Even the keenest of celebrity watchers may not have heard of Aaron De Niro before late last month. If they have since, it will likely be by a different name, as Oscar-winner Robert De Niro’s 29-year-old child says she now identifies as Airyn, a transgender woman.
“There’s a difference between visible and being seen,” she told online LGBTQ+ online publication Them in April about her transition. “I’ve been visible. [But] I don’t think I’ve been seen yet.”
De Niro, who has seven children in total, said he supported her decision. “I loved and supported Aaron as my son and now I love and support Airyn as my daughter,” the A-lister said, adding: “I don’t know what the big deal is…I love all my children.”
I believe the phenomenon to be a Biblical curse upon Hollywood’s denizens.
