Charlize Theron has two children, both born via adoption, and the public record identifies the biological fathers and key relationship context for each adoption. Her first daughter, born in 2006, has a father she has not publicly named and who has not sought public involvement. Her second daughter, born in 2012, was adopted with her then-partner Stuart Townsend, and while Townsend was present during the pregnancy and process, the adoption was finalized under Theron’s primary legal custody in South Africa, where same-sex adoption by unmarried couples was not recognized at the time.
