The two were so focused on their respective careers that they separated in 2013 for a short while. During their separation, Wade welcomed another child with Basketball Wives star Aja Metoyer. Despite Wade fathering a child with another woman, the former NBA player and Union reconciled and engaged in late 2013. They finally married in August of 2014, and together have one child, Kaavia James, who was born in 2018. When Wade retired from the NBA in 2018, the two had their daughter via surrogate.

While Union and Wade only share one biological child, the two are parents to five children. Out of high school, Wade married Siohvaughn Funches in 2002, where they stayed together for five years. By the time they divorced in 2007, they had two kids, Zaire and Zaya, for whom Wade was awarded full custody in 2011. Alongside his own four children, Wade and Union raise Wade's nephew Dahveon Morris. In 2020, Wade's daughter Zaya made news as she announced that she was a transgender girl. In an interview with Good Morning America, Wade said his then 12-year-old daughter Zaya knew she was transgender for nine years before telling her family. The former NBA star referred to the teen as ...our leader... and revealed how proud he is of her for living her truth. Wade told Robin Roberts: ...She's known it for nine years. She's known since she was three years old.

Myself and my family we love the fact that she doesn't have to hide who she is. She is our leader.... He continued: ...Zaya early on knew two things. She knew straight, and she knew gay. But Zaya started doing more research. ...She was the one that sat down with us as a family and said, I don't think I'm gay. This is my gender identity. I identify myself as a young lady. ...I think I'm a straight trans because I still like boys. So it was just a process for us to sit down with our daughter and figure out who she is and what she likes.... Zaya's journey is featured in Wade's documentary D. Wade: Life Unexpected, where he opens up about his basketball career and family life. But while Zaya is forging her own path, Wade's son Zaire seems to be following in his father's footsteps. The 19-year-old is said to have signed a contract with the NBA's minor league organization, the G League, and is expected to join the Salt Lake City Stars, the Utah Jazz's affiliate team, per The Atlantic. Funny enough, his NBA all-star dad became part owner of the Jazz in April 2021. What did Gabrielle Union say about Wade fathering another child during their separation? In her new book, You Got Anything Strong, published on September 14; Union discusses the moment in their relationship where Wade fathered another child with another woman. When Dwyane broke the news to UNION that Aja was expecting, she explained that they ...were in a much better place... relationship-wise. However, it didn't hurt any less to hear about it. ...To say I was devastated is to pick a word on a low shelf for convenience,... Union wrote. ...I have not had words, and even after untold amounts of therapy, I am not sure I have them now. But truth matters.... The actress explained that she and Dwyane were trying to have a baby of their own at the time, but her road to motherhood wasn't an easy feat. While Union was struggling to get pregnant, she said Wade told her, ...As much as we want this baby, I want you...We've lost too much in our relationship for me to be okay with encouraging you to do one more thing to your body and your soul.... ...The experience of Dwyane having a baby so easily \- while I was unable to -left my soul not just broken into pieces, but shattered into fine dust scattering in the wind,... she recalled. ...We gathered what we could to slowly remake me into something new. There was no way to disguise where I'd been glued back together.... She remembered thinking: ...This woman is such a failure. And she has the nerve to be old. And she has the nerve to have a younger husband. And she has the nerve to stick with a guy who had a kid with somebody else.... Union admitted her ...feelings weren't originating from a healthy place... during that period. We pay for your stories! Do you have a story for The US Sun team?
