Marlon Wayans opened up about fatherhood to his transgender child Kai in a candid interview on Tuesday’s The Jennifer Hudson Show.
The Scary Movie star, 52, first revealed in November that his eldest child was transgender, saying ‘I have a daughter that transitioned into a son.’
Discussing how he had adapted to Kai’s transition, a doting Wayans said Kai is ‘the same child they was before — they just got a beard now. Okay! Same baby.’
The father of three – who is also dad to son Shawn, 22 and daughter Axl, 21 months added: ‘Those are my babies. I went through the five stages of grief to get to the beautiful, magical place called acceptance.’
Asked what he had learned through the experience, he said: ‘I learned that I’m a lot stronger than I thought I was. I learned that my family — my brothers, my sisters — have prepared me to be a rock in our family.’
