“The process, it took around two years," Charlize reveals to Ellen DeGeneres in an interview airing today on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

"My mom said the most beautiful thing. I’m going to cry. She said…'It took me nine months to fall in love with you when you were growing in my stomach.' She’s like, 'It took you two years to fall in love with this little baby,' a teary-eyed Charlize recalled.

“It really took two years of just waiting and then one day the baby is finally there," she explained. "It just feels exactly how it’s supposed to feel. I don’t know how to describe it. It just feels right.”

“From the moment this baby came into our home... those two dogs have never been more in love. It’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever witnessed,” Charlize gushed about her two pups welcoming the baby. “People keep saying, 'Oh you’re a single mom,' and I’m like, 'Actually, I’m not. I got two boys helping me out.' It’s incredible.”
