Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade’s Sweetest Family Moments
Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade have been together for over a decade—and married for six years. They have one daughter together, Kaavia James, and Union is stepmother to Wade’s three children from previous relationships: 13-year-old Zaya, 18-year-old Zaire, and 6-year-old Xavier. In addition, Wade has custody of his 18-year-old nephew, Dahveon Morris. Union and Wade are constantly posting the sweetest family moments on Instagram, plus photos of them as a couple that remind me, painfully, that I’m tragically single. But in these uncertain times, I’ll take joy wherever I can—and sometimes that joy is fantasizing about what it’d be like to be part of the Wade-Union family.
These Instagram posts, below, give me the most family-slash-relationship envy. I just want to be in a lineage of basketball and/or Hollywood royalty!
When Wade posted this photo on his 39th birthday, and his kids were not about it.
“This isn’t what i wanted to wake up to,” Dwyane’s 18-year-old son, Zaire, wrote in the comments, per People. Meanwhile, 13-year-old Zaya commented, “Ayooooo chill, I just got on.” His two-year-old daughter, Kaavia, also left a funny comment (though Gabrielle most likely wrote this one): “Thought I had more time before his midlife crisis/”

These four need to start a band.
Because, like, Kaavia is already a pop star!
Seriously, quarantine with this family would actually be a blast?
Zaya’s red-carpet debut was everything.
Okay, a family cannot be this cute and also this successful. It’s not fair!
As Union put it in this caption, family over everything.

And last but not least, when Union introduced Zaya to the world
After Zaya Wade came out as transgender to her family, Union shared her support on social. “Meet Zaya,” Union tweeted. “She’s compassionate, loving, whip smart and we are so proud of her. It’s Ok to listen to, love & respect your children exactly as they are. Love and light good people.”
Best family ever.
