The Real Housewives of Orange County alum revealed that her 14-year-old son Miles is transgender in a post on Instagram.

“He’s now a month shy of 15 yrs old, so he’s seen the questions and comments made about him on my IG,” Alexis wrote alongside a photo of the two. “Miles now has a voice and has asked me to do this post. I had stopped posting for the past few months due to this transition in Miles’ life, but he’s now ready to ‘come out’ and to use this platform to stop any hate or questions.”

Added Alexis, “I refused to post this for him for a while, but now I know Miles truly wants me to post this because he’s tired of the misgendering and confusion people have, so we are setting the record straight and hopefully bringing clarity.”

“I cannot imagine the strength and courage it took for my baby to do this,” she added. “But I’m extremely proud of him and I want everyone to understand that love doesn’t change in these situations. It’s unconditional love.”

The mother of three, who has three children along with her ex-husband Jim Bellino (Miles, McKenna, 14, and James, 16), observed that her son “can breathe knowing he can be his genuine self.”

“My son lights up every single time a stranger calls him ‘he,'” the reality star added. “My son runs with the boys. My son can actually FEEL. My son can live life now with his true self…. This is the same child with a kind heart that gave his only water bottle to his thirsty friend in kindergarten. This is the same child who gives every spare dollar on him to the homeless person on the street. I’m so proud of Miles for wanting to stop the hate, and for being brave enough to step forward at such a young age. He now has his entire life to live the way he should.”

Social media users responded to her message by showing their support for Alexis and Miles. With the words “Beautiful post” and the hand-clapping and red-heart emojis, Andy Cohen left a remark. Brave and gorgeous, Heather Dubrow of RHOC added. A beautiful example of love, Meghan King of RHOC added.
