Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner may not have been able to make their marriage work. However, they’ve seemingly been co-parenting with success since their divorce. The couple share three children together: Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel. The kids are often seen with their parents in paparazzi photos. Meanwhile, recently, the duo’s middle child has gone through some changes and is ready to let the world know. Recently, Seraphina announced their new name, revealing that they’d like to be called simply Fin. The announcement came during the funeral for Garner’s father, who passed away last week.
According to Life and Style, Fin announced their new name during the funeral service, just before giving a speech to honor their late grandfather. “Hello, my name is Fin Affleck,” they said as they stood in a dark suit and tie and showed off their buzzed haircut. However, fans who have been following Affleck and Garner’s family may not have been surprised by the name change declaration. Earlier this year, Fin was seen sporting a backpack with their name embroidered into the fabric.
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s Middle Child Announces Name Change
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner have made no public comments about their child’s name change. However, it seems that Fin Affleck has plenty of love and support. Ben’s wife, Jennifer Lopez, has a child that is gender-neutral. Fin and Emme have become close since their parents tied the knot.
Meanwhile, Pink News reports that some outlets have claimed that Fin has come out as transgender. However, that’s not the case. Fin hasn’t made any public announcements about their gender, sexual orientation, or pronouns.
“I mean this was a very public way of announcing it and it’s always going to be that way because they’re in the spotlight but regardless of that, it isn’t really anyone’s right to judge him or speak on it,” one person wrote via Twitter. “As long as Fin is happy, it doesn’t matter what anyone thinks. It’s her choice, not her parents. They just have to love her unconditionally,” another said.
It looks like Fin has the support of their fans, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, and other family members as they strive to live their best life.
