Heather Dubrow announced on Saturday that her youngest child has come out as transgender.
The “Real Housewives of Orange County” star took to Instagram on Saturday and shared the news in honour of international sons day. Dubrow posted a photo at the beach with the name Ace written in the sand.
“It’s International sons day! We love you, our youngest son, Ace,” she captioned her post. “Our job as parents is to give our kids a safe and supportive environment so they can grow up as healthy, happy, confident, independent humans. Since Ace is a 12 year old child, with a long life ahead of him – we will let him tell his own story someday if he chooses to do so. All we can say is Ace, we love you so much and we are proud to be your parents. Your brother and sisters love and support you too.”
