But how much do you really know about these cutie pies? Stick around, because we’re diving deep into their lives and what makes this family so special.

Back in March 2012, the 41-year-old star of Snow White and the Huntsman welcomed her first child, son Jackson, into her life through adoption. Fast forward a few years, and in July 2015, Charlize added another bundle of joy—her daughter August. In a candid interview with British Vogue, she opened up about her desire for a family: “I’ve always been very honest in saying I wanted a family. I’ve always known I wanted one.” And as for her parenting style? “I hope I’m fair, tough, and supportive,” she shared.

Inside Charlize’s Heartwarming Family Life

In a 2016 interview, Charlize gave fans a glimpse into her kids’ adorable sibling bond. “Watching their relationship is like witnessing something sacred and beautiful,” she told Extra. “I was an only child, so to see this connection between them is truly amazing.” She went on to describe the sweet dynamic between Jackson and August: “Jackson will walk into a room and not even look at her, but August just lights up. It’s such a pure form of love.”

Understanding Love Beyond Romance

Charlize also reflected on the different kinds of love she’s experienced throughout her life. “As you grow older, you realize there are so many forms of love,” she said. “When we’re young, especially as girls, we tend to focus on romantic love. But as a parent, the love you feel for your children is something else entirely. And then there’s the love you share with your girlfriends, your family—it’s all so profound.”
