 Grammy award-winning soul artist Sade’s only child Ila Adu took to Instagram last week to come out as a trans man.

Though Sade and her family are famously private about their personal lives, Ila was so excited about his announcement that he had to share it with the world.

“Today is the first day of the rest of my life,” he wrote on the Instagram post, followed by needle and sun emojis and the hashtags #yaaassss and #proud.

20-year-old Ila is the only child of legendary singer Sade Adu and Jamaican-American producer Bob Morgan. They raised Ila together during Sade’s ten year break from music between 2000’s Lovers Rock and 2010’s Soldier of Love.

While the soulful chanteuse has yet to publicly comment on her son’s transition, Ila’s social media presence suggests that he is supported by his family and well-equipped for the next stage of his life.
