Earlier this year, de Jager came out as transgender.
“I want to start the year off with the truth, I want to start the year off by finally revealing a part of my life that has made me who I am. I want to talk about a part of myself that makes me, me,” the popular beauty influencer revealed back in January. “I can’t believe I’m saying this today to all of you for the entire world to see but damn it feels good to finally do it.”
