Stop what you’re doing because Airyn De Niro, 29, daughter of the legendary Robert De Niro, just dropped a bombshell. In an exclusive interview with Them magazine, she revealed she’s a transgender woman. Yep, you read that right.
Airyn, who’s been relatively under the radar (for a De Niro, anyway), is done hiding. In a candid chat, she shared that she’s been on hormone therapy since November 2024 and is finally living her truth. “I’ve always known who I am,” Airyn told Them. “This is just the first time I can fully embrace it.”

But hold up, this isn’t just about her. According to insiders, Airyn’s looking to make a serious impact. She’s diving headfirst into mental health work, planning to become a counselor to help marginalized communities—especially Black and queer people. Talk about using your platform for good.
And let’s not forget about the social media reactions. Fans are here for it. “I’ve followed you for years and this is the most amazing thing ever,” one fan wrote on Instagram. Another commented, “Representation matters! You’re a true role model.”
And don’t think Airyn’s dad, Robert De Niro, isn’t in the picture—though the man of few words hasn’t made a public statement yet, sources say he’s always been supportive behind the scenes. So, no drama there.
This isn’t just a personal journey for Airyn—this is her using her voice to push for change. Talk about a De Niro power move.
