Hey there, folks! Today, we're diving into the world of celebrity parenting, specifically focusing on those who've publicly supported their transgender kids. Let's kick things off with Liev Schreiber, who proudly spoke about his daughter Kai. In an interview with Variety, Schreiber shared how Kai, 16, asked the family to change her pronouns, marking a profound moment in both their lives.
Schreiber, star of "Ray Donovan," pointed out that Kai's coming out didn't feel like a big deal because she'd been so feminine for so long. Recalling the moment, he praised her as "such a fighter." Though Schreiber didn't specify the timeline, Kai's journey is similar to those of other celebrities who've dived headfirst into accepting their children for who they truly are.
Several celebs, such as former NBA star Dwyane Wade and actors Marlon Wayans and Robert De Niro, have bravely advocated for their transgender children. Recently, De Niro publicly supported his daughter Airyn (formerly known as Aaron) after she came out in an interview with Them. "I love and support Airyn as my daughter," De Niro said, emphasizing that he loves all of his children equally.
Marlon Wayans, on the other hand, didn't hesitate to call out Soulja Boy for spewing transphobic remarks against his own trans son. Wayans used the incident to make a light-hearted joke about Soulja Boy's career, reminding us that love and support can still come with a touch of humor!
Kai, a model, made her professional debut in Valentino's fall/winter '25 campaign. While Schreiber admits that Kai's coming-out was relatively quiet, he encourages her to be proud and open about her identity. He offers insightful advice to parents, stating, "Teenagers are a headache. But a trans teen is a teen. They're such a pain so much of the time, and Kai is as feisty and outspoken as they come!"
The list of celebrities supporting their transgender children doesn't stop there, with the likes of Colin Mochrie, Jennifer Lopez, Naomi Watts, and Liev Schreiber standing by their kids every step of the way. These stars prove that love for your children can transcend boundaries, inspiring us all to be more accepting and understanding in our everyday lives.
