Robert De Niro is showing his unwavering support for his daughter Airyn, who recently came out as transgender. In a statement to TMZ, De Niro said, "I loved and supported Aaron as my son, and now I love and support Airyn as my daughter." He added, "I don't know what the big deal is ... I love all my children." Airyn, who was born Aaron and has a twin brother, Julian, came out as transgender in an interview with Them, an online LGBTQ+ media outlet. She also discussed her struggles with body dysmorphia, explaining that she was often told she didn't fit societal expectations. Airyn began hormone therapy last November. De Niro has seven children in total; Airyn's mother is actress Toukie Smith.
