The teenage child of famous actors Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner has shared an important detail about their personal identity — a new name. Now known as Fin Affleck, the 15-year-old revealed their chosen name at a recent family event.

Affleck and Garner, who were married from 2005 to 2018, have three children together. Their eldest, Violet, is eighteen, followed by Fin, at fifteen, and their youngest, Samuel, who is twelve. The transitions within the family have been watched closely by fans and the media, with attention often drawn to Ben Affleck’s ongoing relationship with singer Jennifer Lopez.

This past Saturday, Fin attended a memorial service for Jennifer Garner’s father, William Garner. The memorial was held at Christ Church United Methodist in Charleston, West Virginia. During the gathering, Fin, dressed in a sharp black pantsuit and sporting a fresh buzz-cut, introduced themselves to the attendees with heartfelt confidence.

“Hello, my name is Fin Affleck,” they stated clearly, marking the debut of their new name in a significant public setting. Following the introduction, Fin took the time to share a poignant reading from the Book of Proverbs, “Better is a little with righteousness, than a large income with injustice.”

Beyond this public introduction, Fin’s use of their new name wasn’t entirely new to close followers. Recently, they had been spotted with ‘Fin’ embroidered on their backpack, hinting at the name change. This sighting took place at a bus station in Los Angeles, where Fin was seen bidding farewell to their mother, Jennifer Garner.

Though Fin maintains a relatively low profile on social media, one detail that has surfaced is their close bond with Emme Maribel Muñiz, their step-sibling and the daughter of Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony. Emme, who is sixteen, also identifies with gender-neutral pronouns, adding a layer of shared understanding and kinship between them.

The two teenagers were last seen together publicly in February, enjoying each other’s company and strengthening their familial ties.

Earlier this month, Jennifer Garner took to Instagram to share the sad news of her father William’s passing at the age of 85. Her emotional message spoke of how he left them peacefully while his family surrounded him with the familiar hymn, “Amazing Grace.” Reflecting on his life, Garner expressed gratitude for the “healthy, wonderful life” her dad experienced, as well as the love and resilience he always showed.

Her Instagram post resonated with many as she detailed, “We are grateful for Dad’s gentle demeanor and quiet strength. For how he teased with a mischievous smile, and for the way he invented the role of all in, ever patient girl dad. We are grateful for his work ethic, leadership, and faith.” She also expressed her deep appreciation for the medical teams at City of Hope and Charleston Area Medical Center for their compassionate care, which extended his time with the family.

During this period of grief, the Affleck and Garner family have received warm thoughts and comfort from family, friends, and fans alike. The revelation by Fin adds a note of evolving family dynamics, demonstrating personal growth and self-expression during these challenging times.

It’s a reminder of the personal journeys many undergo as they find and embrace their true identities, supported by those they love most.
