For years, Jamie Lee Curtis kept her family life away from the glare of Hollywood. But in 2021, a quiet shift in her household drew public attention—not because of a scandal or spotlight, but because of something far more personal. It involved her youngest child, Ruby Guest.
Suddenly, headlines began to mention a name that most had never heard before. People wanted to know who Ruby was, what her life looked like behind the scenes, and why her story mattered—not just to her family, but to so many others watching.
In this article, we look at the life of Ruby Guest—not as the daughter of a movie star, but as someone who made a brave and personal choice. From her early years to her present-day life, here’s what we know about Jamie Lee Curtis’s younger daughter.
Ruby Guest’s Coming Out: A Private Moment That Sparked a Public Conversation
Ruby came out as transgender in 2020, but the moment itself wasn’t a grand announcement. It was quiet, personal, and filled with emotion. Sitting in her family’s backyard with her parents, Jamie Lee Curtis and Christopher Guest, Ruby tried to find the right words—but fear held her back. Instead, she left, and later texted her mother what she couldn’t say in person.
Jamie called immediately. Tears followed, but not out of disapproval—out of the weight of the moment, and the love behind it. What Ruby had feared most was telling her parents something they hadn’t known. What she received instead was support and patience.
Ruby had sensed she was different as early as age 16, but waited years before sharing it. Her path to self-understanding wasn’t linear—therapy setbacks and internal doubt delayed what eventually became her truth. When she finally voiced it, first to her then-fiancée and then to her parents, she was met with the reassurance she needed: “I love you for who you are.”
Jamie Lee Curtis later admitted it’s been a learning process. The name change, the pronouns—it wasn’t seamless. But the effort was never in question. “I’m a grateful student,” she said, describing Ruby’s journey as one that’s taught their whole family how to grow.
Ruby Guest’s Cosplay Wedding: A Celebration of Love and Identity
On May 29, 2022, Ruby married her partner Kynthia in a wedding that was anything but traditional—and exactly right for them. Held in the backyard of Jamie Lee Curtis’s family home, the ceremony was a colorful cosplay-themed celebration, complete with rainbow decorations, whimsical signage, and guests dressed in costume.
The bride and bride sealed their vows with a kiss as their loved ones cheered, surrounded by bright balloons and themed décor that reflected their shared love for creativity and play.
Guest’s mom, Jamie, who had proudly shared ahead of time that she would officiate the ceremony dressed as World of Warcraft’s Jaina Proudmoore, later posted snapshots from the big day. In one, she stood between the newlyweds, all three in elaborate cosplay outfits. Another captured Ruby and Kynthia embracing in front of friends and family, a moment Curtis captioned with a joyful “YES THEY DO AND DID!”
For Curtis, the wedding was deeply personal. It marked the second time one of her daughters had chosen to marry in the same family backyard, something she described as profoundly meaningful. “It brings me to tears,” she told Jimmy Kimmel before the wedding, reflecting on the simple beauty of having both children wed at home.
After the festivities, Curtis shared one final moment from the celebration—a photo of herself posing with the only item left behind: the large knife used to cut the tiramisu wedding cake. Her shirt read “WIFE IS SWEET,” a perfect ending to a day filled with love, acceptance, and family.
Guest’s Career: A Quiet Life in a Creative Field
Ruby may have grown up in a household known for red carpets and film sets, but she’s carved out a very different life for herself—one that’s private, grounded, and rooted in creativity. Rather than pursuing a career in entertainment like her parents, she works as a video editor for a YouTube gaming personality, keeping her professional world largely behind the scenes.
Her interest in gaming runs deep. Even as a kid, she gravitated toward female avatars in video games—something that later took on personal meaning as she began to explore her gender identity. That passion eventually evolved into a full-time role in the gaming and content creation space, giving her the freedom to stay close to what she loves while avoiding the spotlight that often comes with her family name.
Though adopted by Jamie Lee Curtis and Christopher Guest as an infant, Ruby has always been treated with the same unwavering support and love that defines her parents’ approach to family. And while she’s remained mostly private, the glimpses she’s chosen to share—especially after coming out—show a young woman who’s found both peace and purpose in a quiet, creative life of her own.
