It was always my first.”

In 2024, Theron joked about the difficulties that come with having preteens. “Oh, my god, they’re so embarrassed by me constantly,” she told E!. “They’re kids, they’re girls, you know? I have a preteen and I feel like I have a nine-year-old who thinks she’s a 13-year-old,” Theron said It’s a lot of girl in our house.”

In 2025, Theron once again opened up about her daughters, now in their teens. “I’m getting my ass handed to me,” she said. “And by the way, that’s teenagers. I know I’m not the only one. It’s a house full of women. And we have great moments, and we also have real struggles.” However, she added that they’re “incredibly empathetic kids.”
