Charlize Theron Shares Extremely Rare Pic of Her Two Daughters in New Instagram Post

Charlize Theron celebrated her 45th birthday the best way possible—with a Zoom party surrounded by her friends and family. 

Over the weekend, the Mad Max: Fury Road star took part in a virtual chat to honor the milestone. Lucky for us, she shared a screenshot of the video call, which featured her mom, extended family, friends and, of course, her two young daughters. 

“My first virtual birthday party...I think my mom fell asleep 5 min in,” she captioned the post. “Thank you to everyone for the bday wishes! 2020 has been a rough one but today was a bright spot for sure.”

The actress has been known for keeping her private life, including her relationships and family, out of the public eye. Not to mention, this is one of the first times she’s posted a photo of her two daughters, Jackson and August, in almost a year. 

Theron adopted Jackson in 2012 and as a single mother, she gave Jackson a sister, August, in 2015.

The actress has always been open about why she chose adoption (due in large part to her upbringing in South Africa and early exposure to orphanages and children in need in her community).

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

Happy belated, Charlize! It looks like you were surrounded by love and smiles.
