The Hollywood actor Robert De Niro expressed his love and support for daughter Airyn after she shared publicly for the first time she is 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,” Robert de Niro told CNN in a statement. “I love all my children.”
Niro Airyn, 29, is the result of the actor’s relationship with actress Toukie Smith. The heiress talked about her childhood as one of the seven daughters of the Oscar -winning actor and her latest transition in an interview with Them, published this week.
“I’m grateful that my parents agreed to keep me away from the spotlight. They told me they wanted me to have a childhood as normal as possible,” he told the publication.
Recognizing parents’ support, Airyn said he fought against cultural messages that made her feel that she was not “black enough, nor enough. Very feminine, not just enough. It was never just:” You’re perfect, the way you are. “
“Trans being honest and open, especially in public spaces like social networks, and having the opportunity to see them in their success… I think: Do you know one thing? Maybe it’s not too late for me,” he said, who described himself as a “late discovery” about his internal process.
In addition to her father’s support, the heiress was flooded with encouraging messages on social networks after the interview was published. “Thanks to everyone who was so kind and supported me!” He wrote.
