Theron welcomed daughter Jackson in 2012 and daughter August in 2015, both through adoption.

In September, the Oscar-winning actress attended the Breitling Navitimer cocktail party in New York City and spoke with a crowd about the changes in her household since her older daughter started middle school.

"My oldest just went to middle school and it was literally, it was so sad. I was like, 'Where's my baby?'" the star shared in a Q&A.

"And she was like, 'Mom, please don't look, mom, don't hug me,' " Theron continued. "I was like, 'Can I hug you?' She's like, 'No, no.' Oh my god. It's like a whole different game."

"There's something about having kids that you're so aware of the changes that come and they happen really fast and it's just a tremendous jump from one year to the other. So it's always exciting to see where they're going to go in the next year," added the actress.

In 2018, Theron shared with PEOPLE that she always saw adoption as her pathway to motherhood, attributing it in large part to her childhood 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 said. “This was definitely not a second option for me. It was always my first.”
