Tia Carrere Supports Transgender Son Jude

Tia Carrere has shared that her 19-year-old son, Jude, has come out as transgender and expressed strong pride and support for him. Carrere described Jude as confident in his identity and a supportive friend to his peers. Jude, who is introverted and uninterested in an entertainment career, is a talented artist working with animals and may pursue a future as a doctor or veterinarian. Carrere emphasized that Jude is his own person and is thriving. The announcement coincides with Carrere's renewed recognition for her role in the live-action 'Lilo & Stitch,' which recently topped the box office. Her open support for Jude reflects a growing trend of public figures embracing their transgender children.
