.
“Yes, I don’t do anything with it. A friend put me on it, I went on two dates,” Charlize said, giving a relatable sigh of dating app exhaustion.
In turn, Andy said that he’s on Raya, too, and the pair got into a chat about the kind of guys they’ve come across. (Content warning for any of my dating app users out there.)
“Every guy has a Burning Man picture, and they’re a CEO, like, of nothing,” Charlize said. “Or like, a creative director of nothing,” Andy agreed.
“And then you meet with them and they’re not [a CEO]. They just say it up front — ‘Well, why did you put that on your thing?!’” Charlize asked in disbelief. “No! I don’t like it.”
I don’t like it either, Charlize. Who gave these men the audacity?
