Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s Child Announces Gender Transition

The 15-year-old child of Hollywood star Ben Affleck and actor Jennifer Garner recently came out as transgender at a memorial service for Ms. Garner’s father. The child, who now goes by the name Fin Affleck, wore a black tuxedo and a buzz cut and introduced themselves to the gathering.

Fin announced their new name and recited a verse from the Bible during the service. While the new haircut had been noticed earlier this year, the public revelation of Fin’s transgender identity and name occurred on Wednesday.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, who split in 2015, share custody of their three children: 19-year-old Violet Anne, 15-year-old Fin Affleck, and 12-year-old Samuel Garner. Both parents have been vocal about protecting their children’s privacy, with Affleck advocating for laws to blur children’s faces in published photos, similar to legislation in the UK.

Jennifer Garner recently shared the news of her father’s peaceful passing on Instagram, along with photos of her family through the years. She expressed her grief at the loss, while emphasizing the affection and admiration she holds for her father.

The public announcement of their child’s transgender identity and the passing of Garner’s father has brought both personal and family matters into the public eye, as the family continues to navigate the complexities of fame and personal life.
