High School Dating Talks With Stepmom
You won’t believe how much Zaya treasures the moments when she gets to spill the beans about her crushes with Union. “Me and my stepmom love to dish the dirt and tap into the high school gossip,” Zaya shared, and honestly, who wouldn’t want to get the green light from their stepmom to chat about who they fancy? Zaya continues—”It’s nice to have that kind of energy,” and we couldn’t agree more. It’s a refreshing break from the stereotype of a distant step-parent.

Dwyane Wade: The Teddy Bear Dad That Embarrasses
Now, let’s talk about the handyman in the family—her dad, Dwyane Wade, who has possibly perfected the dad-daughter intimidation technique. With his towering presence and deep voice, Zaya admits that her dates aren’t exactly at ease during their first meet. “He’s kind of intimidating,” she said, but don’t worry, it seems like Wade’s soft side comes out eventually. “He’s a teddy bear,” she reassured, but sometimes he just makes her want to put her head in her hands. Who doesn’t cringe a bit when their dad shows up in an outfit that defies all logic? Zaya recounts shaking her head when he struts in wearing just a suit and no undershirt. In a classic teen moment, she exclaimed, “What are you doing?”
In the grand tale of family dynamics, Zaya Wade and Gabrielle Union illustrate how a step-parent can be a best friend—and a gossip partner. Even though her dad Dwyane Wade might induce some teenage eye-rolls, it’s clear that Zaya is surrounded by love and support. While the light-hearted moments of embarrassment are inevitable, these celebrity parents are strong advocates for their LGBTQ children, creating a warm environment for Zaya, which is truly something to admire.
