Zaya Wade was born to parents Dwyane Wade and Siohvaughn Funches-Wade in 2007. Dwyane and Siohvaughn separated in 2011, with Dwyane winning full custody of their two children, Zaya and Zaire.
Former NBA player Dwyane Wade has fully supported his daughter through her transition, and Zaya has received support not only from her father but also from her stepmother Gabrielle Union.
On her Instagram handle, Zaya frequently shares photos with her dad, Dwyane, and previously posted a sweet message for her dad on Father’s Day.
The 15-year-old shared grayscale photos of herself and her dad, Dwyane, and captioned the post, “Happy Father’s Day!!! Love you dad for all your support and your unconditional love. You are the best dad I could ever hope for.”
And although Siovaughn accused Dwyane of exploiting their daughter for money, Zaya appears to have sided with her father, who has supported her at every opportunity.
Zaya seems to be closer to her stepmother Gabrielle Union than her biological Siovaughn Funches. Union and Zaya teamed up on the Dove Self-Esteem Project and discussed unrealistic beauty standards and the dark side of social media.
Speaking to People magazine, Union and Zaya discussed their relationship and their closeness over time. Union said, “I can relate to who she is versus the rep who spoke for her for years. Now she’s completely herself, and so I know her, not her rep.”
