Robert De Niro has expressed his unwavering support for his daughter, Airyn, following her transition. In a candid interview, Airyn, 29, spoke about the journey and the nuances of existence as a trans individual, noting the importance of visibility. De Niro echoed this sentiment, demonstrating love and acceptance while asserting the relationship with his children remains unchanged. This openness reflects broader societal changes in discussions around gender identity and family support. The dialogue also touches on De Niro's experiences with his own father's sexuality and concern for his children's well-being in contemporary society.
"I loved and supported Aaron as my son, and now I love and support Airyn as my daughter. I don't know what the big deal is, I love all my children."
"There's a difference between being visible and being seen. I've been visible, I don't think I've been seen yet."
"Trans women being honest and open, especially [in] public spaces like social media and getting to see them in their success made her realise 'maybe it's not too late for me'."
"I wished we had spoken about my father's sexuality more."
