Marlon Wayans Reveals Eldest Child Is Transgender: 'Unconditional Love'

Marlon Wayans is opening up about a big development in his family. During Friday’s episode of The Breakfast Club, the comedian revealed his eldest child is transgender, announcing: We love how open and welcoming he is about it — and how honest he is about still having more to learn!

It’s been a “transition” for the White Chicks star to wrap his mind around and something he plans to address further in an upcoming special called Skittles or Rainbow Child, he explained: Such an interesting perspective that we’re sure many parents will find valuable!

No matter what, the stand-up star just wants his kids, including son Shawn, 21, both of whom he shares with ex-wife Angelica Zachary, to “be free in spirit, free in thought [and] free to be themselves,” he shared: The upcoming comedy special was also performed in front of “world leaders” at a summit because he wanted them to think about “these people and this synapse and how to be inclusive of this next generation.” Such an incredible way to stand up for his child and use his platform for good!

Wayans previously supported Kai when they came out as a member of the LGBTQ+ community in 2019 and it’s wonderful to see nothing’s changed with this new development.
