In a touching moment during a family memorial, Seraphina Rose Affleck, the 15-year-old child of actors Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, revealed a deeply personal change—introducing themselves as Fin. The occasion was a tribute to Garner’s late father, William Jack Garner, whose passing in 2024 brought the family together in West Virginia. The ceremony, live-streamed on social media, became a platform for Fin to share their truth with quiet confidence.
Dressed in a sharp suit and sporting a shaved head, Fin stood before the gathering and recited a meaningful verse from Proverbs, emphasizing integrity over material wealth. The choice of attire and name wasn’t entirely surprising—earlier in the year, paparazzi had spotted Fin carrying a backpack monogrammed with their new name, hinting at this evolution long before the public announcement.
As expected, reactions poured in from all sides. While many fans celebrated Fin’s bravery, others, like commentator Chaya Raichik, dismissed it as a “Hollywood trend,” comparing it to owning a designer accessory. But for Fin and their family, this was far from a fleeting phase—it was a sincere step toward self-discovery.
Fin’s journey mirrors that of their stepsibling, Emme, Jennifer Lopez’s child, who also identifies as nonbinary. The two have grown close since Affleck and Lopez rekindled their romance, often appearing together at family events. Lopez has been vocal in her support, even correcting pronouns during public appearances.
At its core, Fin’s story is about authenticity. In a world quick to judge, their family’s unwavering support sends a powerful message—love isn’t about conformity, but acceptance.
