Charlize Theron has babies on the brain!
In an interview with Germany’s In Touch, the Oscar-winning actress reveals that she’s ready to start a family on her own, and soon!
“I want a baby,” says Theron, 36, who ended her nine-year relationship with actor Stuart Townsend in 2010.
Although she’s currently not seeing anyone new (that we know of), the South African beauty isn’t pressed about finding a man before becoming a mom.
“If it would happen tomorrow I would still be very happy about it,” Charlize says, expressing that she’s okay with the idea of being a single mother. “I’m open to everything in life.”
This is the height of selfishness. Why bother finding the right man, falling in love, commiting, and building a solid foundation for your family? Heck no, this gal wants a baby NOW and is gonna go out and get one! As long as she gets what she wants, that’s all that’s really important. Never mind what might be best for the baby. She’s 36, she better get busy. I’d hate for anything to interfere w/ her desires and plans for her future.
I used to think that it wasn’t a good idea to have a baby on your own. But now I feel diferently. She might be wanting to be a mom for years, what if she never finds the right guy? So many people split up after having a child together. I think that is worse for a child than just having one parent from the start.
Oh please here come the ‘can’t be a single mom bc it’s selfish police!’
Here is something my SINGLE mother for most of my life taught me growing up: If someone’s life isn’t personally effecting your life…..shut up about it. Not everyone finds the right person to have a baby with and why should someone sit around never fullfilling their dreams of being a mother if they really want to be. We would never tell anyone they couldn’t be a doctor or a lawyer why should we tell someone they can’t be a mother?? I’m sure many single parents provide alot of stability for their children. There are plenty of them in the real world and pleny of them in they hollywood world!! As long as your stable enough to provide for the child and you are 100% sure you ready to dive into having a child on your own nobody should make judgment. Charlize’s life, January’s life, is not YOUR life. I do believe Sheryl Crow adopted not once but twice as a single parent – and you can save the “she saved a life” argument so it’s okay. She still made a choice to bring up her sons with no partner. Denise Richards also just made that decision with Eloise. Angelina Jolie did so with Maddox etc etc etc.
She has the financial resources to provide an excellent environment for for her child. But many of the children who are in single family homes with limited finances and resources do not do nearly as well. These children are much more likely to turn to drugs and crime. Look up the stats which speak for themselves.
But nobody is talking about those situations. In *this* situation, there are virtually unlimited resources. That makes a world of difference.
Some of you people are so painfully ignorant. Being a single mother is not some kind of death sentence for the child. For goodness sake’s.
Come on guys, give her a break. For those of you who don’t remember, her mom had to kill her dad in self defense in front her own eyes. All due to domestic violence.
I think many women nowadays decide to have babies on their own without a man because of how men are in nature. Not all of course.
“Because of how men are” LOL Yeah I think we all know a little about that.
People in the world fans kids jolie pitt than any celeb’s
Yep mabye she’s want to get looks jolie pitt children the same ather celebrity mum
As someone who is raising 3 kids on her own, I find it really, REALLY insulting to hear someone say it’s selfish to be a single parent. My situation was different b/c I got divorced, but it was still a choice I made to be a single mother, just like Charlize may choose to have a baby without a partner, and my kids are doing wonderfully. A heck of a lot better than they would have been if I had stayed with their abusive father simply because kids with 2 parents are less likely to have problems. Man, it was soooo selfish of me to choose my safety! God forbid!!!
I think choosing to have a baby on your own is a lot better than possibly rushing a relationship without even knowing you’re doing it because you want to have a family, and then winding up separating anyway. It takes a lot of strength and bravery to be a single mom, no matter how you get there. And people who haven’t been in these situations need to learn to keep their big mouths SHUT, because they have NO CLUE what they’re talking about.
What kills me is people who continue to have more and more kids with an abusive spouse. What in the world would make you think it would get better if you added another to the family? I know so many woman that use babies as a band aid when it’s obvious the spouse is abusive. I will never understand it.
I’m assuming you’ve ever been in an abusive relationship. For a lot of spouses who are, abuse is something that happens over a long period of time. It can start off as something simple like veiled put downs and withholding things like support and intimacy. It then develops over time, sometimes years, gradually getting worse and worse until actual physical abuse begins. This is why so many women stay with abusive partners, because in most cases the abuse is so subtle that they don’t even realize it’s happening, by the time it starts getting physical, they have been told for so long that they would be useless without said partner that they’re too scared too leave. Also by that time, they probably have had children, b/c they’re not at a point yet where they even realize they’re being abused. And before you start saying anything about how it’s the woman’s fault for not being able to see it what was happening, let me tell you, abusive partners are some of the most manipulative people on the planet. They are experts at not only putting their spouse down and making them feel worthless, they are able to then make them believe it is their fault or they deserve it. They are some of the most skilled liars and actors on the planet. You can’t possibly know what it’s like if you’ve never been through it. You may be able to see the abuse when you’re looking in through the window, but only the people inside the house truly know what’s going on.
