Charlize Theron adopted her eldest child, Jackson, in 2012 and adopted a second daughter, August, in 2015. Theron is a passionate LGBTQ+ ally who limits public appearances with her children but occasionally shares Instagram snapshots of family trips to New York City and Disney World. Jackson is a transgender daughter who asserted her identity at age three. Theron emphasizes that her children are born who they are and that their identities and choices are not for her to decide. Theron describes having two beautiful daughters and expresses hope to see them thrive. Family outings shown on social media have included Broadway shows, a giant ice cream sundae, posing in front of a rainbow-painted wall, and riding the Tron Lightcycle Run.
I was always aware that there are so many children in this world who don't have families. "Adoption is a very personal thing - I know people whom I love dearly who don't feel that they could raise another child as their own. I respect that."
Yes, I thought she was a boy too. Until she looked at me when she was three years old and said: 'I am not a boy!'
They were born who they are and exactly where in the world both of them get to find themselves as they grow up, and who they want to be, is not for me to decide.
