Jamie Lee Curtis was a picture of pride as she hit the red carpet with her adopted daughters Ruby, 26, and Annie, 35, at the premiere of Halloween Ends in Los Angeles on Tuesday night.
In July 2021, Curtis revealed to the world that her youngest daughter is male-to-female transgender and had changed her name from Thomas to Ruby.
The couple adopted Ruby back in 1996 when she was a newborn.
A male-to-female transgender person (MTF), often referred to as a trans woman or transgender woman, is someone who was assigned male at birth but identifies as female.
Curtis proudly told AARP magazine that she and husband Christopher Guest, 74, “have watched in wonder and pride as our son became our daughter Ruby.”
Curtis arrived at Tuesday’s star-studded premiere hand-in-hand with Ruby and Annie, who was adopted by the actress and husband Guest in 1986.
The actress has previously showed support for trans people going back several years, and in 2017 shared a Huffington Post article on Twitter: “Dear Trans Kids. The letter we all wish we had written. (from a trans teacher).”
Last year, she also signed on to direct and star in a TV movie about GLAAD Media Institute alum Sara Cunningham. Cunningham is the founder of Free Mom Hugs, which celebrates the LGBTQIA+ community. She also spoke excitedly about Ruby’s upcoming nuptials.
Curtis’ children are private — and have only attended a handful of events with their mom — but Ruby gave her mom the OK to share two pieces of personal information with AARP, the other being her impending nuptials.
