"We are grateful for Dad's gentle demeanor and quiet strength. For how he teased with a mischievous smile, and for the way he invented the role of all in, ever patient girl dad," she wrote in the caption on Monday, April 1. "We are grateful for his work ethic, leadership, and faith."

Since then, the teenager has been spotted in public following the announcement of their new name. Fin was seen meeting their mother at a nail salon, while the teen sported an oversized T-shirt paired with cargo shorts.
