Hollywood star's daughter publicly joins the 'rainbow world', how visual is she?

Airyn De Niro - daughter of veteran actor Robert De Niro and actress Toukie Smith - recently officially came out as a transgender woman in an interview with Them magazine.

She hopes her story will inspire others in her community. Airyn, 29, who started hormone therapy in November 2024, describes herself as a “late-transgender” person. She says a big inspiration in her transition came from women of color. In addition, watching other transgender women share their journeys and successes helped her realize that “it’s never too late” to be who she is.

Airyn said her family accepted her as a gay man when she came out in high school. However, she still feared that her family would always see her as the person she was before her transition. Airyn said she felt out of place as the larger person in a family of slim people, and was often judged as “too big,” “not skinny enough,” “not black enough,” “not white enough,” or “too feminine” as a chil.d.

Airyn is now pursuing a career in acting and modeling—like her mother. She hopes to be an inspiration to young people who are like her: “black, queer, not fitting into an XS.” “I want to see more trans women, women of color, plus-size women, or people who are not trendy skinny,” she added.

Robert De Niro was born in 1943 and is a legendary American actor, director and producer in New York. He has won two Oscars for his iconic roles in The Godfather Part II and Raging Bull. De Niro is considered one of the greatest icons of 20th-century cinema.

During his career, De Niro won two Oscars for his roles in The Godfather: Part II (1974) and Raging Bull (1980). In addition, he appeared in classics such as Godfather (1972), Once Upon a Time in America (1984) and The Untouchables (1989). In 2011, he was awarded the Cecil B. DeMille Golden Globe Awar.d for his contributions to entertainment.

At 81, actor Robert De Niro became a grandfather and just welcomed his seventh chil.d, after four relationships. According to ET Canada, De Niro announced the birth of his seventh chil.d, whose mother is martial arts director Tiffany Chen. At the New York premiere of About My Father, the actor told Extra: "I'm fine with having more children, although raising children is never easy."

Many colleagues and friends sent him congratulations. Author of the book De Niro: A Life - Shawn Levy - told Page Six: "When De Niro's seventh chil.d graduates from college, he will be 102. It's crazy. In fact, I have to admit that De Niro is a good father." Meanwhile, according to Extra, the actor's co-star in About Life, Sebastian Maniscalco, said: "God bless him. De Niro is a gentleman, loves to spend time with his family and I'm very happy for him."

The actor's love life has been a subject of media discussion for over four decades, from his on-screen and real-life relationship with actress Diahnne Abbott, his secret relationship with Toukie Smith to his marriage to Grace Hightower.

De Niro married his first wife Diahnne Abbott in 1976 after meeting on the set of Taxi Driver. That same year, they welcomed their first chil.d, Raphael, alongside Drena, the African-American star's chil.d from a previous relationship. According to the Daily Mail, in 1988, Abbott and De Niro divorced after the star discovered her husband was having an affair with singer Helena Springs.

Drena - the eldest chil.d of the actor, followed in her parents' footsteps by becoming an actress and model. In addition, she also actively participated in activities to support abandoned children. Drena's younger brother Raphael started his career as an actor and producer but later switched to real estate investment. According to Reel Rundown, Raphael is one of the most successful real estate brokers in New York today.
