Charlize Theron is enjoying a tropical Hawaiian vacation with her daughters.
The 50-year-old Academy Award-winning actress was photographed walking along the shore while on spring break with her daughters, Jackson and August on March 28.
In the photos, Theron walked on the white sand beach in a strapless yellow bikini, which she paired with black sunglasses.
During an interview with AnOther magazine in February, Theron spoke about aging, acknowledging, “I’m not going to be able to stop this process.”

“I’m not scared of aging,” she added. “I just want mobility for as long as I can possibly have it. I want to be able to feel strong for as long as I possibly can. My mom is 74, and she hikes every morning. The other day she lifted a 78-pound dog into the back of her car like it was nothing. I’m like, ‘OK, I really lucked out with genetics.’”
She then joked that knowing her mom has had two knee replacements makes her feel better, saying, “I have a surgery after every movie, but that’s just making me stronger. I’m going to be bionic by the end of it.”
Theron adopted her older daughter, Jackson, 12, in 2012 and later adopted August, 9, in 2015, as a single mother. During an interview with Alex Cooper on “Call Her Daddy” in July 2025, the actress opened up about her choice to become a single mother, calling it “one of the healthiest decisions I ever made.”
“With women, it’s always, like, something must be wrong with her. She can’t keep a man, and it’s never part of the discussion of like, ‘Wow. She’s really living her truth,'” she said.
“I look at them and just be like, ‘Do you know how f—ing great it is to live exactly how I want to live, to experience motherhood exactly how I wanted to experience it?'”

She went on to say she “love[s] that I don’t have to run every f—— thing by a guy” or deal with a co-parent, adding that she “broke the cycle.”
Theron has spoken in the past about the dynamic between her mother and father. When speaking with NPR in December 2019, she detailed the day her mother shot and killed her father when she was 15 years old after he had come home drunk and shot three bullets through the door she and her mom were hiding behind.
“She ended the threat,” Theron said.
Earlier this year, Theron spoke about the relationship between her mom and dad when speaking with AnOther magazine and explained how seeing her mother navigate that influenced her acting style.
“My mom had a complex relationship with my father, and I think it really informed me,” she said. “Obviously, when I was younger, I had no concept of how complicated people and relationships are.
“And, of course, I wish that she had a wonderful marriage and didn’t have to experience all of that. But I do think that, in many ways, it made me as an actor be more honest in portraying women.”

The “Monster” star grew up in South Africa, reportedly leaving in the early 1990s when she was 16 years old after winning a modeling contest.
When speaking to the outlet, she credited her mom for exposing her to “the concept of art,” detailing how she would take her to the drive-in, the ballet and the opera and the video store.
“Her exposing me to storytelling at a very young age ignited this love for it,” Theron recalled.
At the time, she didn’t know that a career in the arts was possible but found success in the industry after moving to Los Angeles in the early ’90s after a brief modeling career. After years in the industry, Theron says things have changed, saying “you just would never get away with” experiences she had with directors or during auditions.
“I think that’s the most frustrating thing about it for women,” she said. “It’s four steps forward and 20 steps back, but we’ve come a long way since I started, for sure.
“You had to squeeze your way in. And, really, the only way to get in there was to be the trophy, sexy person. The alternative for me was to go back to South Africa, and I didn’t know what I was going to do.

“My parents had a road construction company. Was I really going to do that? I was so driven by wanting to do something in the arts. For me, there was a real focus on how can I go about this so I have longevity?”
