Charlize Theron unimpressed by Raya dating app
Charlize Theron is on the celebrity dating app Raya - but it hasn't proved fruitful for her. The Oscar-winning star was introduced to the app by a friend, but Charlize hasn't had a great experience on Raya so far. During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, the 49-year-old actress shared: "I am [on Raya, but] I don't do anything with it. "A friend put me on it, I went on two dates and then I kind of … it's like, every guy has a Burning Man picture, and they're a CEO of like, nothing. Or like a fitness ... 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?! "No, I don't like it." Meanwhile, Charlize recently revealed that her children are unimpressed by her acting career. The movie star is one of the best-known actresses in Hollywood - but Charlize's kids are underwhelmed by her achievements. During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Charlize quipped: "My children have zero respect for me. "It's just unbelievable, I feel like I'm pretty humble, but every once in a while I'm like 'there's a f****** Oscar right there.' They are so not impressed with me." Charlize - who has adopted daughters Jackson, 12, and August, nine - recalled a recent incident when one of her kids admitted to being impressed by another well-known movie star. She shared: "I was picking up my youngest from dance yesterday and we drove past the new 'Mission Impossible' poster where Tom Cruise is hanging onto some yellow plane, and he just looks really cool. "My kids were with me when I shot 'Old Guard 2' and I worked on this incredibly intricate sequence where we brought in this amazing helicopter pilot, Fred North, and we were gonna choreograph this incredible me fighting helicopters and jumping on this real helicopter and hanging off. Shooting 99 percent of it on a real helicopter as it's trying to shake me off like a rag doll. "We took like two weeks to shoot this sequence and I was like, 'Wow, I just did that, that's really amazing.' And my child yesterday just looked at this poster of Tom Cruise and went, 'It's weird, he looks so much cooler than you did when you were hanging off the helicopter.' "I was just like, 'I hung off the helicopter, [can I have] some credit?'"

Charlize Theron Talked About Being Deceived By Men On Raya, And I Can't Believe These Guys Have The Audacity
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.

Sam Thompson 'back on celeb dating app' hours after split from Love Island star
Sam Thompson is reportedly looking for love again on swish celebrity dating site, Raya, after the Mirror revealed he and Love Island's Samie Elishi had cooled their romance Made In Chelsea star Sam Thompson, is back on celebrity dating app, Raya, just hours after his split with Samie Elishi. The Mirror reported that Sam, 32, and Love Island star, Samie, 25, have called it quits despite being papped locking lips in the street a few weeks ago, with a source telling us: "They both have busy lives, it just didn't work out." Since his split with Samie - and shock separation from ex-girlfriend, Zara McDermott, in December – Sam is now said to be looking for love after taking to 'Tinder for the illuminati', Raya, to connect with a whole host of famous faces, who have been granted access to the exclusive dating site. Sharing screenshots of Sam, reportedly taken from Raya, in which the reality star can be seen larking around with best pal, Pete Wicks in photos which display his name, age and occupation - listed as: 'Presenter/podcaster' - the Mail reports his profile on the site is active. Sam was said to have last been seen on the app, which has been described as 'Tinder for the illuminati' because of its celebrity clients, in March, in the wake of his split from Love Islander, Zara. Meanwhile, Zara has now moved on with One Direction star, Louis Tomlinson, which is said to have left Sam, 'blindsided'. However, after they split, he got back out there and started dating Samie, who he had met during an episode of Love Island's Aftersun. Last month, the pair were spotted in an intimate embrace outside the birthday party of Olivia Attwood, held at Mayfair's Bacchanalia. Cupping Samie's face in his hands, Sam seemed oblivious to onlookers as his fans got quietly excited that a new romance was on the cards. Samie seemed positive about the relationship as she discussed her exes on the Chloe Mediumship podcast. Revealing she had a "gut feeling" in the past about things that 'weren't mean to be', she said she was currently feeling good about her relationship, saying: "There's been no bad stuff at the minute so yeah I suppose it is all positive right now. It's early days." Meanwhile, Sam discussed being single on his podcast with co-host Pete. He said on Staying Relevant that he felt like he was "ready to get out there", explaining: "I feel like I'm at a stage now where I feel confident enough that I can start approaching females." He added: "I feel good, things are really really nice at the moment. And I feel like I'm happy. There's no more brave faces', causing Pete to proudly declare: 'Sam's ready to date!'." However, it looks like Sam is back on the market and will soon be swiping up a storm as he hops back on Raya, looking for love again.
