Charlize Theron showed off her grown-up children

Charlize Theron posted archival photos with her adopted children on social media on Mother's Day. The actress posted photos of herself spending time with Jackson and Augusta, now 14 and 11 years old. She captioned her post: "The greatest honor of my life! Happy Mother's Day to all the moms, grandmothers, and godmothers."

The 50-year-old actress has two adopted children. She initially adopted Jackson as a boy* in 2012, but a few years ago, the child asked to be called a girl. In 2019, Charlize confirmed that Jackson is transgender*: she allows him to wear girls' clothes and long braids. The actress adopted her second child, Augusta, in 2015. It's worth noting that Charlize Theron's parenting methods are often criticized by the public: many have condemned her for indulging the desires of her underage eldest child and dressing her son in dresses and skirts.

Charlize Theron is unmarried and consciously chooses her single status, preferring one-night stands over serious relationships. The actress has previously stated that she has no plans to marry anyone while her adopted children live at her home. However, she has had numerous celebrity romances: in the 1990s, she dated actor Craig Bierko, and later, Third Eye Blind frontman Stephen Jenkins. She also lived with actor Stuart Townsend for eight years. In 2013, she began dating Sean Penn; a year later, they announced their engagement, which they eventually called off. Her last reported romance was with model Alex Dimitrijevic, but they broke up in 2024.
