They have only been publicly dating for four months.

But it seems things could be getting serious, as actor and director Sean Penn was seen arriving in South African girlfriend Charlize Theron's home country on Tuesday as they prepare to get to work on a new movie together.

Sean, 53, was spotted arriving at Cape Town airport struggling with a large black duffel bag, whereas girlfriend Charlize, 38, was no where to be seen.

Going somewhere? Sean Penn was spotted arriving in Cape Town by himself carrying a large duffle bag

The Academy Award winning actor was dressed down for the occasion, in a dark check shirt, grey jeans, khaki jacket and neon green and blue trainers.

Charlize, who is originally from Johannesburg, has been spending the last nine months in Cape Town to film her latest movie Mad Max Fury Road, with Sean being spotted visiting the blonde beauty several times on set.

The Gangster Squad actor could also be in South Africa as his latest directorial project The Last Face is due to be shot in the country.

The film will also star girlfriend Charlize and Javier Bardem against the back drop of a war torn Africa.

Charlize will star as the director of an international aid organisation working in Liberia who becomes romantically involved with a relief-aid doctor, played by Bardem.

Since going public in February the couple have been spotted at a number of red carpets, and most recently side by side at the Dior Haute Couture Fall/ Winter 2014-2015 show in Paris on July 7.

While they have only been dating for four months things are already getting serious, Sean is said to be desperate to whisk the actress down the aisle and make her wife number three.

However it seems the Oscar winner is not so keen on the idea, as she recently said: 'Sean and I have known each other for 18 years. We were just really good friends.

'And it's been slow going because you are aware that you could screw that up and lose it'.

Sean Penn is so overrated. Nasty temper and a bed that looks like an un-made bed. She had a father with a temper - you think she would know better.

"Nasty temper and a bed that looks like an un-made bed." You know this makes no sense right?

Rude. Unbelievably rude. Her Father had a drinking problem and was violent when intoxicated. Doesn't mean he was that way 24/7. Charlize appears to be mature enough to handle her own business. Many photos of her Mother with Sean so if there was something wrong I am sure she'd say something. Both of these people are very Liberal politically. His temper was directed at paparazzi whom he blames for ruining his first marriage. We are not in their shoes.
