“You are a miracle who has blessed everyone with your kindness, compassion, elite humor, intelligence and your loving soul.” On November 7, Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union shared a loving message for Kaavia. The Wade household celebrated the youngest one as she turned 6, and the festivities that have kept rolling from the last week of October, haven’t stopped.
“A real-life Barbie playdate to start her birthday morning!” The 4x NBA Champion previously said in his Instagram story. Today, we saw a glimpse of the Barbie theme party. Everyone dressed in pink, a cake with Kaavia’s silhouette in the same color, her name mimicking the logo, and the highlight, a dance floor.
Among the other guests and Union, Dwyane Wade was in perfect sync with the hit Dua Lipa song — Dance The Night Away, part of Barbie The Album. “Barbie world vibes,” he captioned it. Union reshared it in her story and, surprisingly, her husband mimicked the steps to the tee.

After the statue unveiling ceremony, Zaire had shared a post of the celebrations. In one of the clips, he says, “I’m passing the phone to the GOAT, you all check it out.” Obviously, it was his father who was celebrating the special day and shouted, “Set in stone!” As soon as the beat dropped, Dwyane Wade’s excitement got a little out of hand. The disturbed camera angle meant the Miami Heat icon had stumbled and we weren’t wrong.

And just days before, right after the statue unveiling, he had his A game up once again. To celebrate his wife, Gabrielle Union’s day, he organized a surprise party.

This is being accountable for mess ups…” Union’s caption read later.
