The actress has two daughters, August, seven, and Jackson, ten. She adopted her first from her native country of South Africa in 2012, and her youngest in 2015 in the States.
Though she keeps her personal life largely private, now that her children have certainly developed a mind of their own, she can't help but recount their hilarious opinions, of their mom no less!

Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, the star detailed how August and Jackson are becoming more and more aware of what their mom does for work, and their cheeky thoughts on it.
"In their heads, they're like, 'We know you work, but we're not 100 percent sure what you do,'" she explained.
However, their lack of clarity doesn't save Charlize from their brutal honesty, and she revealed: "My younger one goes, 'Oh my God, Mom, it feels like you can't hold a job.'"
In a rare Instagram post with her daughters, the actress wrote: "My heart belongs to these two beautiful powerhouses. I will never be the same."
It appears as if her older sister also rarely holds back from the blunt truth when faced with the Atomic Blonde lead's career and projects, and she admitted Jackson had a lot to say when it came to her thoughts on her mom's famous Dior ads, in which she often appears without much coverage on her.

However, Charlize had the perfect response to her daughter's embarrassment, saying: "I'm like, 'That will pay for your college!'" before endearingly adding that at the end of the day, "Deep down, like every mother, I just want to [expletive] impress them."
