Alexis Bellino’s Son Has A Different Gender Identity
On October 25, 2022, Alexis took to Instagram to make a shocking revelation about her 15-year-old son, Miles. The former reality TV star shared a photo of her and the young teenager, who had his mouth wide open. In the post’s caption, RHOC star Alexis Bellino confessed that Miles is transgender.
According to the mom of three, Miles asked her to post the news, as he had finally developed a voice and was ready to come out. Alexis said she initially refused to let the cat out of the bag, but Miles was tired of the “misgendering and confusion” people had about him. She further noted:
“I cannot imagine the strength and courage it took for my baby to do this, but I’m extremely proud of him and I want everyone to know that love doesn’t change in these situations.”
The RHOC star mentioned that the teenager first came out to her 16 months ago and hid it from everyone else. But now, Miles has his freedom, and according to Alexis, he smiles naturally for the first time in years. Alexis said her son is proud of who he is and is happy whenever he is addressed as a male.
Overall, the onscreen personality stated that she was fully supportive of her son and was hopeful the world would accept that Alexis Bellino’s son is transgender.
