Charlize Theron was seen spending time with her daughter August in Los Angeles on Thursday.

The 47-year-old performer appeared to be in high spirits as she enjoyed the company of her youngest child, aged seven, as they left a restaurant.

The actress – who embraced a shorter haircut last year – is a proud mother of two daughters.

Theron wore a pink overcoat on top of a white t-shirt bearing the cover for the The Velvet Underground & Nico’s self-titled 1967 album while enjoying August’s company.

The Mad Max: Fury Road actress also rocked a pair of form-hugging black leggings that were contrasted with stark white sneakers.

The South African native kept her belongings close in a leather purse that was slung over her right shoulder.

Her gorgeous blonde hair was cut short and fell towards her shoulders during the outing.

Theron began her adoption journey when she welcomed her first child Jackson, aged 10, into her life in 2012.

The performer waited for three years before adopting August in 2015.

The actress’ daughters have made sporadic appearances on her Instagram account over the past few years.

Theron previously spoke about the process of becoming a mother of adopted children during an episode of the InCharge With DVF podcast and expressed that she had been interested in adoption from an early age. 

‘My mom, when I went through my first adoption, actually showed me the letter. I was connected to the idea of having a family through adoption when I was 8 years old,’ she recalled.

The performer went on to remark that she felt humbled to have been able to figure out when she wanted to start a family.

‘That whole process was incredibly empowering for me as a woman. The fact that I got to choose when I wanted to be a mom…I travel a lot and I see a lot of young girls not have that choice,’ she said.

Theron then stated that she felt particularly empowered in her decision to start a family on her own terms.

‘There is a great power in choosing to be a mother and then doing it when your body, your mind and everything is celebrating all of that,’ she said.
