Actress Annette Bening is "super proud" of her and Warren Beatty's transgender son Stephen Ira.

The "20th Century Women" actress - who has Stephen Ira, 25, Benjamin, 22, Isabel, 20, and Ella, 16, with husband Warren Beatty - doesn't like to speak on behalf of her oldest child, but is impressed with the way he leads his life, reported Femalefirst.

Speaking of Stephen Ira, who was born Kathlyn and began transitioning at 14, Annette said, "I'm super proud of him. I leave it to him to say what he wants about his life. I don't think it's fair for me to speak for any of my kids, quite frankly. Not that I wouldn't like to, ha!"

"Women in showbusiness have to deal with people talking to us about our children. Men generally don't.
