Charlize Theron Children: Meet Jackson and August
Jackson and August are the children of Charlize Theron.
Theron has adopted two children: a daughter Jackson in March 2012 and another daughter Jackson in July 2015.
Theron has been interested in adoption since childhood, when she became aware of orphanages and the overflowing numbers of children in them.
In April 2019, Theron revealed that Jackson, then seven years old, is a transgender girl. She said of her daughters, “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”.
