Which of R Kelly’s kids is a transgender male?

In 2014, Andrea Kelly spoke openly about her decision to support her daughter Jaya, now Jay, as she underwent the process of transitioning from female to male.

Andrea explained back then, “All I can say about Jay is he makes it so easy to be a proud mom. For parents, we need to realize, [our kids] have their own journey. Parents get it wrong when they don’t support their children. They have to go out and fight every day and face this world. The first battle should not be at home. I think that a lot of children in the LGBT community don’t succeed because the one thing they need the most is foundation. I just tell Jay all the time, ‘baby you won the war. You’re gonna have a lot of battles but you won the war’.”

Jay Kelly is now living openly as a transgender teen, and while he admits he was a kind of nervous to tell his father, R&B superstar R. Kelly, due to their complicated relationship, there has been nothing but love and support from the rest of the family.

Where are R Kelly’s kids now?

R Kelly’s kids, ranging from the ages of l6-21, live close to their mom in Los Angeles. In a recent interview with ABC, the Kelly kids shared that they are well-aware about their dad’s past and they don’t have any contact with him. Press play to get to know them [7:57 mark].
