In a heartfelt and unexpected moment, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s 15-year-old child, formerly known as Seraphina Rose, revealed a new name and identity during a funeral service for Jennifer Garner’s father, William Jack Garner. The service, which was live-streamed on Facebook, marked a poignant moment for the family as they came together to celebrate the life of their loved one.
As Fin Affleck, their child introduced themselves with confidence and poise, reading from Chapter 16, Verse 8 of the Book of Proverbs. The moment was met with an outpouring of support and love from the community, with many praising Fin’s courage and self-awareness.
Fin’s new identity was not entirely unexpected, as they had been spotted carrying a backpack with their new name stitched on it back in February. However, the public declaration was a significant moment, marking a new chapter in Fin’s life.
The reaction to Fin’s announcement was met with a mix of support and criticism. Some praised Fin’s bravery, while others questioned the timing and circumstances of the announcement. Chaya Raichik, of “Libs of TikTok,” sparked controversy with her comments, suggesting that having a child identify as LGBTQ+ was seen as a status symbol in Hollywood.
Despite the backlash, Fin’s family has been supportive of their journey. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, who married in 2022, have been vocal about their love and acceptance of their children, including Fin and Emme, who uses gender-neutral pronouns. The couple’s commitment to creating a loving and inclusive environment for their children is a testament to the power of unconditional love and support.
Fin’s journey is not unique, as many children of celebrities have been openly exploring their identities and expressing themselves authentically. As society continues to evolve and become more accepting, it’s heartening to see families like Fin’s embracing love, acceptance, and inclusivity.
