Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade are making preparations for their daughter Zaya Wade’s next chapter.
Dwyane chronicled the visit with a heartfelt Instagram post. Zaya, 16, was accompanied on a tour of the University of Washingtоn in Seattle by the actress, 51, and the retired basketball player, 42.
A photo or video of the group strolling through campus and taking in some of the college’s flora, architecture, and study areas was shared by Dwyane Show.
One image depicts him and Zaya sharing a smile while shaded beneath a UW purple umbrella. In another, the adolescent strikes a pose amidst the shelving and tables of the renowned Suzzallo Library.
The videos, which were uploaded by the ecstatic father, depict him and Union grinning while a tour guide speaks, as well as Zaya and Union strolling beneath the blossoming cherry trees that envelop the campus quad.
“We’re into the College Visits season!!!” was the caption of the post by the NBA alum, who could not contain his elation.
Furthermore, Dwyane supplemented his Instagram Story with additional images, such as one depicting the ornate ceiling of the library and another one capturing Pike Place Market, an additional tourist attraction he visited in Seattle.
Regardless of which organization Zaya ultimately applies to, the adolescent’s resume is formidable. Model, influencer, and LGBTQ+ activist, she debuted on the runway in March of last year and was featured on the cover of her first magazine.
Furthermore, she is backed by Wade (who was certain to obtain the “first signed copy” of her DAZED issue) and Union, the NBA star’s spouse since 2014.Dwyane, who had Zaya and her elder sibling Zaire, 22, with ex-wife Siohvaughn Funches, stated in a recent interview with PEOPLE that he endeavors to demonstrate “unconditional love” to Zaya.
He told PEOPLE, “I don’t want to be one of those individuals who has been given to Zaya and she doesn’t feel open and confident around me.” “My intention is to exemplify unconditional love so that she may seek solace in my company as she navigates life.”
“I feel like it’s reflected in Zaya,” he further stated of the 12-year-old who came out as transgender in 2020. “The world sees it in Zaya due to the fact that she is an active member of the trans community.”
In addition to Xavier, age 10, whom he fathered with Aja Metoyer, Dwyane and Union welcomed Kaavia, age 5, into their family in 2018. Additionally, he possesses guardianship over his relative Dahveon Morris.
