Dwyane Wade Calls Daughter Zaya A 'Hero' After Coming Out As Trans “Dwyane Wade opened up about the things he’s learned about the LGBTQIA+ community through raising his daughter, Zaya, and it’s so lovely.”
. “I didn’t know anything, really wasn’t knowledgeable about the LGBTQ+ community. What it has done is it opened my eyes and my ears to something greater and bigger than I, and my daughter has allowed us gracefully to be her support system.”
Wade shares Zaya and his oldest son Zaire — who was born in 2002 — with his ex-wife and high school sweetheart, Siohvaughn Funches. He’s also a dad to 7-year-old Xavier, whom he welcomed with his friend Aja Metoyer in 2013, and his youngest daughter, two-year-old, Kaavia, whom he welcomedvia surrogate in 2018. But it’s Zaya who he calls “the strong one in this family,” adding, “She’s a hero. It’s my wife — it’s our family’s job — to make sure that we listen to [Zaya].
Though we’re sure it’s not easy to navigate raising four children in the public eye, both Wade and Union are no doubt doing their best to show others what a supportive, inclusive family unit can be, and more of this please — it’s perfect.
