Dwyane Wade, the legendary NBA player, is not only known for his remarkable career on the basketball court but also for being a dedicated father to his children.
Zaire Wade
Wade's oldest son, Zaire Blessing Dwyane Wade, was born February 4, 2002, to the player and his former wife Siohvaughn Funches. Six-foot-three Zaire Wade, looking to dribble in the footsteps of his famous father, has received numerous basketball scholarship offers. He is presently a guard with Salt Lake City Stars and the G League affiliate of the Utah Jazz.
Zaya Wade
Zaya Wade, who was born Zion Wade on May 29, 2007, is the second child of Dwyane and Siohvaughn Funches. In 2019, Zaya made international headlines when she appeared at a Miami Pride parade with her sister and stepmother, Gabrielle Union.
On The Ellen DeGeneres Show in February 2020, Dwyane confirmed that Zaya wishes to be called she/her and identifies as female. Celebrities and well wishers swamped Zaya with love and support when she came out in public as female. As of February 2023, her official name is Zaya Malachi Airamis Wade -- a reflection of her journey to self-identification and self-expression.
Xavier Zechariah Wade
Xavier Zechariah Wade, born on November 10, 2013, is Dwyane Wade's third son. Xavier was born during a difficult time in Dwyane's personal life, and he described Xavier's birth as a blessing at a press conference. Although not living with his father, Xavier is a very important part of Dwyane's life, and Dwyane is devoted to ensuring that Xavier feels cared for and loved.
Kaavia James Union Wade
Kaavia James Union Wade, Dwyane's youngest child, was brought into the world on November 7, 2018 by a surrogate for Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade. The entire family was overjoyed by Kaavia's arrival, notably after Gabrielle Union had so much difficulty conceiving.
Dwyane Wade as Father
In addition to his exploits on the court, Dwyane Wade's commitment to parenting is evident in his dedication to bringing up and supporting his children. He has shown with dignity and love an exemplary ability to navigate the complexities of co-parenting, legal guardianship, and the dynamics of a blended family. Dwyane's support and openness to Zaya's journey of self-discovery have deeply influenced not only the family itself but also the cause of LGBTQ+ rights and respect.
