During an emotional memorial service for Jennifer Garner’s late father, William Jack Garner, a surprising and heartfelt moment unfolded. Seraphina Rose, the 15-year-old child of Garner and ex-husband Ben Affleck, stepped forward and introduced themselves as Fin Affleck. The intimate gathering, held at a West Virginia church and shared online, became the setting for this personal revelation.
Fin, dressed in a crisp suit and tie with a freshly shaved head, radiated quiet confidence as they read a passage from the Bible. The verse they chose—Proverbs 16:8—spoke of righteousness over riches, a poignant reflection of their values. Those following the family closely might have seen hints of this change earlier, as Fin had been spotted with a backpack bearing their new name months prior.
The news quickly spread, drawing mixed reactions. Supporters praised Fin’s courage, while skeptics, like commentator Chaya Raichik, dismissed it as another celebrity “phase.” Yet, for Fin, this was no trend—it was a deeply personal decision, backed by a loving family.
Notably, Fin isn’t alone in their journey. Emme, Jennifer Lopez’s child with Marc Anthony, also identifies as nonbinary, and the two have formed a close bond. Lopez has been a vocal ally, even using Emme’s correct pronouns on stage.
Fin’s story highlights a growing reality—more young people are embracing their true selves, even under public scrutiny. And in Hollywood or anywhere else, that bravery deserves recognition.
