Marlon Wayans says trans child Kai is the ‘same’ as before: ‘They’ve just got a beard now’

Actor Marlon Wayans has said his trans child Kai is the “same” person they were before but with a “beard now”. 

Appearing on The Jennifer Hudson Show on Tuesday (17 September), White Chicks star Wayans said of his three children: “Those are my babies,” adding of Kai: “I went through the five stages of grief to get to the beautiful, magical place called acceptance.” 

Kai has taught him that he is “a lot stronger than I thought I was”, the comedian went on to say. 

“I learnt that my family, my brothers, my sisters, have prepared me to be a rock in our family.” Kai is “the same child they was before, they’ve just got a beard now. OK. Same baby”.
