The funeral service for Jennifer Garner’s father, William Jack Garner, who died in April 2024, had a moving moment. Previously known as Seraphina Rose, the 15-year-old daughter of Benjamin Affleck and Jennifer Garner revealed her new name as Fin Affleck. The West Virginia church’s Facebook page featured a live stream of this touching event.
After Fin’s introduction, a passage from Chapter 16, Verse 8 of the Book of Proverbs was read. Fin’s new style included a short haircut and a suit, white shirt, and black tie. Fin’s quest reached a major turning point when they made their new identity and name public.
Fin’s gender reveal caught the public’s attention and sparked a flurry of responses and remarks. Fin has received both praise and criticism for his decision to identify as transgender. While some have questioned Fin’s bravery, others have applauded it.
Fin’s path is not unique; many famous people’s kids have had similar identity changes. Emme, the kid of Jennifer Lopez, has also come out as nonbinary. Over time, especially since Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez got married, Fin and Emme’s relationship has gotten closer.
During a surprise duet at the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation Blue Diamond Gala in 2022, Lopez used gender-neutral pronouns to speak to Emme. These incidents demonstrate the increasing acceptance and encouragement of people who are experimenting with their identities.
Fin is joining a growing group of young people who are living truthfully and bravely expressing themselves as they start this new chapter.
