Ruby came out as transgender in 2020, and married her partner Kynthia last May.
In an interview with People alongside Curtis in October 2021, the 27-year-old recalled coming out as trans to her mom and dad, Christopher Guest.
“It was scary — just the sheer fact of telling them something about me they didn’t know,” she said. “It was intimidating — but I wasn’t worried. They had been so accepting of me my entire life.”
Although she was planning on tell them face-to-face during a visit to their home, Ruby said she eventually texted them — and her mom immediately called her. “Needless to say, there were some tears involved,” Curtis said.

Meanwhile, following her Academy Awards win last month, Curtis revealed during an appearance on the “TODAY” show that she made the decision to refer to her Oscar by gender-neutral pronouns in honor of her daughter.
“Here they are! In support of my daughter Ruby, I’m having them be a they/them. I’m going just call them they/them,” said Curtis, who won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her role in “Everything Everywhere All at Once.”
“They are doing great, they’re settling in, and I just, in my life, I never saw it in a million years that I would have this couple days, and I’m very moved by the whole thing.”
