Dwyane Wade looks forward to the next Oscars Date Night

After Kobe Bryant made it to the Oscars in 2018, the 3x NBA champion became the second NBA player to get a nomination.  He got a nomination for his documentary short film, The Barber of Little Rock. While he likes to say that he is not fixated on “winning,” the competitiveness and hunger to strive for more cannot just be taken away from the NBA great. What’s beautiful is how the couple enjoyed the moment to the fullest. The champ even expressed his wish for a second while happily expressing pride over their first date.

Teasing his wife during an interview, Wade said, “Me and my wife always wanted to come to the Oscars. We wanted to have a reason to be here, one of us have a project here…I’m the first one to bring us, so I’m happy about that.” While he was grateful to be the first one to have brought the two to the Oscars, he also teased his wife for the same. However, he quickly added, “No pressure.”

The Miami Heat legend is already quite busy crafting numerous more creations with his production company, while the actress has also dedicated her time to work after a quick Oscars celebratory vacation. Let’s wait to see what more surprises the couple has in store for us in the future.
