While Theron has raised her daughters away from the spotlight, she often shares adorable details about them and their dynamic. Most recently, Theron revealed that her daughter August loves rock climbing, a sport that Theron pursued as she prepared for her new film "Apex." In an interview with E! News, Theron shared that she was trained by a professional rock climber called Beth Rodden.
"She's a bit of a daredevil," said Theron to E! News. "Beth and I would be working on one side, and whenever I got tired, I would just look over, and the two of them were just going up these walls."

Theron adopted Jackson in 2012 and August in 2015. In interviews, she's discussed how important it was for her to adopt, deciding to raise them as a single mother. "Even when I was in relationships, I was always honest with my partners, that adoption was how my family would look one day," she said in an interview with PEOPLE. "This was definitely not a second option for me. It was always my first."
