“In whatever country they would allow me as a single woman to adopt, that’s where I filed.”

She continued, “And it just happened to be that both my children ended up being American. They were born in the United States and they both happened to be African American.”

Theron said she always knew she wanted to adopt, citing her familiarity with orphanages because of her childhood in South Africa as her influence.

“Even when I was in relationships, I was always honest with my partners, that adoption was how my family would look one day,” she told People in 2018.

“This was definitely not a second option for me. It was always my first.”

Theron has never been married but was in a 10-year relationship with Irish actor Stuart Townsend between 2000 and 2010.

She has also dated Sean Penn and Alexander Skarsgård.
