Dwyane Wade & Gabrielle Union Celebrate Daughter Zaya’s Birthday With Medieval & Pride-Themed Party
Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union made sure Zaya Wade had an unforgettable birthday bash.
According to E! News, the Wade family celebrated Zaya turning 13 years old by hosting a medieval and pride-themed party at their home. Several photos from the event were shared on Twitter and Instagram.
In the Twitter photos, Dwyane, Zaya, and Gabrielle are all dressed up in medieval garb. Gabrielle and Dwyane were on each side of Zaya as she took center stage in both snaps. Zaya wore a long green dress and also added a sparkly crown on her head. To complete the look, she also rocked long, lavender braids as she smiled for the camera.
Gabrielle also looked stunning in a floral dress and a matching headdress. Dwyane wore a tight gray shirt and a leather kilt for his Middle Ages tribute.
The photos of the family were shared on Twitter on Friday, June 12. Gabrielle retweeted the photos on her timeline after a user praised her and Dwyane for giving their child the birthday she wanted.
“Best day!! So glad we were able to create a special day for her 13th birthday,” the actress wrote. “She was surrounded by love and had the best time!”
Zaya also shared some photos from her birthday with her 148,000 Instagram followers. In the post, she shared photos of herself walking with her dad and stepmother. She then captioned the photo with the hashtag “happy pride” in honor of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer Pride month.
The adorable family photos come several weeks after Zaya’s actual birthday, which took place on Friday, May 29. During her big day, both Dwyane and Gabrielle left heartwarming messages about Zaya and shared how much she means to them.
Dwyane’s Instagram post was filled with photos of him and Zaya outside on a balcony. As they were watching the sunset, they made several poses, and the former NBA star lovingly wrapped his arms around his daughter in one photo.
“Waking up and watching you smile, watching you walk in your truth and live your life your way is one of the greatest gifts I’ve been able to experience in my life,” Dwyane captioned the post. “In a world where the color of your skin is deemed a threat you continue to be the bravest person I know and I’m gonna stand by your side until there isn’t anymore standing left to do. I love you more than words can articulate.”
As The Inquisitr previously shared, Dwyane and Gabrielle have been strong allies to their child in the months since she came out as transgender. In addition to openly defending Zaya on social media, the couple has also shared their experiences with raising a transgender child in multiple interviews.
