The 39-year-old Monster star reportedly adopted her second child last month. The new addition joins big brother Jackson, 3, who Charlize adopted in 2012.
TMZ was first to break the big news:
"We're told Theron worked with an adoption agency for 6 months to seal the deal," the gossip site reveals. "The child, an African-American girl, was born in the United States. Charlize took custody of the newborn in July."
No word just yet on the girl's age, but we can share her name: August!
Charlize, who split with boyfriend Sean Penn in June after nearly two years together, talked about adopting as a single mom back in 2012.
"My mother found [a letter I wrote]. It said, 'Would you please take me to orphanage, so that I can go and adopt a baby?' I always knew I would adopt. Always," recalled the South African native, adding, "You know, I don't think any mother aims to be a single mom. I didn't wish for that, but it happened."
That being said, she's not raising her kids entirely on her own - Charlize has said her beloved dogs were by her side for every change and feeding.
"From the moment this baby came into our home, those two dogs have never been more in love," she says. "It's the most beautiful thing I've ever witnessed."
Congratulations to Charlize and Jackson - and the family dogs, too - on their new addition!
