Eric Stonestreet had a great Sunday.

The 41-year-od Modern Family star won an Emmy for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series. Tabloid reports emerged that Stonestreet, who split with girlfriend Katherine Tokarz about nine months ago, was dating Oscar-winner Charlize Theron.

But is this funnyman really romancing the Snow White and the Huntsman star?

Nope. Stonestreet took to Twitter to clear up the false report, writing, "I wish people would stop spreading rumors that Charlize Theron and I are dating. Its starting to make Halle Berry jealous."

"That is the definition of our town," he quipped Sunday to Ryan Seacrest. "That I am rumored to be dating Charlize Theron!"

The actor's rep also told People he "has only met Charlize twice" and there "is nothing romantic going on between them."

And that's that.
