As far as adopting a baby together, that will also come soon.

'Charlize always intended to have another child,' a source told the magazine. She already has son Jackson, aged two.

And the ex-husband of Madonna and Robin Wright - with whom he has two children (23-year-old Dylan and 20-year-old Hopper) - has been bonding with the cover girl's little guy.

'He is a father figure to him,' UsWeekly insisted.

Sean was seen arriving on Tuesday in Cape Town for his directorial effort about a doctor, played by Charlize, who performs humanitarian relief work in Africa amidst violent political conflicts in the region.

'She meets another doctor (played by Javier Bardem) who is doing the same work, and the story revolves around tough moral decisions that must be made during time of civil unrest,' according to Deadline.

Not another charity celeb adoption. If they had solid relationships fine but no adoption. Better to donate money and do charity work they would help far more children.
