Valentine’s Day this year is many more colors in the Wade family than just red. All thanks to Miami Heat icon Dwyane Wade. The 3x NBA champ planned out a loving way for Gabrielle Union-Wade and Kaavia Wade to celebrate their Valentine’s Day this year. The mother-daughter duo not only had special presents but messages associated with them.

Let’s start with little Kaavia, who was the first to reveal her present in a video on Instagram. And trust us, this one wasn’t your typical store-bought gift. She created a painting—her own masterpiece of love. When asked about her artwork, she had the sweetest explanation. “This bring everything to your heart… Everything what’s caring special for you.” Not only were the colors in her painting mesmerizing, but that heartfelt message? Enough to melt anyone’s heart.

Then came Gabrielle’s turn. And like mother, like daughter—she also chose to paint a heart. But this wasn’t just any heart; it was bursting with colors. The meaning behind it? “This is all about all the colors of love,” Gabrielle explained, adding that the stars in the painting were Kaavia’s idea.

But again, let’s not forget who made this beautiful mother-daughter moment happen—Dwyane Wade himself. Gabrielle is anyway not letting us forget it as she gave her husband full credit for coming up with the thoughtful idea, sharing her appreciation in her Instagram post. “The best Valentine’s Day yet! Mommy and @kaaviajames Valentine’s Day planned by @dwyanewade [heart emojis].”

And of course, Dwyane Wade had to show some love too. He reshared Gab’s post on his Instagram story with the sweetest message. “[Heart emoji] love day for my loves @kaaviajames @gabunion.”

Now, here’s where it gets even more special: this Valentine’s Day wasn’t just another celebration for Gabrielle and Dwyane. It was their first after marking 10 years of marriage. Yep, a whole decade of love, commitment, and growing together. They hit the milestone last August, proving if they can keep the romance alive after 10 years, maybe there’s hope for all of us. Especially when it has not been just a smooth ride for The Flash and Union as a couple.

Marriage isn’t always smooth sailing—even for power couples like Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union. The two took a moment to reflect on the highs and lows of their journey together on the occasion of their 10th wedding anniversary last year.

If you thought their relationship was all glitz and glamour, Wade wants you to know otherwise. In a video shared on Instagram on August 30, he admitted that year nine tested them in ways they hadn’t expected. Looking back, he reflected on the challenges they faced and how they had to remind themselves why they started this journey in the first place.

But through it all, Wade never lost sight of the one person who kept them pushing forward—Union. At their anniversary celebration, he thanked her for being his rock, for standing by him even when he faltered. And for believing in his growth. He acknowledged that, despite his missteps, she never wavered.

Even Union didn’t let the moment pass without sharing her own thoughts. She made it clear just how much his words meant to her and took a moment to give credit where it was due—their support system. According to her, having a strong foundation of loved ones made all the difference in keeping their marriage solid. And moments like the recent Valentine’s Day arrangements made by Dwyane Wade are only boosting what they have.
