Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck’s 15-year-old daughter Seraphina Rose made her first official appearance under a new name, Fin, at a memorial service for Jennifer’s father last weekend.
Wearing a black pantsuit and buzz-cut hairstyle, Fin introduced herself by her new name before reading a bible verse to the congregation at Christ Church United Methodist in Charleston, West Virginia on Saturday.
Fin has been pictured with her new short cropped hair as early as February this year, but the funeral was the first time the top actors’ kid introduced herself in public with a new name.
The memorial service, streamed live on Facebook, was for Jennifer Garner’s father William Jack Garner, who died a week earlier age 85.
Following William’s other grandchildren, Fin introduced herseld at the church lectern saying: ‘Hello my name is Fin Affleck,’ then read Chapter 16, Verse 8 from the Book of Proverbs: ‘Better is a little with righteousness, than a large income with injustice.’

Fin’s mom Jennifer announced Billy’s death on Instagram in a heartbreaking post last Monday, saying he passed away ‘peacefully’.
‘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 wrote.
Fin is Garner and Affleck’s middle child, with an older sister Violet Anne, 18, and younger brother Samuel, 15.
Their parents split in 2015 and finalized their divorce in 2018, but maintain a friendly relationship.
In 2022 Affleck married singer Jennifer Lopez, whose 16-year-old daughter Emme Maribel Muniz uses gender-neutral pronouns and has become close with Fin as a step-sibling.
The two were pictured together on a Los Angeles street with Affleck on February 12, with Fin sporting an eye-catching temporary pink hair dye.
The first hints of her new name came a few days earlier when Fin was pictured hugging mom Jennifer goodbye at her school bus stop in Brentwood, LA. In the photo the name ‘Fin’ can be seen embroidered on her backpack.
The teen has had a boyish haircut for years and has regularly been pictured in more masculine clothing.
The 15-year-old is just one of several celebrity kids who identify as trans.
