âJustice League' star Ben Affleck's daughter Seraphina Rose has come out as transgender. The 15-year-old introduced their new name Fin at the memorial service of their mother and actress Jennifer Garner's father William John Garner. Held at a church in West Virginia, Fin was seen sporting a buzz cut with a black tuxedo. A viral video shows them saying, "Hello, my name is Fin Affleck."
The âArgo' star and director shares three children with ex-wife Jennifer Garner- Violet, Fin, and Samuel - and the couple tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in 2005. Sadly, their union came to an end in 2015, and Ben entered a treatment facility for alcohol addiction two years later. After completing his stint, he thanked Jennifer for supporting him and caring for their kids while he was in rehab. The couple officially filed for divorce shortly afterward, ending rumours of a reconciliation.
