"Maybe it's not too late for me," Airyn De Niro said.
Robert De Niro’s daughter Airyn came out as transgender in a news article Tuesday, saying she began hormone therapy in November.
“I think part of me is concerned that [my family] will maybe still think of me as the person I was before the transition,” she told the outlet Them.
But she is confidently moving forward.
“There’s a difference between being visible and being seen,” Airyn said. “I’ve been visible. I don’t think I’ve been seen yet.”
Airyn De Niro and twin brother Julian were born to the Oscar-winning actor and then-girlfriend Toukie Smith in 1995. Her parents helped her keep a low profile growing up, she said. Recent tabloid reports about her feminine appearance forced her into the public eye.
