Robert De Niro’s daughter Airyn comes out as transgender

My position remains that these individuals are spiritually corrupt and that manifests in THEIR physical bodies.  This one is tattooed as well.

Robert De Niro’s daughter is speaking her truth.

At 29, Airyn De Niro is coming out as a trans woman and discussing the surprising motivation that led her to follow through with her gender journey, which included beginning hormone therapy last November.

Speaking candidly with Them in her first-ever interview, the movie star’s daughter, whom he shares with ex Toukie Smith, shared that Halle Bailey’s “The Little Mermaid” in 2023 had a huge impact on her.

“I think a big part of [my transition] is also the influence Black women have had on me,” she explained. “I think stepping into this new identity, while also being more proud of my Blackness, makes me feel closer to them in some way.”

De Niro — who was born with the name Aaron — shared that being a trans woman means “being honest and open, especially [in] public spaces like social media.” Seeing so many before her succeed only added to her desire to come out.

“I’m like, ‘You know what? Maybe it’s not too late for me. Maybe I can start,'” she shared.
