First comes engagement, then comes adoption! Sean Penn has filed to adopt his fiancée Charlize Theron’s 3-year-old son Jackson, sources reveal in the new issue of Us Weekly.
And his bride-to-be couldn’t be more ecstatic.
“Sean always knew that to truly earn a place in Charlize’s heart, connecting with Jackson was one of the most important parts,” a pal close to the Gunman star, 54, tells Us.
The couple, who have been dating for over a year, got engaged while on a trip to Paris this past November. And while they haven’t secured a wedding date yet, they’re still planning on forever together.
“There is still talk of adopting again and giving Jackson a brother or a sister,” the insider adds of the husband-and-wife to-be.
Penn was previously married to Madonna and Robin Wright and is already dad to daughter and model Dylan, 23, and son Hopper, 21.
