Alexis Bellino Shares Miles’ Journey On IG
“He is now a month over 15 years old, so he saw the questions and comments made about him on my IG. Miles now has a voice and has asked me to do this post. I’ve stopped posting for the past few months due to this transition in Miles’ life, but he’s now ready to “come out” and use this platform to stop any hate or questions,” she wrote in her caption. “I’m holding off on posting this for her for a while, but now I know Miles really wanted this because he’s tired of people being misgendered and confused, so we’re setting the record straight and hopefully providing some clarity.”

“Love Doesn’t Change In This Situation”
The reality star explained that she had known for more than 16 months, but Miles kept it a secret from others for a while. It took him a while to get to the point where he was ready to tell about it and mother and son agreed now was the time.
“I can’t imagine the strength and courage it took for my baby to do this, but I’m so proud of him and I want everyone to understand that love doesn’t change in this situation. It is unconditional love,” he wrote. “My son has now grown rapidly!! My son is now smiling naturally for the first time in years! My son now loves the clothes he wears. My son can breathe because he can be who he really is. My son lights up every time a stranger calls him “he.” My son runs with the boys. My son can actually FEEL. My son can live life now with his true self….”
Alexis’ caption goes on to explain that this is the same kid who has done so many wonderful things like giving his only water bottle to a thirsty friend in kindergarten, and the kid who gave his spare change to a homeless person on the street. He also explained that Miles wanted to open up about his transition to hopefully stop the hate.
