Charlize Theron’s Adopted Baby May Be Why She’s Still Single

Charlize Theron has finally gone public with the adorable new man in her life -- her adopted son, Jackson. Theron was photographed with the tot in France, and they're both wearing loose-knit, blue-hued sweaters. Cute!

In the May issue of UK's Vogue, Charlize says:

I've always been very honest in saying I wanted a family. I've always known I wanted a family. I don't think my mom could wait anymore!

Hm, who is Charlize talking to? Who was she "very honest" with? Could it have been her ex-boyfriend, Stuart Townsend? Hmm?

Townsend and Charlize broke up in 2010 after 9 years together. Charlize has been vocal that the break-up was extremely difficult for her, though neither party has ever said what exactly the cause of the split was. Could it have been that Charlize was ready for a family and Stuart wasn't?

Hey, I'm just speculating! But, let's face it, one person wants a kid, the other doesn't, or one person wants a kid now, one wants it later -- these can be serious dealbreakers. I do know couples who have compromised on the matter. For instance, I know a couple where the man wanted two kids, the woman wanted zero. So they had one kid. I also know a couple where the man finally agreed to have a child even though, from day one, he'd told the woman he didn't want children. And I know a couple where the guy was pressing for a kid, and the woman wanted to wait a couple of years, so they decided to try (and succeeded!) in six months.

However, if one party is determined to have a child, and one party is determined not to -- well, that's a recipe for a break-up if I've ever heard one. At any rate, I have no idea what went on between Charlize and Stuart. I just know that Charlize is super happy to be a mom and Jackson looks pretty keen on it too!

    Personally, I liked the trendy dogs of 10 years ago.

    "Jackson"? Seriously? That's just as bad as Sandra Bullocks kid "Louie".

    Wow.

    For everyone that is so quick to claim the adoption of a minority child being Charlize wanting a 'trend baby' you are clearly unaware of how popular a white baby is. The majority of babies available for adoption are typically minorities. Would it have been better for you if she had rejected all the minority children and waited for her mail order white baby?

    The kid's American. Also, who cares what color he is? He needed a home, she gave him one. Haters gonna hate.

    I am glad these babies are going to a good home, as long as mommy doesn't parade the kid around like last years gucci bag but have to say I am tired of seeing how easy it is for famous people to adopt, what about loving caring couples who can't conceive? Having trouble adopting? It being so hard and expensive?

    Seriously, what's with all the racist bullshit? Who cares if the baby's black, brown, yellow or purple! And, to the author, seriously?!?! You're going to make random speculations based on the fact that Charlize Theron just adopted a baby so that MUST be the reason she broke up with some dude 2 YEARS ago? Maybe they were incompatible on something else all together, maybe the "baby" conversation never came up. OK that last one is doubtful considering how long they were together, but still. And Jalaz77, how do you know it's SO easy for celebrities to adopt? All you see is the end result, when they actually have the kid. You're not with them when they sign up, are you? How do you know that they weren't declined at an agency? I'm so sure they just walk in to an orphanage and the workers just start throwing babies at them, "Here, pick this one, no no that one."
