Rumor has it, the close friendship the 'Hancock' beauty has with the star of 'The Hurt Locker' has put his relationship with girlfriend Jes Macallan on shaky ground.

Charlize Theron has been accused of being the reason why Jeremy Renner's relationship with on-and off-girlfriend Jes Macallan comes to an end. According to Britain's Daily Mail, it was their closeness as friends that may have resulted to the split for good between the star of "The Hurt Locker" and his girlfriend of two years.

"Jeremy and Jes had some good times and last year they got a dog, but early this year they had a brief break-up," a friend was quoted by the publication as recalling what happened before the two called it quit. "They got back together but have been on shaky ground because of Jeremy's close friendship with Charlize."

In late January, reports were surfacing that Charlize Theron has split from her boyfriend of nine years Stuart Townsend. Daily Mail reported that Charlize has told her close friend that her separation from the "Queen of the Damned" actor came after a Christmas trip to Mexico, adding that it was the actress who ended the romance.

Just weeks after, the publication claimed that Charlize is dating Jeremy. "They're keeping things below the radar as Charlize doesn't want to upset Stuart," a source detailed. "But the fact is she is dating again and Jeremy has been spending a fair amount of time with her." People magazine, in the contrary, pointed out that "they're just really close friends."
