Charlize's daughters are growing up fast

Charlize adopted Jackson in March 2012 from her native South Africa and August in July 2015 from the States.

She's been candid about raising her Black children and during an interview with Elle in 2018, she said: "I want them to know who they are, and I want them to be so [expletive] proud of who they are.

"Building confidence for them right now is an oath I made to myself when I brought them home. They need to know where they come from and be proud of that.

"But they're going to have to know that it's a different climate for them than it is for me, and how unfair that is. If I can do something about that, of course I'm going to."

Charlize is raising her daughters by herself

Jackson was born a boy but Charlize revealed in 2019 that she was raising a girl. "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!'" she told the Daily Mail.

"So there you go! I have two beautiful daughters who, just like any parent, I want to protect and I want to see thrive.
