Kalvin Zinn (formerly Kylee Lynn Donovan, December 1, 2000 - May 9, 2020) was the adopted transgendered son of Vote for the Girls host and former WXXC-FTV Fort Wayne news reporter Ava Zinn and the transgendered son of American socialite Amanda Donovan.


Life and career[edit]

Zinn was born on December 1, 2000 in Brandon, Florida to Amanda Davidson (b. 1981 d. 2014) and Juan Miko Donovan (b. 1973 d. 2015) and was initially named as "Christi Shannon Donovan" and stated that Donovan was the father of Kalvin. Miko wrote letters describing his dubious motives to Davidson. Davidson took a DNA test to prove the paternity. Davidson and Donovan married November 19, 2000 after DNA tests proved Miko to be the biological father of her child, renamed Kylee Lynn Donovan.

On December 3, 2015, Ava Zinn filed to legally adopt Kalvin from Davidson's previous marriage to Juan Donovan. The adoption was finalized on January 4, 2016 and Kalvin's name was changed to Kylee Lynn Zinn upon the adoption being finalized.
