Okay, so today, I was really curious about Dwyane Wade’s personal life, especially his wife. I mean, he’s a legendary basketball player, but who’s the woman behind the man, right?
I started by hitting up Google—my go-to for pretty much everything these days. Typed in “Dwyane Wade wife,” and boom, the top results were all about Gabrielle Union. I knew the name sounded familiar! She’s an actress, and I’ve definitely seen her in some movies before. Turns out, they’re quite the power couple.
Digging a bit deeper, I found out they met way back in 2007. They were both co-hosting some Super Bowl party. But it wasn’t all smooth sailing from the start. Union was just coming out of a divorce from her first husband, Chris Howard, an NFL player. And Wade was still married to his then-wife, Siohvaughn Funches, who he has two kids with, Zaya and Zaire. Talk about a complicated start!
Anyway, it seems like things got serious between Union and Wade around 2010 when they went public. Fast forward to 2014, and they tied the knot. It’s kinda cool how they found each other after going through their own personal stuff.
Then, I got sidetracked—as one does on the internet—and started reading about Wade’s kids. Zaya Wade, his eldest daughter, she’s a pretty big deal. She came out as trans when she was 12, and her dad says she’s known who she was since she was like, 3. That’s some serious self-awareness at a young age. Plus, Zaya’s stepmom is Gabrielle Union, which is another interesting family dynamic.

Expanding the Family
I also found out that Wade has another son, Xavier, with a woman named Aja Metoyer. And then, in 2018, Wade and Union had a daughter together, Kaavia James. That’s a full house! It’s interesting to see how blended families come together. It seems like they’ve all got a pretty supportive and loving environment, which is awesome.
So, yeah, that’s what I learned today about Dwyane Wade’s wife and family. They’ve got an interesting story, and it’s cool to see how they navigate life together. Just another day of random internet discoveries!
