London: Charlize Theron never planned on becoming a single mother until she decided she wanted to adopt.
The Oscar-winning actress - who gave a home to baby Jackson, who is from her native South Africa, in March - had always thought about adopting but never contemplated doing it without a man in her life.
The Prometheus actress told Australian magazine Madison: "You know, I don't think any mother aims to be a single mom. I didn't wish for that, but it happened.I always knew I would adopt. Always."
Charlize - who stars alongside Kristen Stewart in her new film, Snow White and the Huntsman - spilt from her partner boyfriend of 9 years, Stuart Townsend, in 2010.
She said: "It has never been that important to me. I don't know why exactly. Some might say it's because my parents didn't have a good marriage, but I don't think so. I treat my relationships like marriages. The ceremony isn't that important to me."
