Robert De Niro voices support for trans daughter

 


Hollywood legend Robert De Niro has not hesitated for a second to support his daughter Ayrin, who has come out as transgender. "I loved and supported Aaron as my son, and now I love and support Airyn as my daughter. I don't know what the problem is, I love all my children," the actor told. 

Ayrin proclaimed her gender identity in an interview, and she is one of the seven children of Robert. In her interview, Airyn shared insights about what motivated her to go through with her gender reassignment surgery. She started receiving hormone therapy in November 2024.

She also expressed gratitude towards her parents for keeping her out of the limelight. Airyn said her parents told her they wanted as normal a childhood as possible for her. The interview also touched upon how she was 'femme-presenting' in her teenage years and how she wanted to maintain her femininity further.

Airyn also told that she’s pursuing a career as an actress and model, just like her mom, in hopes of being an “inspiration for at least one other person like [her] who is black, who is queer, who’s not a size extra small.”

De Niro shares Airyn and her twin brother Julian with actress Toukie Smith. The two-time Oscar winner also has five other children, including his most recent baby, Gia, whom he welcomed in 2023 with his girlfriend, Tiffany Chen.
