Dwyane Wade is making the headlines yet again. After retiring from the NBA in 2019, the Miami Heat legend has entirely focused on his kids. Post his NBA career ended, Dwyane Wade wasted no time making up for lost time with his children. 

The Flash was shunned for his delusion of being a bad father by his 16 YO daughter Zaya who later bagged a massive modeling contract. Wade was full of pride to see Zaya bag a collaboration with a $1,440,000,000 company. 

This shows that with a line of talented members in the family, the Wade family cannot stop being in the headlines.

“My dad is who truly inspires me the most. Kids always tend to look up to their parents, but not only did I idolize him growing up, but especially now, as I’m growing older and getting to know him and see him as a real person, I realize that he has played such an essential role in supporting me and the way that I choose to present myself to the world. He’s been so supportive and my biggest advocate.”

With Wade now no longer an active NBA player, he has all the time in the world to spend with his children, and we hope to see more wholesome interactions like this in the future.
