Marlon Wayans, Sigourney Weaver, Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade are among the proud celebrity parents who have spoken out in support of their trans and nonbinary children in recent years. From reality stars to Oscar winners, many notable figures shared their children's journeys with the public to promote tolerance and greater acceptance of the trans community. Famous parents like Annette Bening and Cynthia Nixon have become staunch public advocates for the LGBTQ+ community in the wake of troubling political developments, while Wade helped daughter Zaya launch an online safe space for trans kids. Keep scrolling for a look back at the celebrity parents who have proudly spoken about their children's identities: Tia Carrere Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty Images The Wayne's World actress revealed in a May 2025 interview with People that her son, Jude, 19, has come out as transgender. "He's very matter-of-fact. He knows who he is, and he's very happy," Carrere said. "He's such a sweetheart, he's like the therapist to all the other kids. When his friends go out drinking or partying too hard, he's always the designated driver, that kind of caring friend you can always lean on," Carrere, who shares Jude with ex-husband Simon Wakelin, added.

Airyn acknowledged that "no parent is perfect," but credited her mom and dad with raising her away from the "limelight." "I am grateful that both my parents agreed to keep me out of the limelight. They wanted it very private," she said. "They have told me they wanted me to have as much of a normal childhood as possible." Airyn said both parents are accepting of her queer identity, which helped her get to a place that allowed her to feel comfortable sharing her story publicly for the very first time. "I'd want to hopefully be an inspiration for at least one other person like me who is Black, who is queer, who's not a size extra small," she said. "I'd want to see more trans women, more Black women who are maybe bigger-bodied or don't fit the mold of super thin or heroin chic." De Niro expressed his support for Airyn in a statement at the time, saying, "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." Months later, Airyn gushed that De Niro has continued to support her in every way. "The support has still been nonstop from him, and I'm so grateful," she told Them in an October 2025 follow-up interview. "He was talking about how happy he was for me because I have an amazing boyfriend who he's met, and [he said], 'You have somebody who loves you for you, and you don't need to change yourself for anybody.'" Airyn also recalled going to a therapy session with her father, where they discussed her transition. "He said, 'There's no other thing to do than accept your kid for who they are and where they decide to go in life,'" she continued. "He's very good at being a dad and, not just that, [but also] accepting people from all walks of life." Rosie O'Donnell Courtesy of Rosie O'Donnell/Instagram The former Rosie O'Donnell Show host confirmed in March 2025 that she'd moved from the U.S. to Ireland partially to protect her child Clay, who uses they/them pronouns. "Although I was never someone who thought I would move to another country, that's what I decided would be the best for myself and my 12-year-old child," she explained on TikTok at the time. O'Donnell said she planned to stay with Clay in Dublin until the political situation - particularly President Donald Trump's administration - changes in the U.S. Rosie O'Donnell Reveals How Often She Speaks to Lyle Menendez in Prison "I miss my other kids. I miss my friends. I miss many things about life there at home, and I'm trying to find a home here in this beautiful country," O'Donnell told viewers. "And when it is safe for all citizens to have equal rights there in America, that's when we will consider coming back. It's been heartbreaking to see what's happening politically and hard for me personally as well. The personal is political, as we all know." O'Donnely later exclusively told Us Weekly that Clay, who was diagnosed with a form of autism, was coping well with the family's move. "There's a great, great school there. And Clay has done very well. And they were really welcoming," the actress told Us. "And I love the little town, the little village. It's in the heart of Dublin, but it's still a village where you know the name of the grocer and you know the name of the cashiers. People are unbearably kind in a way that shocks me every single day."
