“Special announcement coming soon — stay tuned for something big!” Dwyane Wade Sr. left a mystery for the fans to figure out as he cheered his son’s huge honor from the Miami Heat. The countdown for the Dwyane Wade statue unveiling has begun with fans already having fixated eyes at Kaseya Center. The pre-celebration named ‘Statues are Forever‘ that went trending last night has already added up for further excitement. Think about another news revealed by the Hall of Fame legend’s family. Yes, Dwyane Wade Sr. has something for your curiosity!

The weekend was a blast for the former Jersey Number #3, who partied, created interesting dance steps, and hosted the ‘When We Gather Food and Wine Festival.‘ Amidst this hectic day, Wade indeed took some time off to be with his father for his special event. Wade Sr. captured this occasion and posted it on Instagram, where ‘D-Wade’ is spotted with stepmother Danielle Koping-Wade. The particularities of this event are worth exploring.

While sharing the photograph, Wade Sr. wrote, ”Raising a glass to the next big thing! 🍸 Introducing my Beautiful Wife @danberrimia and Daughter @itslllillly pre-launch D’Berri exclusive vodka, crafted with passion and ready to make waves.Join the party and be the first to taste D’Berri Vodka the incredible blend of elderberry and natural sugarcane! Sip, savor, and become part of this unforgettable journey Don’t miss out on this exclusive experience! Stay Tuned 🫐🥂”

Since Wade Jr. already has a successful wine business ‘Wade Cellars’ it makes sense to be thrilled for another liquor brand from the family. 

Meanwhile, the real goosebump moment which is the Heat statue reveal is within a few hours. In case you forgot to mark your calendar, it is scheduled for October 27th Sunday by 5:00 PM in front of Kaseya Center (West end). Another associated event will be the ‘Dwyane Wade Statue Night‘ which will commence by 7:30 PM the next day. Moreover, the Miami Heat has already announced the renaming of North East 7th Street as “Dwyane Wade Boulevard.”

Getting back to Wade Sr.’s post here, there is another emotional significance to it. It is the bonding of a ‘blended family’. 

What is Danielle for Dwyane?

“We were a true depiction of our blended family,” said Miami entrepreneur Danielle Koping at this serene wedding event where she accepted Wade Sr. surrounded by their kids dressed up in tune with the bride and groom. The proud look at Dwyane Wade, while he looked at the couple, was his way of agreeing to the union. The couple’s journey that began at a ProPops Foundation event thus entered a new beautiful chapter in 2018 on the backdrops of Venice, Italy with the blessings of children including Wade Jr. 

Indeed Wade Jr. knew of Danielle even before his father proposed to her in 2016. One of her early Instagram posts in 2015, where she stands with both father and son is its testimony. “Great event with both D WADE. ..congrats to Marcus . TOA” says its caption. The ‘Father Prime’ is also warm on sharing photographs with stepmom, “Oh yea, that’s my wife and my stepmother haha we good over here.” This is a way Dwyane tagged her in a post wishing his father a happy birthday. 

However, the stepmom and son hardly meet, which many may agree with for their busy life. The latest of these photographs also shows that their relationship is still warm and includes her daughter and Wade Sr.’s stepdaughter Lilly. 

No wonder this happens considering how dearly Danielle sees Wade Sr., the one the Miami Heat champion considers as the important person in his life. This fact makes this pretty photograph on social media as one immersed in genuine feelings.
