Charlize Theron<\/strong> may be an Oscar winner, but her most rewarding role? Mom.<\/span><\/p>\n

Indeed, the <\/span>Mad Max: Fury Road<\/span><\/em> actress reflected on being a parent to her daughters <\/span>Jackson Theron<\/strong>, 14, and <\/span>August Theron<\/strong>, 11.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a May 10 Instagram post, Charlize shared rare pics with her kids, including one cozying up with them during a nap on a boat, selfies in the sun and enjoying a day out in the city. <\/span><\/p>\n

“The greatest honor of my life,” she wrote alongside the post. “Happy mother’s day to all moms, oumas and godmothers.”<\/span><\/p>\n

For the 50-year-old, being a single mom to Jackson and August\u2014whom she adopted in 2012 and 2015, respectively\u2014has been the most fulfilling journey. <\/span><\/p>\n

“It’s probably one of the healthiest decisions I ever made,” she explained on the <\/span>Call Her Daddy<\/span><\/em> podcast in July 2025. “I love every single day of it. I love that I don’t have to share them with somebody. I love that I don’t have to run a f–king thing by a guy.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Simply put, “This is how I wanted it to be.” <\/span><\/p>\n

Despite being raised by just her mom <\/span>Gerda Maritz<\/strong> after her dad <\/span>Charles Theron<\/strong> was killed by Gerda in self-defense when Charlize was 15, the Oscar winner emphasized that her decision was simply born from what worked best for her.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It looks, from afar, like I’m doing what I know, which is being a single mom because I was raised pretty much by a single mom,” she explained. “But I think I’m raising my kids as a single mom because of avoidance of things I know I don’t want and also understanding who I am fully and being honest with who I am and what I can give.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“At the time, I wanted to be a parent was not somebody who should be having kids with another person,” Charlize\u2014who was most recently linked to <\/span>Alex Dimitrijevic<\/strong> in 2023\u2014admitted. “You have to be that honest because it’s a child’s life.”<\/span><\/p>\n
