Dwyane Wade takes a lot of pride when it comes to being a father. As a parent of 5 children, there are a lot of things to feel proud about. But with his 16-year-old daughter Zaya Wade, things were a bit different after she came out as trans at the age of 12. Anyhow, the Miami Heat legend has not taken his duty as a father for granted. Letting go of his dream, Wade has now started to find pride in his daughter’s possible future career, which is fashion.
Among many dreams, Wade wanted his daughter Zaya to play basketball. The three-time champion shared he was very excited when he, LeBron James, and Carmelo Anthony gave birth to their children at almost the same time. He was looking forward to the next version of all these three legends. Wade had then shared, “I have Zaya. LeBron has Bryce. Melo has Kiyan. All within a 2-3 week span… All our kids gonna grow up hooping together”. But not everything goes as planned.
However, there is a new dream now and Zaya Wade will soon become a fashion icon, which the 3-time champion seems to be proud of. The 16-year-old has starred as a model for an Italian luxury brand, ‘Miu Miu’, that has gone viral on Instagram.
