During a recent appearance on on The Breakfast Club, Wayans revealed that his oldest 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 Kai is transgender and uses he/they pronouns. Wayans also added that he plans to talk about what that experience was like for him as a parent in an upcoming comedy special, tentatively titled Rainbow Child.

Wayans and Zackery welcomed their first 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 on May 24, 2000. Kai has stepped out for a handful of events alongside his father over the years, including the premiere of 2013’s A Haunted House and 2016’s Fifty Shades Of Black.

Additionally, Wayans has posted many sweet tributes to Kai on social media. In 2022, the In Living Color alum reflected on Kai’s 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡, noting how “time flies.”

During an appearance on The Breakfast Club in November 2023, Wayans talked about his 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren and in particularly his relationship with Kai, explaining how he went through a transitional period as a parent, “going from ignorance and denial to complete unconditional love and acceptance.”
