Back in 2010, when she was 18, news broke that Kathlyn Beatty, the daughter of Academy Award-winning actor and director Warren Beatty and his wife Annette Bening, was considering a gender reassignment. Following this, Kathlyn Beatty became Stephen Ira. Nearly ten years later, Kathlyn had resumed her life as a man and had made many connections.

Kathlyn Beatty – Biography, Age
Kathlyn Beatty was born in Los Angeles, California on January 8, 1992. He was raised by his parents Beatty and Annette, the eldest of four children.
Kathlyn Beatty started being trans at the age of 14. In 2011, she started hormone treatment. By the time she became trans, she had already been living as a man for two years.
As a child, Kathlyn was homeschooled for some time before attending Arete Preparatory Academy in Los Angeles. While there, she enrolled as Stephen Ira, and through this, Beatty graduated as Stephen Ira Beatty.
She was educated at the prestigious Buckley School in Sherman Oaks. The expensive school which gobbles up £20,000 a year in tuition fees is also home to the children of some of Hollywood’s most famous entertainers such as Rod Stewart’s daughter. In 2014, he earned a BA in Writing and Literature from Sarah Lawrence College.
His works have appeared in various magazines and platforms such as DREGINALD, Sebastian Review, Transgender Vanguard, Spot literary magazine and Specter magazine. He also writes non-fiction and performs some of his works.
Family and siblings of Kathlyn Beatty
Stephen was born and raised in the family of famous Hollywood couple Warren Beatty and Annette Bening. Prior to meeting her parents, her mother had been married to actor J. Steven White while her father was single. They married in 1992 and had Kathlyn Beatty (Stephen Ira) as their first child.
Her parents met on the set of Bugsy and soon after they started dating. At the end of production, Annette discovered that she was already pregnant with Kathlyn, born in January, and the couple were married in March of that year.
Ira has three other siblings; Benjamin Beatty who was born in 1994, Isabel Beatty, born in 1997, then Ella Beatty, born in 2000. Benjamin is like his parents, an actor famous for his works such as Salut, César! (2016) and UFO (2018). Isabel is also an actress and writer who has had roles in several works, including Murder Tag (2018) and Baggage (2019).
In 2018, it emerged that Ella was trying to do this at the Juilliard School. This means she may also be hoping to follow in the footsteps of her parents and older siblings by entering the show business.
At first, it was quite difficult for Kathlyn’s family to accept that she was changing into a boy. However, they still later gave him their support, especially his mother, who remained upset by the decision. Her father, on the other hand, was reportedly crushed by his daughter’s decision to change her sex, but he came to terms with it. His family still lives in Los Angeles, California.
